Nate Smith Achieves Largest Album Debut From A New Artist This Year

May 10, 2023/by Lorie Hollabaugh

The collection, released on April 28, hit No. 6 on Billboard’s Country Albums chart and No. 30 overall on the Billboard Top 200.

Last week, Smith celebrated the release of the new album with a show at Skydeck on Broadway in Nashville. Prior to his performance, he did a meet-and-greet with Healthcare Heroes as part of Musicians on Call, gifting them with Love Your Melon “Hero Caps” as a thank you for their continued sacrifices. Smith has a special connection to the healthcare community, as he was a nurse assistant for over a decade prior to pursuing music.

Smith recently kicked off his run with Thomas Rhett on his “Home Team Tour 23,” and was nominated for New Male Artist of the Year at the 58th ACM Awards.
