(August
19, 2025) Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Cam has announced a
headline tour through the US, UK, and EU, dubbed The Slow Down Tour.
The US dates kick off on October 20th at The Gramercy Theatre in NY, making
stops in Chicago, Nashville, Washington D.C., Philadelphia, and San Francisco,
before wrapping on November 17th at Los Angeles’ El Rey Theatre. Cam’s hometown
show at Nashville's Ryman Auditorium will be a special night as it marks her
third time headlining the beloved venue, where she first took the stage as an
opener for Harry Styles. Pre-sales for The Slow Down Tour begin
Wednesday, August 20th, with general on-sale starting this Friday, August 22nd,
at 10am local. Limited VIP packages will be available. Full tour routing is
included below. For tickets and more information, please visit: Camcountry.com.
About the tour Cam comments, “Alright sweet friends, I’m
traveling through the US and Europe to bring you this beautiful and raw album
along with the hits to dance and cry to. And as always there will be some belly
laughs in between because in my family, we heal by making a punchline out of
everything.”
Cam’s new full-length release, All Things Light, arrived
in July to widespread acclaim from Billboard, NPR, People,and
more. Grammy.com praised the album’s emotional
resonance, noting that “throughout every track, her positive light shines
through” while People hailed Cam’s unique artistry,
writing that she “bridges the gap between traditional and experimental
country, creating a timeless yet innovative sound all her own.” All
Things Light is available now on all streaming platforms. Cam
celebrated the album’s release with a performance on NBC’s TODAY - watch her
stunning performance of “Alchemy” HERE. Cam continued the celebration at The GRAMMY
Museum’s intimate 200-seat Clive Davis Theater in Los
Angeles earlier this month that featured a special performance, and a
discussion about her creative process, rising career, and more.
All Things Light was announced in June alongside “Turns
Out That I Am God,” a spellbinding opener paired with a
stunning James Mackel-directed video. The album also includes
previously released singles including “Alchemy,” which was hailed
by People as “magical” and “genre-bending,”
as well as her recent single “Everblue,” a
heavy-hearted stunner that Cam sums up as “peak sad girl.” Alongside the
album’s release, Cam shared two additional James Mackel directed (Doechii,
Tyler Childers, FKA Twigs) music videos for “Slow Down” and “Hallelujah”,
now streaming on Cam’s official YouTube channel HERE.
Born from the same creative wellspring that inspired five songs on Beyoncé’s
Cowboy Carter - a project that earned Cam a GRAMMY for Album
of the Year as one of its key songwriters - All Things
Light is a truly revelatory
offering and Cam’s most visionary work to date. At a time when
she desperately needed a guiding light in the dark, Cam lit her own way with a
wild journey inward. While dealing with the intense isolation of becoming a
mother in the early days of the pandemic, the Nashville-based artist started
writing songs as a means of finding solace, and soon unlocked an entirely new
level of depth in her lyrics. As her daughter Lucy grew older and began
asking questions about life and death, Cam felt called to dig
even deeper and create a body of work embedded with insights for Lucy to carry
with her through the years.
This year marks the 10 year anniversary of Cam’s major-label debut, Untamed,
via RCA Records. The album featured the 4x platinum hit single “Burning
House,” which earned Cam her first GRAMMY nomination for Best
Country Solo Performance and remains one of the best-selling country songs by a
female solo artist since its release.

(May
30, 2025) Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Cam releases “Alchemy,” her
highly anticipated new single and first solo release in four years. Listen HERE. (preferred
music platform) or below.
A stunning convergence of country, folk, and left-field pop, “Alchemy”
showcases Cam’s gift for distilling complex ideas into songs that hit with a
glorious ease. Produced by longtime collaborator Tyler Johnson (Harry
Styles, Miley Cyrus) and co-written by Cam, Johnson, Michael Uzowuru (Frank
Ocean, SZA), and Anders Mouridsen (Meghan Trainor), “Alchemy”
is a bright and joyous meditation on the cyclical nature of life, death, and
each stage in between.
Says Cam of the track, “I wanted to write something where we just
focused on melody, but it turned into a song about reflecting on what
we’re made of, where we’re coming from and where we’re going.”
Accompanying the release of the song is its music video, a stunning
one-take visual directed by James Mackel, who previously worked
with Doechii on the videos for “DENIAL IS A RIVER” and
“Anxiety.” Watch below:
“Alchemy” marks the latest entry in an acclaimed catalog that includes Cam’s
2015 major label debut Untamed, featuring the 3x platinum hit
single “Burning House,” which earned Cam her first
Grammy nomination for Best Country Solo Performance and remains one of the
best-selling country songs by a female solo artist since its release.
Prolific and adored, Cam’s voice resonates louder than ever before, most
recently contributing songwriting, production, and backing vocals to Beyoncé’s
genre-shattering album, COWBOY CARTER. Her significant involvement
on the album secured Cam her second Grammy nomination and first win as a
songwriter for Album Of The Year. Cam also recently featured on 070
Shake’s latest album, PETRICHOR, on the track “Never Let Us
Fade,” which she co-wrote.
A vivid storyteller, clever wordsmith, and committed visionary with an
anticipated new body of work on the way, fans have only just begun to scratch
the surface of Cam’s many facets.

ABOUT Diplo
Thomas Wesley Pentz, better known as
Diplo, is one of the most dynamic forces in music today. He is as much an
international brand as he is a musician/DJ/producer. He's proven himself to be
a ubiquitous cultural figure, consistently bridging high and low, mainstream
and underground, with remarkable tact and reverence.
In
2004, after throwing influential parties in South Philadelphia, Pentz cemented
himself as a full fledged artist through his debut album, "Florida"
which received praise within the underground community. Diplo worked with
M.I.A. on her mixtape, first and second albums, eventually creating the Grammy
nominated track "Paper Planes" in 2007, which hit No. 4 on the U.S.
Hot 100 Chart and has sold more than 3 million copies. Read More www.facebook.com/diplo

Featuring a cutting-edge mix of
Country, rock, R&B, and pop, Mercury Lane draws upon the
influence his family and small-town upbringing of the critically-acclaimed
rising star. The Southern Delaware native’s talent for songwriting is
undeniable, having written a song that was featured in a Super Bowl commercial

ABOUT Cam Cam
writes music to tell the truth, especially truths that help women understand
themselves. The proof of Cam’s eccentric candor is supported in the brazen,
bold song, “Diane,” the first release off her forthcoming sophomore
release. Never one to shy away from hard conversations and topics, the CMA
Awards-nominated artist brings to focus the realities of cheating in the
driving, tempo-rich song, offering a redemptive opportunity that unites women
rather than pit them against each other. And “Diane” made quite an impact,
holding a multi-week residency on Spotify’s Viral 50 USA chart, breaking into
the Top 15 on the iTunes U.S. Country chart and peaking at No.1 on the iTunes U.K.
Country chart.
In addition to performing the song on multiple
American television shows, “Diane” was expedited on BBC Radio 2’s A-List in the U.K. and has topped multiple best-of
lists including Best Songs (all-genre) of 2017 by NPR, No. 3 on the 25 Best
Country Songs of 2017 by Rolling Stone Country and No. 2 on
the Top 10 Country Songs of 2018 by Taste Of Country.

The momentum continues to build since the
release of Cam’s 2015 breakout debut album Untamed, which landed
at No. 2 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart with the year’s
best first-week album sales by a debut Country artist. UNTAMEDfeatures Cam’s first No. 1
Country single, “Burning House,” which garnered multiple CMA, Grammy, ACM, CMT
and American Music Awards nominations and remains the highest-selling single by
a female Country artist since 2015. Along with working on new music, Cam
co-wrote the song, “Palace” off Sam Smith’s
latest album, The Thrill of It All. The song has Cam contributing
background vocals and electric guitar to the track and was featured in the 2017
Holiday commercial for Apple.
This spring, Cam joined Smith on stage for
“Palace” during all four nights of his sold-out shows at London’s O2 Arena and went on to open for the international
superstar on the North American summer leg of his The Thrill of It All Tour.
Smith is among the impressive list of artists that Cam has shared the stage
with in the last couple years.
Others include a personal invite from Harry Styles at Nashville’s famed Ryman
Auditorium, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill on their blockbuster
Soul2Soul Tour, George Strait during
his 2017 residency at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Eric Church, Alicia Keys,
Smokey Robinson and others. Read

CAM CONFRONTS
"DIANE" IN HER POWERFUL NEW MUSIC VIDEO
(9
Feb 2018)
Acclaimed
Country singer-songwriter Cam has
released the video for "Diane", the first single off
her highly anticipated forthcoming sophomore album coming later this year via
Arista Nashville/RCA Records.
The
video was shot in Los Angeles, CA and directed by Daniel Carberry (Betty Who, Rise Against and more), who also
directed the video for Cam's breakout hit "Mayday" released in
2016.
The
stunning retro visuals take you through the journey of infidelity. Says the
singer, "It's the apology so many spouses deserve, but never get. The
other woman is coming forward to break the news to the wife about an affair,
respecting her enough to have that hard conversation, once she realized he was
married. And in true country fashion, I've set the whole raw story to upbeat
music, so you can dance while you process it all."

In
interview with People
Magazine Cam says that she took a lot of
care to make sure this difficult situation was carefully portrayed, even going
so far as to take acting lessons: “The
general theme of women speaking to women and being honest in a really difficult
situation that neither one of them chose. I wanted to make sure that a lot of
people that have been through this feel like this wasn’t sensationalized —
because this is a lot of people’s story. I’ve seen people in crowds now that
sing the sh-t out of this song; they’re owning all these lyrics. So I wanted to
get it right and make it raw and real and mean something. Actually, I took
acting lessons to make sure I didn’t mess that up!”
“[My]
response to Dolly Parton’s “Jolene.” It’s the apology so many spouses deserve,
but never get. The other woman is coming forward to break the news to the wife
about an affair, respecting her enough to have that hard conversation, once she
realized he was married. Because everyone should be able to decide their own
path in life, based on the truth. Women especially should do this for each
other, since our self-worth can still be so wrapped up in our partners. And in
true country fashion, I’ve set the whole raw story to upbeat music, so you can
dance while you process it all.”
A
GRAMMY winner as Producer of the Year, Jeff
Bhasker (Harry Styles, Ed Sheeran, Bruno Mars) and multiple-GRAMMY nominee
Tyler Johnson (Harry Styles, Sam Smith, Ed Sheeran) produced “Diane,”
in addition to co-writing the song with Cam. Bhasker and Johnson also produced
Cam’s widely acclaimed 2015 major-label debut, UNTAMED.
As
part of the excitement surrounding the single release, Cam performed “Diane”
and other songs as part of a 30-minute Facebook Livestream on October 31, with
the performance originating from an intimate music space in Sony Music
Nashville’s office in the Gulch area of downtown Nashville, near Music Row.
Among
other appearances in support of “Diane,” California-native Cam launched her
Best Coast Tour, headlining nine West Coast dates which began Nov 28, 2017. She
also opened selected shows on Tim McGraw & Faith Hill’s blockbuster
Soul2Soul
Tour
and for international star Harry Styles at his sold out Ryman Auditorium show
in Nashville, Cam also wrapped her opening slot on George Strait’s 2017 residency
tour at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, with shows on December 8 and 9.
“Diane” made a special appearance in Nashville at Girls Night Out with Cam! #crs2018 | Source Arista Nashville Facebook
This
week Cam has been attending the Country
Radio Seminar. She posted on Instagram: Here in Nashville, it’s Country Radio Seminar week (CRS) a big
convention for country music industry folks. Traditionally this was a male
dominated event with “big boy dinners” until 15 years or so ago when some women
at Sony decided to start their own, all-female event, inviting industry women
(and even women from other labels) and the group barely filled up a room. This
year the “Girls Night Out” event included
over 120 women. I had the pleasure of helping host this year- there was
financial advising specifically for women, make up & nail pampering
sessions, and Diane themed cocktails. Amongst all these good vibes, I had a
chance to address all these pioneers: thank them for making their mark in a
male dominated industry, and for every difficult step they made forward that
will benefit generations to come. This year especially, the gender-based
growing pains are front and center, and it’s a symptom of the fact that we are
finally here! There are new cultures to create because women are now an
integral part of the landscape. So, I handed out little yellow arrow pins to
remind us of the progress that we are responsible for. This kind of growth
doesn’t happen easily or overnight, so this little pin is a reminder to
celebrate how far we have raised ourselves up, and how much further we can go
together.

About Cam
California-born
singer/songwriter Cam (née Camaron
Ochs) emerged as one of the true breakthrough artists of the past two years,
achieving her first Platinum record
and first #1 country single with “Burning
House,” which earned her a GRAMMY® Award nomination for Best Country
Solo Performance. In fact, she was the only female country act to release a
song in 2015 and amass a million downloads by the end of the year.
The
success also sparked Cam to six
nominations for the 2016 Academy of
Country Music Awards (most-nominated female),
two nods for the American Country Countdown Awards and three nominations for
the CMT Music Awards (tied for most-nominated artist), two nominations for the
50th Annual CMA Awards, and one for the 2016 American Music Awards.
Her
Untamed album on Arista Nashville/RCA Records, which released December 11,
2015, debuted at #2 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart with the year’s
best first-week album sales by a debut country artist (chart dated Jan 2, 2016;
37,346 sales; #12 Billboard 200 debut).
UNTAMED
was met with widespread critical acclaim from The New York Times, Entertainment
Weekly, PEOPLE, Associated Press, and many others. Cam, who co-wrote each of
her 11 debut album tracks, has appeared on national TV programs including Good Morning America, Today, CBS This
Morning, The Voice, The Tonight Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, The Talk, The Ellen
DeGeneres Show, LIVE with Kelly, The Grammys, ACM Awards, and The 10th ACM

The Apple Music Festival 2015 in
London, Stagecoach, SXSW, ACM Lifting Lives Party for a Cause, CMA Music
Festival, the Grand Ole Opry, and the C2C

also highlighted Cam's prolific songwriting. Cam co-wrote the song "Palace"
off Sam Smith's latest release, The
Thrill Of It All. The track, which includes Cam contributing background vocals
and electric guitar, was featured in the recent Holiday commercial for Apple.
Now
in 2018, Cam returns with a bold new single, "Diane," the lead song off her forthcoming Arista Nashville/RCA
Records sophomore album. Joining forces again with her "Burning
House" co-writers, "Diane" is a driving, tempo-rich track that
delivers a sonically refreshing tale of love, regret, and commiseration. Less
than a month after its release, the song was praised as one of the Best Songs
(all-genre) of 2017 by NPR and #3 on the 25 Best Country Songs of 2017 by
Rolling Stone Country and made a multi-week residency on Spotify's Viral 50 USA
Chart.
