Grant Maloy Smith returns to ACMA in his beloved home state of Florida, bringing songs and stories from his most recent album MISSISSIPPI: AMERICAN STORIES, as well as from previous critically-acclaimed and Billboard top 5 charting albums like APPALACHIA: AMERICAN STORIES and DUST BOWL: AMERICAN STORIES.
Over the years his albums have spent 17 weeks on the Billboard charts, including eleven weeks in the Top 10 on the Americana/Folk album sales chart and #12 on the Country album sales chart. Grant has performed twice at Carnegie Hall and has won numerous awards, including two Grammy® certificates. In 2020, he was inducted into the Indie Music Hall of Fame in Hollywood. Critics have raved about his music, including:…
"lyrics and music as potent as Woody Guthrie ... A reminder of the darker period of Bob Dylan, and it’s that good, that memorable…”

Grant's song “Man Of Steel” was adopted by the National Veterans Foundation (www.nvf.org) as their official theme song. His single “I See You” was released with the support of Masterpiece Living, an organization dedicated to creating better lives for our elders. And a song he wrote, “I Reckon,” spent weeks on the MusicRow CountryBreakout charts. Grant's charming Christmas song “Fly Possum Fly” (featuring county singing sensation EmiSunshine) was both a radio single and a children’s book. Grant Maloy Smith is a member of the CMA (Country Music Association), AMA (Americana Music Association), TCMA (Texas Country Music Association), NARAS (The GRAMMYS®), and is the co-founder of the Indie Collaborative, a group of more than 2,000 independent musicians and music industry professionals.
