WARREN, Ohio (WKBN) – Country music star Granger Smith will be coming to Warren’s Packard Music Hall this fall.

The concert featuring fan favorite Earl Dibbles, Jr. will take place on Thursday, October 21 at 8 p.m. ET.

Some of Granger’s biggest hits include “Backroad Song”, “That’s Why I Love Dirt Roads” and “Hate You Like I Love You”.

While preparing for his 10th studio album in 2019, all of those plans came to an end when Granger’s 3-year-old son River tragically died in a drowning accident.

After several months of mourning, “That’s Why I Love Dirt Roads,” a song he planned to record before the accident, hit him in a different way. Granger continued to record it, knowing that if it could help him cope, it might do the same for the others.

When the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in quarantines and closures, Granger wrote several other songs that appeared on his latest album, “Country Things,” including “I Kill Spiders” and “Heroes”.

YouTube channel “The Smiths” – which provides insight into the lives of Granger, his wife, Amber, and their children – as well as Yee Yee, a clothing and lifestyle brand he started with his brothers , have expanded the star’s country music fan base.

Tickets will be available in presale in line this Thursday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. when you use the PACKARD password.

Tickets will go on sale Friday from 10 a.m. in line and at the Packard Music Hall box office. Prices start at $ 32.
