Now boasting more than 5.5 MILLION total monthly Spotify listeners and a rapidly increasing following around the world, Barber recently wrapped his epic, near completely-sold out North American TILL I RETURN TOUR– his biggest headline run thus far – which included performances at high-profile festivals such as Lollapalooza where Barber’s set garnered attention from Rolling Stone hailing, “The country singer-songwriter delivers from the heart,” Stagecoach, and Railbird Festival. 

Earlier this year saw the premiere of Barber’s latest single, “Streetlight”, and the tender “S.O.B.”  produced by Eddie Spear (Zach Bryan, Brandi Carlile, Billie Eilish). The Southern Missouri-raised talent kicked off the new year with Live EP 001, showcasing a deeply personal onstage approach that prompted Whiskey Riff to rave, “Sam Barber’s fans show they are on another level with this EP. You can hear the crowd roaring in the background throughout each song on his setlist. From the first strums of a guitar opening each song, you can hear the audience members cheering wildly, and it just becomes louder once Barber starts to sing. I’m not going to lie…it’s honestly impressive.”

Named Billboard's October 2023 Rookie of the Month, Barber made a spectacular arrival last fall with his debut EP, Million Eyes, featuring the RIAA PLATINUM-certified hit, “Straight and Narrow,” now with over 350 MILLION global streams to date. The EP also includes deeply moving tracks such as “Dancing In The Sky” and “All That I Have,” with the latter declared one of Billboard’s “7 Must-Hear New Country Songs,” writing, “Barber’s amiable vocal, rippling acoustic guitar and a gentle tone are hallmarks of this hearty, romantic ballad.”

ABOUT SAM BARBER:
Sam Barber was raised on a farm in a small town in Southeast Missouri surrounded by a supportive family and an abundance of friends. Most of his childhood was devoted to athletics where he learned many lessons such as the importance of a team, practice, discipline, respect and hard work. When he was 16, Barber picked up his great grandfather's Gibson, out of tune with only five strings, and fell in love with the art of singing and writing songs. He began releasing original music in 2021, including “Straight and Narrow,” a bedroom recording of a song he’d written when he was just 16. A powerful acoustic track about overcoming life’s countless hurdles, “Straight and Narrow” proved an RIAA PLATINUM-certified sensation, reaching #1 on viral charts worldwide while landing on such multi-format Billboard charts as “Hot Rock Songs,” “Hot Rock & Alternative Songs,” and “Hot Country Songs.”
