Cameron Smith

Cameron Smith, a folksinger and songwriter from Fort Worth, TX, emerges from The Unexpected City, the birthplace of songwriting legends like Townes Van Zandt, Roger Miller, T Bone Burnett, and more.

An artful storyteller forged in the crucible of the DIY punk and hardcore scene, Smith grew up writing and touring the country with bands making heavier music before maturing into his own distinctive voice and sound.

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 groups like Magnolia Electric Co., and Silver Jews.

Having charmed hearts across the land on his relentless odyssey, leaving a trail of notable achievements, including being awarded Best Folk artist by Fort Worth Weekly and its readership in 2022, Smith is now poised for a forthcoming revelation. His debut studio full length album, Gold & Rust, looms on the horizon.

NPR's KXT 91.7FM writes of Smith's 2022 home-recorded album, “Through love and pain, Shine encapsulates a special and sacred moment in time. After a decade of leading rock bands, Smith’s solo career is just starting to blossom. The boundless nature of his creativity will surely produce uniquely thoughtful perspectives, entangled in captivating musical phrases. . . The lyrics of the album cast healing into the ether, as Smith draws upon his own memories that are universal to the human experience.”
