Grant Maloy Smith is a Billboard Top 10 American Roots Singer/Songwriter with a country bent. He has performed twice at Carnegie Hall, but he is equally at home in a 50-seat listening room. His songs tell heartfelt stories about real people and are unfailingly optimistic and forward-looking. His album, "Dust Bowl - American Stories," earned rave reviews, including one from NO DEPRESSION, the bible of American Roots music. “Grant’s ability to capture the heartland in his music is amazing ... he has written A heartland masterpiece ... lyrics and music as potent as Woody Guthrie ... sent chills down my spine ... bound to become a classic ... A reminder of the darker period of Bob Dylan, and it’s that good, that memorable...” Grant is a member of the CMA and AMA, and his music is distributed by Sony Orchard.
