NASHVILLE, TN (October 28, 2014) – After leaving a mark on country radio with his high-energy single “Tippin’ Point,” rising country star
Dallas Smith has released his new follow-up anthem, “Wastin’ Gas.” Premiering on SiriusXM’s
The Highway today,
the infectious single is a shout-along song that celebrates the
no-particular-place-to-go mentality of young love on a full tank. The
song is now available at
iTunes and will be featured on his upcoming Big Loud Mountain EP,
LIFTED.
The country newcomer brings a fresh slant to country, with a
wall-of-sound approach that combines the vocals of country with the
crunch of rock. The title-track to Smith’s last EP, TIPPIN’ POINT,
set the record for the fastest Canadian country single to go GOLD, and
has since been certified PLATINUM. The six-song project also features
fan-favorites “Slow Rollin’,” “Wrong About That” and “Nothin’ But
Summer.”
His energetic live shows and compelling tunes have caught the attention
of headlining acts, including music legend Bob Seger and superstar duo
Florida Georgia Line who have previously selected him for coveted
opening slots. In 2015, Smith will launch his headline TIPPIN’ POINT
Tour across Canada.
Hailing from British Columbia, Smith brings a healthy dose of rock and
roll power to his brand of lively country music. Producer Joey Moi
(Florida Georgia Line, Jake Owen) captured his unique energy and
unmistakable vocals on his award-winning breakout Canadian country
debut, JUMPED RIGHT IN, and Smith has teamed up with him again for his forthcoming project, LIFTED. Amassing national appeal, the CMW Radio Awards winner netted three 2014 CCMA Award nominations including Single, Album and Male Artist of the Year and is the first Canadian country artist to have 8 singles reach the Top 10 at radio in Canada.
