Granger Smith Biography

The country music artist Granger Smith was born in 1979 in Dallas, Texas. Known by both his birth name and also Earl Dibbles Jr., Smith began playing guitar as a teenager with little intention of pursuing a career as a musician; self-taught, he’d planned to learn to play for fun. Very quickly, his talent for music became evident, and after graduating from high school, Granger moved to Nashville to pursue a career as a songwriter.

Smith began writing and recording his own music, and between 1998 and 2013 he recorded six self-released albums: Waiting on Forever (1998), Memory Rd. (2004), Pockets of Pesos (2005), Livin’ Like a Lonestar (2006), Don’t Listen to the Radio (2009), Poets & Prisoners (2011), and Dirt Road Driveway (2013.) It was the album Dirt Road Driveway that garnered Smith significant attention from record labels, when the album rose into the top twenty on the country charts and into the top forty on the mainstream charts. The single “Backroad Song” became Granger’s breakthrough, rising into the top ten on multiple charts and earning Smith a record deal with Wheelhouse Records.

Since signing with Wheelhouse, Granger Smith has released his major-label debut, Remington. The album rose into the top five on the country music charts upon its release in March of 2016, and into the top twenty on the mainstream charts in the United States. Remington features the song “If the Boot Fits,” which is currently climbing up the charts.
