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 - The Ghost Of This Guitar, Dirt Kids and Dance On

After the incredible national chart success of his first two singles ‘Dirt Kids’ and ‘Dance On’, Tony Smith continues to bring us songs full of Australian colour and characters with his latest release ‘The Ghost Of This Guitar’ – this one inspired by the great Slim Dusty. Taken from his forthcoming album ‘Stir The Embers’, it’s a rollicking country tune that captures the true Australian country spirit in the style of Henry Lawson.

​

“When I was young Dad used to play Slim Dusty every night while he had a beer on the verandah and one song in particular was a favourite of mine “Where Country Is” a song about an old ringer sitting outside the Birdsville hotel singing songs about Australia. I wrote this song as an ode to the old ringer and his cracked and battered Gibson guitar” Tony Smith

​

‘The Ghost Of This Guitar’ is sure to be another hit with country radio as Tony treads the well-worn path of Australian country pioneers like Slim Dusty and John Williamson with a style that is truly his own.

Tony Smith follows up the success of his single ‘Dance On’ which charted Nationally around Australia peaking at #15 on the Country Songs Top 40 and #8 on the Tasmanian Top 40, with a new lively single called ‘Dirt Kids’ from his upcoming ‘Stir The Embers’ album release, due for 2021.

‘Dirt Kids’ is an uptempo bluegrass-style song all about kids living on the land. In Tony’s own words -  " On most farms, there is one, two or more of these little critters to be found, kids who want to take over the world one farm chore at a time. Covered in dirt from daylight to dusk, the dirt kids are why we get up every morning.”

​

‘Dirt Kids’ is sure to make you smile and ensure Tony Smith continues to have hits across the country leading up to his new album release in Tamworth 2021.
