Sam Barber

Born Samuel Robert Barber in Perry Country, Missouri, on April 15, 2003, country singer Sam Barber wrote his first songs as a teenager, before studying civil engineering. Still a student, he posted his first videos on social networks in 2021, mainly covers such as Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Simple Man", but also "Ophelia" by The Lumineers. The audience for his first personal track, "Run Away High", encouraged him to audition for American Idol, but he was not selected. Luck smiled on him when another of his songs, "Straight and Narrow", received rave reviews on the networks and in the charts, peaking at #13 on Billboard's Hot Rock & Alternative Songs Chart and charting in Canada, Australia and Ireland. He made his live debut in 2023, and was soon opening for Bruce Springsteen and Ed Sheeran, before his first concert at the Grand Ole Opry. Signed by Atlantic subsidiary Lockeland Springs, he released his first EP Million Eyes (2023), followed by a live EP 001. In 2024, after composing the song "Tear Us Apart" for the film Twisters, a new series of singles announces the release of his debut album Restless Mind, featuring two duets with Avery Anna.
