His autoharp was featured on a recording with Prairie Oyster that won the Canadian Country Music Assn. Song of the Year as did “26 Cents” by The Wilkinsons, which was also nominated in 2000 for a Country Song of the Year Grammy. McEntire, Tillis, Mattea, and Lynn have all been CMA Female Vocalist at one time or other. 　　He was included on the Autoharp Legacy anthology CD, has performed internationally, and a clip from one of his videos was recently featured in an exhibit at the Musical Instrument Museum in Phoenix. You can subscribe to his YouTube channel “autoharp-music“. 　　In June of 2016, he was named to the Autoharp Hall of Fame. 　　The autoharp used on some of the recordings uses a revolutionary chord bar set up which enables altered chords and progressions not possible on a conventional instrument. 　　As a songwriter, Will has had success several times on the country charts with cuts by John Anderson, Mark Chesnutt, Wade Hayes, The Remains, Dude Mowery, Shelby Lynne, Shawn Camp (2014+2015 Grammy Award Winner/2016 IBMA Top Male Vocalist), and others. Will made contributions as songwriter and instrumentalist to the Shawn’s CD titled 1994 , which ironically came out in 2010 on Warner Reprise. 　　A veteran autoharp player/teacher, Will Smith has performed, repped, and given workshops over a wide area including: 　　Mount Laurel Autoharp Gathering (MLAG) – PA 　　Ozark Autoharp Jamboree – AR 　　Sore Fingers SS Fall Weekend – Kingham, UK 　　Chattanooga Dulcimer Festival – TN 　　Augusta Heritage Series at Davis-Elkins College – WV 　　Suwannee Dulcimer Festival – FL 　　Memphis Dulcimer Festival – TN 　　California Summer Solstice Gathering – CA 　　Cranberry Autoharp and Dulcimer Gathering – NY 　　Stringalong Weekend – WI 　　Folk Alliance Convention – IL 　　Cosby Dulcimer Festival – TN 　　Walnut Valley Autoharp Junction – KS
