Nick Smith

Virginia’s own Nick Smith returns bigger on his New South Tour. The Kents Store native—who’s become one of Nashville’s most modern country artists—has developed a following for his catchy songs that combine pop, R&B, and country sensibilities with the flashing lights and high energy of city living. This genre-collapsing performer covers topics relating to life, love, and liberty with a sound that’s likely to grace commercials for big trucks and cold beers in the near future.

Saturday 7/12
$30–35, 8pm. The Jefferson Theater, 110 E. Main St., Downtown Mall. jeffersontheater.com
