"INDIGO" TIME FOR SAM BARBER

Lockeland Springs/Atlantic's Sam Barber is closing out 2024 on a high note. The 21-year-old singer-songwriter's "Indigo" f/Avery Anna is blowing up at TikTok and DSPs, while his "Better Year" just scored a major placement on Paramount's Yellowstone.

"Indigo" is approaching the Top 50 at Apple Music and on 12/9 was the top new entry on Spotify's U.S. chart. In less than a week, moreover, the emotional duet inspired 100k+ creations on TikTok. "Indigo" resides at #24 on TikTok's most recent Viral Top 50.

The artist’s 28-track debut set, Restless Mind, home to "Indigo" and "Better Year," dropped on 11/1.

The banner year enjoyed by Barber, who was inked by Atlantic's Jeff Levin and Ian Cripps and is managed by Colton Kramer and Jerrin Uecker, has included sets at Stagecoach and Lollapalooza and a sold-out debut at Nashville's Ryman Auditorium. He also contributed the song “Tear Us Apart” to the Grammy-nominated Twisters soundtrack.

2025 will find the Missouri native traversing the U.S., Europe and Australia on a headlining trek.

As we've seen with Americana/roots acts like Zach Bryan, The Red Clay Strays and Tyler Childers, once this fan base buys in, the sky’s the limit. Could "Indigo" be the game-changing track for Barber and team? Stay tuned. In the meantime, check out this clip.
