About Franklin Smith & The Legends of Country Music Show
A Storyteller Keeping Country’s Legacy Alive
Franklin Smith is an Americana and classic country performer whose warm voice, storytelling, and authentic stage presence have touched audiences across the country. With decades of musical passion, Franklin has made it his mission to bring the songs and stories of legendary country artists to life celebrating the soundtracks that defined generations.
Through his signature performance, Legends of Country Music, Franklin takes audiences on a nostalgic 60-minute journey through five decades of unforgettable hits performing three songs each from artists of the 1960s, 70s, 80s, 90s, and 2000s. From Johnny Cash to George Strait, his show captures the timeless soul of country music and the shared memories that come with it.
The Mission
Franklin has designed a tour route connecting communities across multiple states, making it easy to bring Legends of Country Music to your venue across Arizona and beyond revisiting them quarterly with each new HOPEiDONT book release and featuring new artists for each decade of the Legends show. For Franklin, it’s not just about the music, it’s about sharing hope, unity, and joy through experiences that remind people of where they’ve been and inspire them for where they’re going.
Music with Meaning — The Heart Behind HOPEiDONT
Franklin’s performances are more than entertainment, they carry a message of faith, hope, and community. Through his HOPEiDONT book series and outreach, he has inspired countless individuals to find light through their own stories.
The Legends of Country Music tour integrates this same mission. Each show includes 50 complimentary copies of his book HOPEiDONT gifted to the host community to keep, share, or donate to local organizations. This creates a meaningful bridge between the music and the message something audiences can carry long after the performance ends.
Whether it’s a themed dinner, a family event, or a regular community program, Franklin’s show transforms an ordinary day into an extraordinary experience that uplifts both heart and spirit.
A Multi-Generational Experience
Legends of Country Music is designed for retirement communities, senior living centers, and family events that want to create connection across generations.
Franklin’s audience often includes residents, visiting family members, and even children, all united by the joy of classic country songs. The show offers a perfect blend of nostalgia and new inspiration, making it a highlight of every community calendar.

Music has a way of taking us back to moments that matter most the people we love, the places we’ve been, and the stories that shaped us. Through Legends of Country Music and HOPEiDONT, I want to bring that feeling to every community I visit. It’s not just a show, it’s a shared memory in the making.
