Acrpost: A Project of the Pacific Association of Artist Run Centres

Event Description

Dallas Smith, ten year veteran and front man of the successful Rock band Default, has stepped on over to the world of Country music. And what a successful step it has been! His debut album Jumped Right In immediately shot to the top of the Canadian Top 100 Neilsen Soundscan Chart, peaking at #19 and #4 on the Country Album Chart. An unprecedented five Top 10 singles, "Nothing but Summer", "What Kinda Love", "Jumped Right In", “Somebody Somewhere” and “If It Gets You Where You Wanna Go”, have emerged from his first country music project. Such meteoric success is no coincidence. Rather, it is the result of genius collaboration with acclaimed songwriter/producer Zac Maloy, Grammy nominated songwriter Rodney Clawson, Chris Tompkins and Joey Moi, Nashville’s biggest and brightest.

To Dallas, country music has always been about the “special combination of voice and song.” He says, “I’ve always chosen and written songs with challenging vocals that I love to sing.” That credo has landed dallas smith in the middle of the 2013 CCMA Awards. He will perform live at the awards show where he will also anticipate the outcome of his three nominations for Album of the Year, Male Artist of the Year and Single of the Year. This is sure to be a landmark concert for this shooting star.
