Jordan Smart is a Kentucky based folk singer-songwriter known best for his raw delivery of heartfelt songs ranging from achingly personal to intensely topical and satirical protest. Inspired by the likes of John Prine, Malvina Reynolds, Phil Ochs, Barbara Dane, Woody Guthrie and many others, Smart crafts thoughtful lyrics heavily saturated with a deep sense of empathy and humanity. His viral anthem “Who Would Jesus Bomb?” has been dissected in University lecture halls, cited in books, covered at various protests and demonstrations around the world, and quickly racked up 10’s of millions of views/listens across social media and streaming platforms.
We look forward to welcoming Jordan Smart to Word of South 2026, where he will be performing on the Champions First Credit Union Stage at the AC Marriott Plaza.
