Nate Smith has barely been on the scene two years and he’s already stacking multi-platinum singles, selling out headlining tours, and landing major brand partnerships. The Long Live Country Rock and Roll Tour, Powered by Honda, kicked off March 26 at Cain’s Ballroom in Tulsa with opener Brandon Wisham, and it’s rolling across the country through the spring. Special guests Josh Ross and Just Jayne join on select dates.
Honda’s involvement goes well beyond a logo on a banner. Smith, who regularly rides a Honda ATV on property near his Nashville home, personally designed a custom-wrapped Honda FourTrax Foreman Rubicon DCT EPS that’s on display at each tour stop, with fans entered to win it through a sweepstakes. “Designing a custom four-wheeler we get to give away to fans just takes it to another level,” Smith said. The partnership is built on genuine overlap, not a manufactured endorsement.
The numbers behind Smith are hard to argue with. Over 3.9 billion global career streams. Four consecutive number ones, including “Fix What You Didn’t Break,” after becoming the first artist in Country Aircheck/Mediabase history to launch with three straight multi-week chart-toppers. His self-titled debut went Gold, ‘California Gold’ followed with genre-blending collaborations featuring Avril Lavigne and Alesso, and the accolades, including ACM New Male Artist of the Year 2024, have kept coming. After this tour wraps, he’s direct support on Jason Aldean’s Full Throttle Tour 2026.
