About Jordan Davis

Multi-Platinum, CMA award-winning entertainer Jordan Davis recently earned his sixth career #1 at country radio with his 2X platinum hit, “Next Thing You Know.” The record marked the Shreveport, Louisiana native’s third consecutive #1 off of his album, “Bluebird Days,” which also featured his Platinum-selling single, “What My World Spins Around” and the CMA and NSAI Song of the Year winning single, the 2X Platinum multi-week #1, “Buy Dirt.”

Having earned “comparisons to Keith Whitley” (The Tennessean) with music that will “knock the wind out of you” (Taste of Country), Davis has solidified himself as one of the industry’s top singer/songwriters. Awarded Best New Country Artist (2019) at the iHeartRadio Music Awards, he was named Billboard’s Top New Country Artist of 2018 and earned back-to-back ACM New Male Vocalist nominations. With more than 4 BILLION streams worldwide, Davis celebrated a breakthrough year in 2022-3. The CMA and iHeart Award-winning artist earned numerous nominations at the Billboard, AMA, and ACM awards – including his first nomination for ACM Male Vocalist of the Year-won CMA and NSAI Song of the Year and became one of the most in-demand hitmakers in the industry through a combination of new tracks and fan-favorites.

About Payton Smith
At just 24 years old, Louisiana native singer-songwriter and self-taught guitarist, Payton Smith, has a lot to celebrate. Smith began releasing music in 2019; quickly amassing over 50 million streams on his debut single, “Like I Knew You Would”. Known for not only high-energy guitar slinging and smooth vocals, the CMT 2021 Listen Up artist also composed and played every string instrument on each track of his debut project.

As Taste of Country noted his “raw talent, authenticity and strong work ethic are bound to bring him country music success for many, many years” as one of 2021’s Hottest Country Artists Under 25. Music Row called Smith the 2021 Next Big Thing, while “Like I Knew You Would” charted as the number 7 song of the year on Spotify’s Hot Country.

Payton Smith signed with Combustion Masters in late 2022, releasing “Missed The Boat” in early 2023, marking a new era of music, being produced by Combustion’s Chris Farren. Smith’s debut album, What Colors Your Wild, was released on March 19th, with playlisting features on Apple’s New In County, Spotify’s New Music Friday Country and Tidal’s Country Waves, Rising: Country and Amazon Music’s Breakthrough Country, gaining 3 million streams.

Payton recently completed his headlining Up From Here Tour in April with support from Dipper and Cole Goodwin. Smith is also on the road supporting Lee Brice, Mitchell Tenpenny, Conner Smith, and more this year and will be joining Lily Rose as support on her Runnin’ Outta Time tour this fall. Payton’s newest EP, Up From Here, was released in April 2024 and his current single “Hold That Thought” is available now on all streaming platforms.
