Overview
Multi-platinum artist Sam Barber will extend “The American Route Tour” through the end of the year, including a stop at Fishers Event Center.
The new shows continue a breakout year for Barber, who released his sophomore album, Broken View, earlier this year via Atlantic Outpost; stream/purchase HERE. Co-written and co-produced by Barber and Joe Becker (“Indigo,” “Straight and Narrow”) with additional songs co-produced with Aaron Dessner (Taylor Swift, Noah Kahan) at Long Pond Studio, Broken View serves as a sweeping and introspective reflection on life’s complexities, exploring themes of love, loss and self-discovery. Already receiving critical attention, All Country News praises, “a sophomore record that doesn’t just meet expectations, it stares them down and walks right past them…Fully realized, unmistakable, and possible to ignore,” while Whiskey Riff calls the new 13-song collection “incredibly impressive.”
One of the genre’s fastest-rising and “most in-demand artists” (Rolling Stone), Barber has built a devoted global audience through deeply personal songwriting and an unfiltered perspective that resonates across generations. Raised on a farm in southeast Missouri, Barber began playing music as a teenager after picking up his great-grandfather’s Gibson guitar. Guided by his commitment to making music on his own terms, Barber has risen rapidly as a generational voice in country music and now lives in Bozeman, Montana.

With over 3.4 billion global streams, Barber’s 2024 debut album, Restless Mind, received widespread critical acclaim, with Grammy.com declaring, “The double LP shows the true breadth of his artistry, which is grounded in raw, narrative songwriting…and gritty, spare production” and Country Central raving, “a voice poised for stardom, there’s not a message too powerful or radical to be uttered from his lips.” The album earned RIAA Gold certification and features standout singles, including 2x Platinum-certified “Straight and Narrow” and Platinum certified “Indigo (Feat. Avery Anna),” the latter of which has amassed over 728 million global streams and earned Barber a top 40 placement on Billboard’s Hot 100.
Barber has shared stages with icons such as Bruce Springsteen and Ed Sheeran and recently wrapped his massive “Restless Mind World Tour 2025.” He has performed on NBC’s The Kelly Clarkson Show and CBS Saturday Morning’s “Saturday Sessions,” and had his song “Tear Us Apart” featured on the soundtrack for the Twisters movie.
