With over 2.5 million MySpace plays and over 44,000 Myspace friends (adding over 200 new fans a day), Corey Smith is consistently ranked among MySpace's "Top Artists" and as of March 2007 was the #1 unsigned-country, #5 unsigned-acoustic artist, and #11 on the rock ranking chart. Corey has sold over 200,000 songs online since May 2006, 70,000 on iTunes alone...

Since the 2003 release of his debut album, Undertones, singer-songwriter Corey has been flying high under the radar, attracting an enthusiastic grassroots following with an Americana sound that is all his own. Drawing heavily from the blues, country, and rock traditions of the South, he applies the back-porch twang of an acoustic guitar, a soulful singing voice, and well-crafted lyrics to the task of creating music that is at once distinct and familiar. Audiences are certainly responding - proving that a genuine, unpretentious approach to songwriting and live performance has mass appeal.

"Corey is what might happen if you threw Jimmy Buffett, Robert Earl Keen, Donkey (from Shrek), Bob Schneider and a few shots of whiskey into a blender, poured it into one of those 64-oz. traveling mugs that might last long enough to get you to the state line on the most insane road trip of your life..."
