Big Machine Records has signed Dan Smalley to its artist roster. The Shreveport, Louisiana native officially joins the Big Machine Label Group imprint which boasts Taylor Swift, Rascal Flatts, Sugarland, Cheap Trick, Carly Pearce, Midland, The Cadillac Three and Lauren Jenkins.

“It’s incredibly humbling to join the ranks of talented acts with such a solid team and I couldn’t be happier to officially sign with Big Machine Records,” said Smalley. “My family and I have never been more excited about our future!”

Big Machine Records GM Jim Weatherson comments, “When Laurel Kittleson introduced Dan Smalley to us, he came with a confident swagger, golden voice and a toolbox full of life stories that are undeniably authentic. We are very proud to have Dan join the Big Machine Records roster and are excited to launch his music to fans.”

The singer/songwriter, who spent years playing local gigs in his home state and Texas, now resides in Nashville with his wife and two children. His affinity for artists like Sturgill Simpson, Chris Stapleton and Jason Isbell is reflected in his standout songwriting. Smalley continues to preview his music from coast to coast and has shared the stage with John Conlee, Justin Moore, Billy Currington, Craig Morgan, Randy Rogers Band, The Turnpike Troubadours and more.
