Overcoming Shyness, Default, And His Fourth Album with Dallas Smith

On The Porch With Front Porch Music

Somehow we blinked and we’re at the season finale for Season 2 of On The Porch with Front Porch Music.
We’re so excited to have multi-CCMA award winning country artist Dallas Smith.
Dallas dove into music after overcoming his fear of singing in front of people. Within a year, he went from jamming in the garage with his band (Default) to having a record deal and hitting the road as a frontman.
Dallas grew up with two very musical parents, recalling his house filled with Reba, k.d. Lang, Martina McBryde, The Judds, Brooks and Dunn, Alan Jackson, and Vince Gill. While he was into the Beatles and Led Zeppelin, he credits his mom’s favourite music even in influencing Default’s music.
Dallas shared a lot about his journey and relationship with the music business, getting involved through management and Local Hay Records, and investing time in mentoring emerging artists.
Dallas shared the “country record?” text that set off his solo career, and the organic experience of finding his way into Canadian country music.
We also dive into his self-titled fourth studio album, Dallas Smith.
