Thursday: Enjoy Nostalgic Country Anthems Under the Raleigh Stars

There is nothing quite like shouting the lyrics to “Twenty-One” with a cold brew in hand to make you feel like a young Raleighite again. Country singer-songwriter Corey Smith is bringing his independent, tell-it-like-it-is sound back to the City of Oaks on Thursday, June 11, 2026. Famous for his raw storytelling and fiercely independent path across 11 albums, Smith is hitting the road to support his latest release, Suburban Drawl. Fans can expect an energetic mix of brand-new tracks like “Cellophane” alongside the nostalgic, beer-raising anthems that made him a Southeast legend.

The outdoor performance goes down rain or shine at Bowstring Pizza and Brewyard. Grab a slice of pizza, secure your spot in the yard, and get ready for a giant backyard sing-along.

📍 Bowstring – 1930 Wake Forest Road, Raleigh, NC 27608
