After 24 years touring as an award-winning, platinum-selling, country music singer-
songwriter, Granger Smith chose to leave the music business to pursue ministry. Honoring his late son, River, his first book, Like A River: Finding the Faith and Strength to Move Forward After Loss and Heartache, became a New York Times bestseller. His follow up, Up Toward the Light, is a beautiful children’s book that draws inspiration from a story detailed in Like a River, where Smith details his own conversation with a tree.

Compelled by the call to ministry, Smith serves his local church as one of the pastors, and he continues work on a master’s degree at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. Smith is a highly sought-after speaker, actor, author, and host of the nationally syndicated iHeartRadio show After Midnite with Granger Smith as well as The Granger Smith Podcast, where he discusses matters of faith, family, music, and the outdoors while spreading messages of Integrity, honor, truth, and restoration grounded in a Christian worldview. Granger and his family also share their everyday lives on the popular weekly YouTube series called The Smiths.

Over the course of his groundbreaking music career, Granger amassed a massive and rabid audience known as Yee Yee Nation, built through heavy touring and grassroots fan engagement. He released ten studio albums, two live album, and two EPs. Granger charted over eight singles
on the Billboard country charts, including the number one hit “Backroad Song,” and garnered numerous accolades for writing, producing, publishing, and performing. 

Granger and his wife, Amber, live on a little farm in central Texas with their children, London, Lincoln, and Maverick.
