It's a small world for sure. Jennifer of SmithField is my cousin. Our fathers are first cousins, her grandma and mine were sisters. I remember years ago her singing at our family reunion in Tilden. I am super proud to see her and Trey cranking out great songs. Enjoy reading about the latest project from this Texas duo.
Powerhouse country duo SmithField, hailing from Waxahachie, Texas, releases their most personal single yet today, “Take Me To Texas.” With their genre-blending style, signature harmonies, and heartfelt lyrics, SmithField delivers an emotional love letter to the Lone Star State — a place that shaped not only their sound, but their story. From small-town stages to national acclaim, this new single is a full-circle moment that reconnects the duo with their Texas roots in the most powerful way. Listen here: sl.cmdshft.com/tmtt
Their perfectly blended voices continue to elevate one another, track after track — and “Take Me To Texas” is no exception. With soaring vocal ranges, emotional depth, and unmistakable chemistry, SmithField proves once again why they are carrying the torch for duos in country music, both past and present. The release comes on the heels of their announcement of a collaboration with Bongo Roasting Co. on a coffee-blend called "Coffee With Heart" - available now at their website: www.smithfieldmusic.com/shop. The name comes alongside their debut album, Country With Heart (Part One) which came out earlier this year . Part Two is due out later this year.
“We’ve tried to write a song about our home state for years but have never felt one was special enough to match how we feel about where we’re from until now. “Take Me To Texas” is a love letter to the roots that made Smithfield. Although it’s filled with all of the nostalgia and heart that we have for Texas, it’s for anyone who is proud of where they’re from.” said Jenn and Trey.
Don't bury me in Tennessee
Lay me underneath blue skies and blue bonnets
On the edge of town,
in a patch of ground By a stone with my grandma's name on it
When you lay me to rest
Won't you do it out west
My last request is Take me to Texas

About SmithField
Rooted in stunning harmonies and heartfelt songwriting, SmithField, is a modern country duo inspired by one of country music’s long-standing legacies: the male-female duet. SmithField hail from a small town in Texas, where they met at the age of 10, and their families go back 3 generations. From the start, SmithField's music was a unique mix of the contemporary and the classic, blurring the boundaries between country, pop, and rock. There's no lead singer in SmithField. No main songwriter, either. Instead, Jennifer and Trey split those duties equally, writing harmony-filled songs that explore love, loss, and life from both sides of a relationship. Since moving to Music City, their song “Hey Whiskey,” a Sirius XM radio ‘Highway Find’ in 2018 launched the duo into critically acclaimed artists that Rolling Stone, Billboard, People, and Forbes have all raved about and called the ‘Ones To Watch’ in country music. The band has independently amassed over 130 million global streams, have 40 Grand Ole Opry performances to date, and released their debut album Country with Heart (Part One) on May 24, 2024. Part Two of the album is slated for release in Fall 2025. SmithField has opened for some of country music’s biggest acts including Old Dominion, Kane Brown, Brothers Osborne, Dustin Lynch, Morgan Wallen, and country legends Joe Nichols, Josh Turner, Diamond Rio, and Sara Evans, to name a few.
