MUSIC
Starting the year with a #2 hit single on the National Country Airplay charts (The Ghost Of This Guitar), Tony Smith has really hit the ground running. The success of all of his singles has also gained him two prestigious wins at the 2021 Tamworth Country Music Festival:
The Most Promising Future Star at the People's Choice Awards
Bluegrass Song Of The Year at the TSA Songwriters Salute Awards
Now comes the release of his fourth single ‘Hit It On The Run’, another feel-good uptempo tune that explores the challenges of long-distance relationships.
“ When I first started working in W.A. I was on a four weeks on one week off roster and it was a real relationship challenger. I saw a few guys lose families over a couple of years I worked that particular roster. I penned this song with respect to the long-distance lovers who know the love of their lives will always be there at the turnaround, whether it's days, months or years.” Tony Smith
‘Hit It On The Run’ is sure to be popular with both country radio and country fans alike. And with this release comes the highly anticipated launch of the album - ‘Stir The Embers’, which has spawned all of his hit singles to date. 24 years in the making, the songs on ‘Stir The Embers’ capture and reflect the unfolding adventure of Tony's life as he writes about his loves, losses and experiences raising a family, and working across Australia as a shearer, miner, truck driver, musician, husband and father. Hit singles on the album include ‘The Ghost Of This Guitar’ (#2 on National Charts), ‘Dance On’ (#15) and ‘Dirt Kids’ (#12) with more to come.
It's been a long time coming and well worth the wait.
