Anchored by slamming 808s meeting slick steel guitar, Graham Barham’s distinct sonic can be summed up in two words: CLUB COUNTRY. With his roots in Oak Ridge, Louisiana (population: 124), Barham grew up the son of a farmer and a schoolteacher, inspired by country stalwarts like George Strait as much as pop and hip-hop icons such as Justin Bieber.

Named an artist to watch by Spotify and Amazon Music, Barham has made waves with his signature wordplay and swaggering musicality. As naturally as he writes and performs fiery country bangers, he pens cuts for fellow rising stars such as Wyatt Flores, Chase Matthew, and Tyler Braden.

Signed to Sony Music Nashville and Disruptor Records, Barham’s latest viral hit “OIL MONEY” earned the largest debut of his career and is the title track of his accompanying EP, which features standouts like “WHISKEY WHISKEY,” “LIE TO ME,” and “SHOOT THE LOCK.

He is performing at Country Rising Festival 2026 on the following dates:

• August 7 – Colorado Springs
• August 28 – Buffalo
