Corey Smith brings his 21-years-on-the-road tour back to the Texas Club

The Georgia songwriter returns to Donmoor Avenue on March 26, 2027, his first Baton Rouge date since August 2024.

Some country acts play Baton Rouge once on the way up. Corey Smith keeps coming back to the same room on North Donmoor Avenue, and his next visit is a celebration.

Corey Smith plays the Texas Club on Friday, March 26, 2027. The show starts at 9 p.m., and the club's own listing has doors at 7:30. Tickets run $30.95 to $49.50 through Ticketmaster. The date was announced Oct. 20 as part of the "21 After 21 Tour: Celebrating 21 Years On The Road."

It will be his first Baton Rouge show since Aug. 16, 2024, also at the Texas Club. That's a gap of about two and a half years, which is long for an artist who has treated this town as a regular stop.

The tour name explains the occasion. Smith is a songwriter from Jefferson, Georgia, a few miles from Athens. His catalog runs to 11 albums, among them *The Broken Record* and *While the Gettin' Is Good*, a 2015 record made with producer Keith Stegall for Sugar Hill. He writes about suburban Southern life more often than trucks and bonfires. His most recent full-length, *Suburban Drawl*, was produced by Erik Dylan.

What has changed since 2024? Venue notices from last year say Smith stepped back from touring to undergo eye surgery, and some shows were rescheduled. A tour billed as a 21-year celebration reads, in that light, as a statement that he's back on the road for good. Streaming listings also show a new single in January 2026, "Through Glass Eyes."

A tour billed as a 21-year celebration reads as a statement that he's back on the road for good.

The Texas Club is the right place for that kind of night. It's a roughly 1,000-capacity country room, and its own site lists Garth Brooks, George Strait, Luke Bryan, Jason Aldean and Chris Stapleton among the acts who have played there.

Expect the set to cover the whole 21 years. A celebration tour will lean on the songs people have carried around for years, with room for whatever he's written since the break.

Tickets are on Ticketmaster now. Doors at 7:30, Corey at 9. Pick a Friday in March and plan to stay late.
