Corey Smith will be in Birmingham Friday night. He's touring to support his 10th album, While the Gettin' Is Good. It was released on Sugar Hill Records and is the first time that Corey Smith has turned over the reins to a true country music producer, Keith Stegall.

The result is Smith's most ambitious record yet, as well as a return on the investment made by the fans who have supported him since his first album in 2003.

"A lot of start-­‐up acts are using fan-­‐funded programs to finance their record. That's what my whole career has been: Kickstarter before Kickstarter. When my fans show up and buy a ticket and a t-­‐shirt, they're investing in what I'm doing," says Corey. "It's my responsibility to invest it wisely and give them the best album I can. That's what led me to While the Gettin' Is Good."

Doors open at 7p. Show starts at 8:00.
