I just released two live singles from Café Solo songwriter series sessions in Denton, TX. Thanks for listening!
Cameron Smith, a folksinger and songwriter from Fort Worth, TX, emerges from the Unexpected City, birthplace of songwriting legends like Smith’s hero Townes Van Zandt, Roger Miller, T Bone Burnett, and more.
An artful storyteller forged in the crucible of the DIY punk scene, Smith grew up writing and touring the country as a teenager with bands making heavier music before maturing into his own distinctive voice and sound as a folk country singer-songwriter.
His timeless melodies, infused with a southern gothic spirit, intricately weave tales of love, loss, and legacy, resonating with echoes of classic folk writers such as Fred Neil, John Prine, and Guy Clark, as well as alt artists like Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy, Magnolia Electric Co., Silver Jews, and Smog.
Smith has charmed hearts across the land on his relentless odyssey, leaving a trail of notable achievements, including standout showcases at 2023's AmericanaFest in Nashville and Folk Alliance International 2024 in Kansas City. In 2022, he was awarded Best Folk artist by Fort Worth Weekly and its readership. Now, Smith is poised for a forthcoming revelation: his debut studio full-length album, Gold & Rust, looms on the horizon, destined to carve indelible marks upon eager souls, and showcase Smith’s evolution as a torchbearer, carrying on in a tried and true tradition of Texas troubadour songwriters.
