Norther, which came out last year on Thirty Tigers/Geronimo West Records is the Austin, TX band’s first album in five years and has proven to be well worth the wait with it being hugely well received by fans and critics alike.
The 13-song collection features great songwriting, passionate performances, thought-provoking narratives, and Smith’s arresting vocals backed by an exceptional band in the Saints, who effortlessly traverse rock, country, folk and Americana. Norther has received high praise from the press. Read an in-depth feature on the album in Rolling Stone.
Last year the band made their Grand Ole Opry debut before and continuing their momentous rise, Shane Smith & the Saints also made their US network television debut on CBS Saturday Morning with performances of ‘It’s Been A While’, ‘The Greys Between’ and the hit single ‘All I See Is You’, which was featured in season 4 of the TV series Yellowstone and has garnered a massive 75million streams to date.
With three independent albums under their belt and a constant tour schedule, Shane Smith & The Saints built their career with bricks and mortar. They abide by a blue-collar work ethic, maintaining a high level of integrity, delivering a fiery live performance, and making lasting connections with a fanbase that is rapidly expanding.
