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. The release sets the tone for a steady stream of new music arriving throughout 2026.
