Nate Smith has already marked off a milestone after kicking off his Long Live Country Rock & Roll Tour March 26 at Cain's Ballroom in Tulsa.
His March 28 date at Billy Bob's Texas in Fort Worth brought in his highest ticket sales ever for a show in his career so far.
The trek picks back up Thursday in Wallingford, Connecticut. Josh Ross, Brandon Wisham and Just Jayne join Nate at different points on the 23-date tour, which includes a June 17-18 stop at Nashville's historic Ryman Auditorium.
Meanwhile, Nate's the latest guest on Billboard's Takes Us Out series, where the music magazine meets up with an artist at one of their favorite spots. Nate picked Great White in Los Angeles for a chat that includes the story of his latest hit, "After Midnight" with Tyler Hubbard.
