Landon Smith, one of Nashville’s most exciting emerging singer-songwriters, is heading to the UK for the first time this month, making his UK debut with performances at the new State Fayre festival at Hylands Park, Chelmsford on June 26, as well as a headline show at The Old Blue Last in London on June 24.
At just 22 years old, Smith has quickly built a reputation for his raw, emotionally charged songwriting and powerful live performances, blending Americana, country storytelling, and rock ‘n’ roll energy into a sound that feels both timeless and distinctly modern. Having already amassed tens of millions of streams and shared stages with artists including Whiskey Myers, 49 Winchester, Gavin Adcock, Uncle Lucius and Riley Green, he arrives in the UK as one of the most promising new voices emerging from Nashville.
Smith first gained traction while gigging locally during college, when his breakout single ‘If You Want Me Tonight‘ went viral, ultimately surpassing 14 million streams on Spotify. That momentum carried into fan favorites like ‘July 6th’ and ‘Taking off to Tennessee’, establishing him as one of Nashville’s most compelling emerging voices.
More recently, Smith has released his latest single, ‘Supertramp‘, via Lucille Records / MCA. Produced by GRAMMY® Award-winner Dave Cobb, the track builds on the momentum of his acclaimed debut EP Reckon So and previous single ‘Lavender‘, showcasing the restless spirit, sharp songwriting and gritty musicianship that have become hallmarks of his music.

ABOUT LANDON SMITH:
No matter how old you are or where you’re from, Landon Smith might just have a song for you. Landon delivers his stories with the raw grit, hard-earned experience, and the wise-beyond-his-years perspective of an old school troubadour, pulling no punches as he strums his guitar and sings as loudly as possible. At the same time, he connects with the coming-of-age generation through his lyrics of sleep deprived teenage hangouts, bleary-eyed college nights, and visions of what genuine connection looks like. The 22-year-old Nashville-based singer, songwriter, and guitarist serves up post-Millennial Americana spiked with dyed-in-the-wool country storytelling and surges of rock ‘n’ roll energy. Growing up forty-five minutes south of Atlanta in McDonough, GA, he played in bands throughout middle school and high school, and he gained his first recording experience on an iPad with Garage Band. Simultaneously, he obsessed over a myriad of favorite artists, listening to everyone from Mumford & Sons, The Lumineers, and Rainbow Kitten Surprise to Deftones and Jason Isbell. During college, he gigged locally solo. Around the same time his first single ‘If You Want Me Tonight’ reeled in north of 14 million Spotify streams, paving the way for ‘July 6th’ and ‘Taking off to Tennessee’. Between performing shows with Tyler Halverson and Uncle Lucius, he supported Gavin Adcock, Whiskey Myers, 49 Winchester and Kashus Culpepper on tour. Stacking up tens of millions of streams independently and attracting the likes of GRAMMY® Award-winning producer Dave Cobb [Brandi Carlile, Chris Stapleton] to his corner he strikes a deep chord on his 2025 debut EP Reckon So for Lucille Records, Cobb’s imprint under MCA. Now, with ‘Lavender’, Smith sharpens his signature blend of Americana, country storytelling, and rock-leaning intensity, offering a more vulnerable and introspective side of his artistry.
