Payton Smith Revisits "Camouflage Town" With Jameson Rodgers
Payton Smith released a reimagined version of his single "Camouflage Town," featuring Jameson Rodgers on December 13, 2024. This collaboration brings together two rising stars in country music, with Rodgers joining Smith on a track that pays homage to small-town America.
The original version of "Camouflage Town" was released on November 15, 2024, as a solo track by Smith, with Jameson contributing as a composer. The song resonated with Smith's own upbringing in Houma, Louisiana, with the artist describing the track as "a reflection of so many towns in rural America" and an "anthem for anyone who is proud of where they are from".
Payton Smith, a 24-year-old singer-songwriter and self-taught guitarist, has been making waves in the country music scene since 2019. His debut single "Like I Knew You Would" amassed over 50 million streams, showcasing his ability to connect with audiences through his music. Smith's talent extends beyond vocals, as he composed and played every string instrument on his debut project.
Smith's musical journey began at age 10 when he received his first guitar from his father. By 14, he was already impressing industry professionals, leading to his family's relocation to Nashville to pursue his music career. His unique blend of 90s country, classic rock, and New Orleans influences has set him apart in the country music landscape.
In 2024, Smith released his EP "Up From Here" in April, continuing to build on his success. He completed his headlining "Up From Here Tour" and supported various artists throughout the year, including Lee Brice, Mitchell Tenpenny, and Conner Smith. Smith also joined Lily Rose as support on her "Runnin' Outta Time" tour in the fall.
