Hailing from Southeast Missouri, 21-year-old Sam Barber has had a meteoric rise, releasing his debut album Restless Mind last month to rave reviews from fans and critics alike. A stark and soulful set of self-penned standouts, Restless Mind showcases Barber’s sharp-elbowed writing style and barrel-chested vocal – two key elements of his fast rise, which have already led American Songwriter to hail the newcomer as a “Singer-Songwriter on the Brink of Stardom,” while Rolling Stone says, “the Country singer-songwriter delivers from the heart.” – further cementing Sam Barber as one to be on everyone’s radar.
Barber was thrust into the spotlight in 2022 when his original song ‘Straight and Narrow’, a bedroom recording of a song he’d written when he was just 16, went viral. A powerful acoustic track about overcoming life’s countless hurdles, the breakout track proved a US Platinum-certified sensation, reaching #1 on viral charts worldwide while landing on multi-format Billboard Charts, ‘Hot Rock Songs’, ‘Hot Rock & Alternative Songs’ and ‘Hot Country Songs’.
What followed was a whirlwind journey of showcasing his talent to the world. Making his live debut in June 2023 at The Basement in Nashville which proved a sell-out, three months later, he took the iconic Grand Ole Opry stage. In between, he played at Bruce Springsteen’s BST Hyde Park series as well as performances at Stagecoach, Lollapallooza and Australia’s own Ridin’ Hearts Festival.
Embarking on the Restless Mind Tour in celebration of the monumental release of his debut album, Barber will wrap up multiple sold-out shows across the US this month, before taking the tour over to Europe for a series of mind-blowing shows in March.
