Platinum-selling country star and 604 Records recording artist Dallas Smith has announced his 2017 Side Effects Tour, presented by Old Camp Whiskey, with a stop in Abbotsford.

The tour kicks off in in Halifax on Oct. 12 and makes stops in 26 cities across the country, including the wrap-up concert on Nov. 18 at Abbotsford Centre.

The tour will see special guests Lauren Alaina, James Barker Band, Cold Creek County, Michael Ray and The Cadillac Three join Smith for select dates.

The Side Effects Tour announcement comes on the heels of Smith’s fourth No. 1 single on Canadian country radio with Sky Stays This Blue, a first for a Canadian male country artist.

Smith became the first Canadian artist in both the Nielsen BDS and Mediabase era to have three consecutive No. 1 singles and the first Canadian country artist to have three No. 1 singles from the same album (Side Effects).

That album, released one year ago and produced by studio ace and long-time collaborator Joey Moi (Florida Georgia Line), features 12 tracks, including the album’s first No. 1 single, Autograph (the only No. 1 track from a Canadian country artist in 2016), and the No. 1 hit Side Effects.

The album showcases Smith’s incredible artistry and confirms he’s in his own lane, earning critical acclaim and commercial success. He also lit up the stage during the 2017 Juno Awards national broadcast in Ottawa earlier this year.

The “side effects” of Smith’s performance included a 19 per cent increase in streams of the single as well as a 137 per cent increase in sales of the track, according to Nielsen.

Smith is currently nominated for four Canadian Country Music Association Awards, including Male Artist of the Year, Single of the Year, Album of the Year and the Apple Music Fans’ Choice Award.
