Busch Light and Award-Winning Country Artist Nate Smith Team Up for Busch Country: One Night Only Concert Series

Busch Light is setting the country music “World on Fire” by bringing back its unforgettable concert series, Busch Country: One Night Only with award-winning artist Nate Smith, where the only way in is to WIN. 

Nate Smith and Busch Light will bring two private performances to Cleveland, OH (May 22) and Omaha, NE (September 17), bringing fans closer than ever to their favorite music.   

For devoted country fans, this is a rare chance to experience the 2024 ACM New Male Artist of the Year, Billboard’s 2024 Rookie of the Year, and Amazon’s 2024 Breakthrough Country Artist. Nate Smith, known for his signature blend of country grit, backwoods soul, and smooth vocals, will light up the stage for two unforgettable nights. The intimate nature of the private shows will bring fans closer than ever to the music they love, making each performance a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience. 

“Busch Country: One Night Only is back for its fourth year, and with Nate Smith taking the stage, we have no doubt he’ll deliver two shows that Busch Light and country music fans could only dream of!” said Krystyn Stowe, Head of Marketing Busch Family & Natural Family at Anheuser-Busch. “And this year the excitement doesn’t stop at the live shows—CMT is bringing this unique performance to the screen with a special episode for those who can’t join us in person.” 

For the first time ever, CMT will be capturing electrifying moments of Busch Country: One Night Only during the Cleveland show for an engaging episode of CMT Live. From on-stage energy to front-row fandom, this special will dive deep into the soul of country music through Nate Smith’s powerful performance. 

For Busch Light, honoring country music is nothing new. From intimate ‘One Night Only’ performances with top country music artists like Riley Green, as well as Jordan Davis in partnership with Professional Bull Riders (PBR), to the first ever Busch Light Summer Music Series coming to NASCAR races throughout the country this summer with headliners like Zac Brown Band, ERNEST and Nate Smith, the brand has long been committed to bringing unforgettable experiences to country music fans through activations at country festivals, concerts and live music events. 

Additionally, through the brand’s Busch Country platform, Busch Light supports a wide roster of both established country artists and rising stars, including Riley Green, Jordan Davis, Matt Stell and Priscilla Block, along with Nate Smith.    

To ensure that these shows remain exclusive, the venue and show time will only be revealed to winners. 

From now until May 4, Cleveland fans can enter for a chance to win two tickets to the intimate performance at busch.com/onenightonlynatesmith.* Omaha fans can enter for a chance to win starting July 14 to August 31.  

For fans that can’t attend Busch Country: One Night Only, Nate Smith’s performance will be available to stream starting on July 30 on Paramount+ and across CMT socials.

ABOUT NATE SMITH 

Bursting onto the scene a few short years ago, country vocal powerhouse Nate Smith has accumulated over 2.2 billion career streams, scored three multi-week No. 1 records (“Whiskey on You,” “World on Fire” and “Bulletproof”), garnered multiple gold and platinum records, sold-out shows across the US and received numerous nominations for best new artist from the CMA Awards, ACM Awards, CMT Awards, iHeart Radio Awards and so many more. Last year, Smith received the award for ACM New Male Artist of the Year, Billboard’s Rookie of the Year and Amazon’s Breakthrough Country Artist. 

Since making it to Nashville, the singer’s “powerhouse tenor” has become “perhaps country music’s fastest-rising beloved voice” (The Tennessean). He’s made a huge splash with songs such as his 3X platinum certified multi-week No. 1 hit “Whiskey On You,” record breaking ten week No. 1 platinum certified “World On Fire” and platinum certified No. 1 multi-week hit “Bulletproof.” “Bulletproof” garnered Smith his third consecutive multi-week No. 1 at Mediabase/Country Aircheck and marked him as the first artist in R&R/Mediabase history to start their career with three consecutive multi-week No. 1s. Both “Whiskey On You” and “World On Fire” were featured on Smith’s self-titled certified gold debut album while “Bulletproof” is featured on his sophomore album California Gold. 

The ACM Award winner spent the last summer on Morgan Wallen’s major stadium tour with and has toured alongside Thomas Rhett and Cole Swindell as well as headlined dates all through 2024. He will spend this summer touring with Jason Aldean on his Full Throttle Tour. Nate is managed by Kevin “Chief” Zaruk and Simon Tikhman with The Core Entertainment.
