Every year, only <em>once<\/em> per year, Chicago&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>US99.5<\/strong> presents three of country music&#8217;s current rising stars in an exclusive event that they have named\u00a0<em><strong>Smokin&#8217; New Country<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>This year, the concert took place\u00a0at <strong>Bub City<\/strong> on January 26, 2016. Smokin&#8217; New Country is a songwriter&#8217;s round style\u00a0concert, where the three artists &#8211; this year featured\u00a0<strong>Chase Bryant, Canaan Smith, and Michael Ray <\/strong>&#8211;\u00a0sat on stage in chairs, sans full band, and performed a stripped-down acoustic\u00a0set. Each artist was set to perform three songs a piece, but in true country fashion, they rallied on stage to make the spontaneous decision of each adding a fourth song. Here are a few highlights from the night!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>Chase Bryant<\/strong> made sure to give credit where credit is due when he referenced the first time he visited the US99.5 studio, and he played\u00a0<em>&#8220;Take It On Back&#8221;<\/em>.\u00a0He said he knew that after playing it for Jeff, that it would be his first single, and he will never forget that moment.\u00a0Jeff Kapugi (of US99.5) is a revered name in the country music industry, as he is responsible for recognizing raw talent and allowing it to permeate\u00a0our ears via US99.5 radio. &#8220;Take It On Back&#8221;, a song that Chase Bryant explained was written when he was experiencing defeat\u00a0as a songwriter, also became Chase&#8217;s\u00a0first song to hit <em>number one<\/em> on the charts! To all of you struggling songwriters\/musicians, how&#8217;s that for some motivation to\u00a0never give up?\u00a0Watch this\u00a0exclusive clip of Bryant&#8217;s current single, &#8220;Little Bit of You&#8221; from the Smokin&#8217; New Country event.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-video\" lang=\"en\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\" style=\"text-align: center\">We sure are loving a <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/LittleBitOfYou?src=hash\">#LittleBitOfYou<\/a> right now, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/chasebryant\">@chasebryant<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BubCityChi\">@BubCityChi<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/US995\">@US995<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/CMchat?src=hash\">#CMchat<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/WVO4C0G8ak\">pic.twitter.com\/WVO4C0G8ak<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\u2014 Tiera Joy \u2728 (@TieraBolt) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TieraBolt\/status\/692167001163337729\">January 27, 2016<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Mercury Records recording artist, <strong>Canaan Smith<\/strong>, certainly rocked the house with his current single, &#8220;Hole in a Bottle&#8221;, but the biggest <em>goosebumps<\/em> moment was when he sang his first number one hit, &#8220;Love You Like That&#8221; while\u00a0Chicago enthusiastically sang back every word. The gratitude seemed to overwhelm Canaan in the best way, as his one-hundred-watt smile lit up the room for the remainder of the evening. After the show concluded, Smith remained on stage until every fan in attendance had their chance to get an autograph or snap a selfie. Canaan Smith, alongside his stage-mate for this event, Michael Ray, will be opening for\u00a0country superstar Brantley Gilbert, on the\u00a0Blackout Tour this spring.

Among the songs performed, was &#8220;Run Away With You&#8221;, which Michael co-wrote and Big &amp; Rich recorded.
