Granger Smith ft. Earl Dibbles Jr.
The following description comes from the event organizer.
The Oregon State Fair welcomes Granger Smith as part of their Columbia Bank Concert Series.
Over the course of his groundbreaking career, Granger Smith has amassed a massive and rabid audience now known as "Yee Yee Nation" built through heavy touring and grassroots fan engagement. He now has a social media following of over eight million along with over one billion online video views. Flagship artist of BBR Music Group's Wheelhouse Records, Smith broke into the national scene with Remington, an album that garnered him the No. 1 smash "Backroad Song." Smith was also awarded a BMI Country Award for writing, producing, publishing and performing "Backroad Song" and followed it with the Top Five hit, "If The Boot Fits." "Backroad Song" was one of the Top 10 Most Played Country singles of 2016 according to Mediabase and has been certified RIAA PLATINUM. He was nominated as Best New Country Artist for the 2017 iHeartRadio Awards and was included in the 2017 crop of artists honored during the CRS "New Faces" show. His album When The Good Guys Win spawned the hit "Happens Like That" that peaked at 13 on Country charts and has been certified RIAA GOLD.
Not only has Granger stacked major accolades as an artist, but he also released his first-ever book If You’re City, If You’re Country, which immediately hit No. 1 on Amazon best-selling lists upon its pre-order announcement. He toured with Kane Brown for a good part of 2019 and Granger’s current single "That’s Why I Love Dirt Roads" is quickly rising up the country music charts. The song elevates the dirt road to a place of sanctuary and honor and becomes more than an ode to growing up off the grid. Although still nostalgic, the lyrics are much deeper than just good times on backroads.
Smith is also known for his alter-ego Earl Dibbles Jr. Together Smith and Dibbles have created a massive online presence. From Smith’s YouTube series, "The Smiths” to Dibbles satirical, gut-busting music videos such as "Country Boy Love," “they” have generated over one billion online video views and gained over eight million social media followers and counting. They are the proud leaders of Yee Yee Nation, which has essentially become a community of its own where people share a passion of the outdoors and living life to the fullest.
