Smithfield Is Fine Like Wine on New Single “When You’re Gone” – Listen!

Audio Leave a comment

The wonderful part about Country Duo, Smithfield is that they are comprised of both a male and female. There is something so powerful about having both a male and female voice in a song. There’s chemistry and harmony and that offers a lot more than the many solo artists out there right now.

Smithfield’s vocals blend smoothly and flow over each other like butter on warm biscuits. Their new single “When You’re Gone” is no exception.

Check out the lyrics below and listen to the new single!

You’re as fine as the wine that you’ve been sipping on
When your hair’s down and you’re dancing around to every song
I love what you do when you’ve had too many
Hard to believe that you’re coming home with me
This drink ain’t the only thing that’s coming on strong
You get me going when you’re gone
Girl, you get me going when you’re gone

It’s been a few years since a new album from Thompson Square, and they promise they are working on their best music yet! We got a taste of what’s to come with a song called “Make It Rain.” Take a listen below!

CMT hosted as the event’s media partner, in collaboration with GLAAD as a nonprofit partner; local sponsors included Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams, Wade Weissmann Architecture, and Relief Skin Center.
Grammy-nominated and Dove Award winning artist Ty Herndon created this event, when his 20th anniversary fan-club party turned into a gathering in support of Nashville’s at-risk youth. The driving force behind the benefit is Herndon’s desire to foster positive cultural change, encourage Nashville’s youth to live to their fullest potential, and to celebrate tolerance, love and acceptance for everyone.

About the Concert for Love and Acceptance: In November of 2014, Ty Herndon became the first major male country artist to publicly come out as gay. Shortly after, he made history when he hosted this first-of-its-kind event, The Concert for Love & Acceptance. The inaugural event received national attention from Boston Globe, Rolling Stone, Entertainment Tonight, People Magazine and more. A philanthropist at heart, Herndon has also donated his time to organizations such as the Trevor Project, Make A Wish, St. Jude, GLAAD, HRC and Feed the Children.     
About the Oasis Center: The Oasis Center provides care and support for youth who are experiencing hardship with alcohol, drugs, etc. The organization was built to help at-risk youths navigate the tricky waters of their teenage years by giving them access to a wide range of programs that are designed to empower and make them aware of their full potential.

Ty Herndon’s second annual 2017 Concert for Love and Acceptance brought together a coalition of musicians and celebrities, for a night filled with incredible entertainment in support of Nashville’s at-risk youth. The proceeds of the event went directly to benefit Nashville’s own Oasis Center.
