Just in time for Fat Tuesday, Sony Music Nashville/Disruptor Records newcomer and Louisiana native Graham Barham debuted his latest track, “BAYOU BOY.” Listen here.
“Dropping ‘BAYOU BOY’ felt like the right opportunity to properly introduce myself and to let my audience know who I am,” said Barham. Co-written with Beau Bailey and Will Bundy, the song is an ode to life in Barham’s home state and highlights the singer-songwriter’s trademark clever wordplay bringing to life distinctive imagery of the bayou, from mossy oaks to Mardi Gras beads.
Barham kicked off 2024 with the release of “LIGHTS ON NOBODY’S HOME,” a playful take on drinking away heartbreak. He was named as one of Spotify’s 2024 Hot Country Artists to Watch, as well as an Artist To Watch in 2024 by Music Mayhem.
Raised on a farm in Oak Ridge, Louisiana (population: 124), Barham draws upon the lush setting of his small southern hometown in his songs. The son of a farmer and a schoolteacher, Barham began singing in church as a little kid and taught himself to play guitar and write music by the age of 10. At age 18, he made his way to Nashville and began penning tunes for artists in town, dialing in a distinctive balance of compassion, honesty, and humor in his songwriting, while mining inspiration from classic country artists like George Strait as well as heavy hitters in the pop world.
Barham shared his debut single “Preachers Need People” in 2022, which promptly brought viral success. He’s since released several tracks like the irresistibly fun “BREAK IT IN A BAR,” twangy rebound tune “TWO BROKE HEARTS,” and the slow-burning and regretful “BEER BY MY BED,” all of which highlight his homespun storytelling with lived-in detail.
Fans can catch Barham on select tour dates with Adam Doleac, Dierks Bentley, Dylan Scott, and Tyler Braden this spring. Follow Barham on his social media channels for updates and additional info.
