Gillian Smith is a South Central Pennsylvania native who grew up with music all around her. She began singing lessons at the young age of 8 and has been training ever since. While her music background is classically trained and in theatre work, Gillian found a new love for country music in 2019 and has made this her path for the future. While Gillian is heavily influenced by Carrie Underwood, Miranda Lambert, Marren Morris and Gabby Barrett you can hear her love of the classics, such as, Dolly, Reba, and Faith Hill in her soulful, soaring vocals.
Her debut single dropped in July of 2021, titled Guess You Couldn’t, which tells the somewhat humorous story of a past relationship while showcasing her vocal talents. Guess You Couldn’t was followed up with a double-single release on Black Friday 2021, which shares multiple sides to this country beauty while leaving you wanting more of her beautiful vocals. Gillian recorded three new songs at Nashvilles Sound Stage with Country Music Artist and Producer, Sam Grow, 2 of which you can find now on all streaming platforms with the third to be released this year with additional new music.
In her first few years as a country music artist, Gillian has surpassed any and all expectations. She was a double nominee by the Central Pennsylvania Music Hall of Fame Awards this year nominated for ‘Best Female Country Artist’ and ‘Best Female Vocalist’. She has opened for acts such as Chris Lane, Morgan Evans, Morgan Wade, Restless Road, Breland and more and has been invited back to play the main stage at the 2023 Barefoot Country Music Festival in Wildwood New Jersey as the days opening act for Blake Shelton and The Carolina Country Music Fest in Myrtle Beach as the days opening act for Brooks & Dunn.
