Conner Smith has announced his first-ever headlining “If I Went To College Tour” with special guests Mackenzie Carpenter and Jonathan Hutcherson.

The run kicks off Feb. 9 in Rosemont, Illinois and will visit Tuscaloosa, Baton Rouge, Knoxville, and more before wrapping April 28 with a homecoming show in Nashville. The Nashville-raised singer-songwriter’s pre-sale is going on now ahead of the public on sale Friday (Jan. 27).

Smith’s debut collection, Didn’t Go Too Far, helped earn him 2022 Artist to Watch status from Spotify, Amazon Music and Opry NextStage, while also making him the only country artist on Pandora’s Ten List 2022. He also secured 2023 recognition from MusicRow as a member of the Next Big Thing Class of 2023, CMT Listen Up, and more.

The rising artist scored his first top 40 hit with the young-at-heart “Learn From It.”His love-savoring new single, “Take It Slow,” has quickly racked up over 90 million global streams to date as it rises at country radio.
