Thanks for joining us for Homegrown Music Month. Tune in to 91.7 KXT today to hear Cameron Smith’s music. And check back tomorrow for a little something spooky….
From: Fort Worth
Goes well with: Jesse Welles, John Prine
Why we picked them: Fifth-generation Texan on his father’s side, Smith is a testament to the roots of Fort Worth folk music—evolving from his start as a punk rock band leader (War Party / Sur Duda) into an Americana songwriter in his latest project Cameron Smith & the Slings. The band’s debut concept album, Gold & Rust ,is full of earthy tones, digging into the soul and weighing the deficit between life and death. HIs music has a healing quality that can put a listener’s heart at ease and invoke nostalgia of a simpler life.
Fun fact: Smith is the co-founder of Dreamy Life Records, a label that has helped release over 80 local albums/EPs—majorly contributing to the fabric of the North Texas indie community.
