WATCH SAM BARBER PERFORM “INDIGO,”

STRAIGHT AND NARROW,” & “BETTER YEAR” ON

CBS SATURDAY MORNING’S SATURDAY SESSIONS HERE

 

Acoustic guitar in hand, his voice quaked with stark emotion on powerful, passionate, and poignant renditions of staples such as his Billboard Hot 100 anthem “Indigo,” now 2X PLATINUM “Straight and Narrow,” and “Better Year”—which shined as a fan-favorite on Paramount’s Yellowstone. The Saturday Sessions set represents yet another major moment in a year of milestones for Barber.

Meeting overwhelming fan-demand for more shows, he has expanded his RESTLESS MIND WORLD TOUR 2025 with five new dates. The newly announced North American shows are confirmed below. Most dates on this run have sold out in advance, and these will too. Pick up tickets here.

In other big news, he just garnered a 2X PLATINUM certification from the RIAA for “Straight and Narrow.” He shows no signs of stopping or slowing down though. He recently made his national TV debut on The Kelly Clarkson Show with his performance of “Indigo (feat. Avery Anna).” HOLLER applauded it as “atmospheric and laced with gravitas, as Barber and Anna trade verses while standing in the lonely glow of the spotlight,” and MusicRow hailed it as “heartrending.” HitsDailyDouble also just featured him. 

Since releasing Restless Mind last fall, Barber has garnered rave reviews from the likes of GRAMMY.com, who noted that the album “furthers his prowess as one of the genre’s most compelling young voices.” Now boasting over 1.3 BILLION global streams, the Southern Missouri native recently embarked on the European leg of his RESTLESS MIND WORLD TOUR 2025 — playing back-to-back shows in London with a pop-up concert at the legendary The NOW Building located in Outernet London last week (3/3) followed by a SOLD-OUT stop at the Electric Ballroom the following night (3/4).

The massive international run continues through the summer and includes headline and festival appearances across the U.S., U.K., and Europe, as well as several shows in Australia with Cameron Whitcomb as support. For the full list of upcoming tour dates visit here.

ABOUT SAM BARBER:
Now that Sam Barber has your attention, he’s looking forward to holding onto it a while. “I love making anything that can affect someone emotionally,” Barber says. The 21-year-old singer/songwriter from Southeast Missouri has already seen his career begin on a meteoric rise, and his debut album, Restless Mind, released in November 2024, is poised to send him into orbit. The ongoing RESTLESS MIND WORLD TOUR has already featured Barber’s SOLD-OUT Ryman Auditorium debut and a showcase slot at the GoldenSky Festival. The tour will reach the U.S., Europe, and Australia in 2025, introducing tens of thousands of new fans to Barber’s energetic and emotional live show. With over 1.3 BILLION global streams to date, Barber continues to stack career milestones in 2025 with “Indigo (feat. Avery Anna)” marking his Billboard Hot 100 chart entry and national TV debut on The Kelly Clarkson Show. After the success of his 2X PLATINUM-certified 2023 single “Straight and Narrow,” Barber combines raw honesty and youthful enthusiasm in a way that has forced him into nearly every conversation about the future of Country music. In the wake of the Restless Mind album and tour, that future may well belong to Barber.
