Joined by rising talent Brock Phillips — signed to Smith’s own label, Local Hay Records — the stripped-down, unplugged run will reimagine Smith’s chart-topping hits in an intimate acoustic setting, offering fans a rare and powerful new way to experience his music.
Kicking off Oct. 3 in Fort St. John, BC, and wrapping up on Dec. 14 in Belleville, Ont., the tour will reach cities from coast to coast, including Victoria, Calgary, Saskatoon, Winnipeg, Halifax, Montreal and Ottawa.
“I’ve spent a lot of time on loud stages with big production, and I love that energy,” says Smith. “But there’s something special about taking it all back to the songs, the stories, and the raw connection that happens when it’s just you, your long-time band, and the audience. I’ve never done a full acoustic tour before - this feels like the perfect time, and I’m excited to bring this experience across Canada.”
With a career that bridges genres and generations, Smith continues to break boundaries and connect with fans across the country. Dallas Smith and His Band (Unplugged) offers a fresh and powerful new way to experience the music that’s made him one of Canada’s most celebrated and respected voices.
