Nate Smith releases 'Through the Smoke' EP

The seven-track project features a cover of Nirvana’s “Heart Shaped Box”

Fresh off his ten consecutive week No. 1 with “World on Fire,” country breakout star Nate Smith releases his new EP Through The Smoke. The seven-track project features the new single “Bulletproof” with five additional new songs and a cover of Nirvana’s “Heart Shaped Box.” Showing no signs of slowing down, “Bulletproof” has reached the top 25 on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart this week.

“I’ve been through a lot of adversity in my life, but ‘through the smoke’ came to mind one day and I thought that was the perfect way to describe making it through tragedy,” Smith shares. “It captures what it looks like on the other side of heartbreak, on the other side of tragedy, on the other side of giving everything you’ve got to go after what you want to do in life. I think this EP is a transition between all the fire and pain and everything I went through, and then overcoming. And that’s what I want people to feel. It’s layered in there.”

Last night (Thurs, Apr 4th), Smith joined Morgan Wallen for the kickoff to Wallen’s One Night at a Time 2024 tour. Smith will open the highly sought-after tour in stadiums across the country, with stops in Arlington, Charlotte, Denver, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Las Vegas, Minneapolis, Nashville, Oxford, Tampa and other cities. Smith will also return to Stagecoach after his debut appearance at the festival last year.
