Will You Keep Going or Walk Away From Your Dream? | with Jenn Fielder of SmithField (Recording Artist) | Ep 53

They say Nashville is a 10-year town... but is it? Jenn and her bandmate Trey (together known as the musical duo SmithField) had to make some tough decisions as the entire music industry began completely shutting down during the early pandemic… and this is their story.

There's no lead singer in SmithField. No main songwriter, either. Instead, Jenn and Trey split those duties equally, writing harmony-filled songs that explore love, loss, and life from both sides of a relationship. The two moved to Nashville in 2012, eager to carry the torch for country music's rich legacy of male-female duets into the 21st century. It was in Nashville, inspired by the legendary duos of the past, that SmithField fine-tuned their own brand of platonic chemistry.

Songs like "Hey Whiskey" and "If It Ain't You" rewarded the independent duo with major label-sized success, including multiple appearances at the Grand Ole Opry, heavy airplay on satellite radio, 40M digital streams, acclaim from Rolling Stone, and sharing the stage with fellow genre-bending country artists like Brothers Osborne, Scotty McCreery, Old Dominion, and many others.
