Conner Smith delivers a bluegrass-inflected twang rocker with his brand-new track, “Creek Will Rise,” via The Valery Music Co. The new song impact Country radio this spring!
Penned by Smith with Chris LaCorte, Chase McGill and Parker Welling and produced by Zach Crowell, the passionate single marries red-dirt romance and chemistry packed lyrics with the singer’s swift vocals to share the story of a couple’s midnight storm rendezvous that brings the pair to the wild side. The perfect mix of fiddle and dobro alongside electric guitars and blazing drums makes sparks fly in the timeless story that shows just how strong young love can be.
“’Cause a girl like her on a night like this / Make a man wanna stay right where he is / There’s trouble in the way her green eyes are glowin’ / I’m holdin’ on tight, prayin’ and hopin’ / This truck battery dies / Or the road’s too muddy to drive / Wanna stay right here all night / If the good Lord’s willin’, that creek will risе,” sings Smith in the blood pumping anthem.
“Creek Will Rise” Is The Beginning Of His Next Chapter Of Music
“I’ve never been more excited for a song to come out,” explained Smith. “‘Creek Will Rise’ has already taken my live show to a new level and feels like the start of the next chapter of my music.”
Set in New Iberia, Louisiana and directed by Cooper Smith — Conner’s brother and creative director — the new track’s accompanying music video brings “Creek Will Rise” to life with backwoods energy as the singer/songwriter’s friends join him for a rowdy day packed with air-boating and crawfish boils.
“This music video is special to me because it is an adventure that my best friend, my brother, and I took down in Louisiana,” continued Smith. “It brings the energy of the song to life visually and I’m so happy to have that memory captured as the video for this song.”
