New York, NY (January 19, 2018) – Hit maker Granger Smith brought the YEE YEE Nation brand of country to the city last night during an electrifying show at New York City’s famed Irving Plaza, marking both the launch of his 2018 DON’T TREAD ON ME TOUR and his New York City full band debut show. Playing to a packed house, Smith performed a charged set of songs from his new album When The Good Guys Win, mixed with beloved tracks from previous records.  This headlining tour will take him to every corner of the US and bookends with a run of shows in Canada in April.
