Conner Smith Highlights ‘The Storytellers’ On Upcoming New Concept Project
Conner Smith goes a little deeper into the heart of the craft on his new project The Storyteller due October 4 via The Valory Music Co.
The reflective roots collection features four tracks co-written in sequence, plus a solo-penned revelation and was produced by Dwight Baker. The title track from the project arrives today and finds Smith thinking big about small, simple elements and realizing those are the actual stuff of legend. Featuring the presentation of a modern Western, Smith details a journey of discovery alongside co-writers Dwight Baker and Flatland Cavalry’s Cleto Cordero that celebrates those who leave their mark on the world – whether through a million-dollar masterpiece, or a steady 9-to-5.
“I had the title of ‘The Storyteller’ in my phone for a long time and didn’t really know what that meant yet in terms of a song, I just knew that the heart of my music is the stories,” explains Smith. “It got me thinking that we’re all storytellers, every person is in their own story inside of the bigger story. It’s amazing to think about how stories can really move people and I’ve always been fascinated with how to do that through music, ever since I was a little kid writing songs. The Storyteller feels like a rare creative moment that I wanted to capture by telling stories in a cool way.”
A new video for the title track was conceptualized and filmed by Conner’s brother and creative director, Cooper Smith. Smith currently serves as direct support for Luke Bryan’s “Farm Tour,” which rolls on tonight (9/27) in Millersport, Ohio.
