Conner Smith: Inside the Mind of a Country Artist

In this episode, Conner sits down to talk about his bromance-turned-tour with Dylan Marlowe, and how a few hangouts turned into the “Did We Just Become Best Friends?” Tour. He breaks down their creative chemistry, trading demos and good vibes like it’s second nature. We dive into everything from his favorite boots (shoutout Tecovas), to a hilarious prank involving Dylan’s phone contacts. Conner also lets us in on the new frontier of AI songwriting, his take on Post Malone’s country turn, and the magic of beer-fueled creativity at songwriting retreats. You’ll also hear about his Little League World Series hero moment, why he hates Alabama, and what song he’d take with him to the grave. Chapters: (0:00) - Welcome Conner Smith! (3:01) - Navigating the Nashville Music Scene (6:40) - Give 'Em the Boot Presented by TECOVAS (8:41) - Songwriting with AI (16:05) - Beer Thoughts Presented by OUTLAW LIGHT (24:04) - The Little League World Series Experience (28:22) - From Baseball to Music (30:01) - Discovering Talent and Opportunity (31:45) - Finding My Voice (33:36) - Faith and Mental Health (37:30) - Cut That Song Presented by CASE KNIVES (40:53) - Future of Country Music (45:33) - Evolution of Country Music (49:11) - Personal Milestones in Music (51:08) - Building a Sustainable Career Shop Like a Farmer merch at https://shop.agamericamedia.com/ Follow along: IG: https://www.instagram.com/likeafarmerpodcast/ FB: https://facebook.com/likeafarmer TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@likeafarmerpodcast Twitter: https://twitter.com/likeafarmer_  About Like A Farmer: Like a Farmer is a podcast and video series that spotlights accomplished individuals from diverse industries and their inspiring stories of overcoming adversity and achieving success.
