Stream Sam Barber Surprised Released 'Dyin' Times' EP
(Sacks & Co) Sam Barber, the multi-platinum artist and rising star, shares his new EP, Outlier, today via Atlantic Outpost. Following the project's release this morning, Barber just surprised fans with an additional EP, Dyin' Times, out now; listen here.
Produced by Joe Becker ("Indigo," "Straight and Narrow"), Outlier and Dyin' Times feature a combined ten new tracks and continue a standout year for the rising star, who won Breakthrough Country Artist at the 2026 American Music Awards and is in the midst of his extensive "The American Route Tour."
Barber has rapidly risen from selling out small clubs to packing iconic venues like New York's Pier 17 (two nights), Nashville's Ryman Auditorium and Red Rocks Amphitheatre, where he made his sold-out headline debut this past summer.
The tour follows the release of Barber's sophomore album, Broken View, earlier this spring. Co-written and co-produced by Barber and Becker, 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.
Released to critical acclaim, Billboard praises, "he continues building a musical body of work that explores the complexities of romance, the gravity of loss and the shifting perspectives that come with maturation," while All Country News declares, "a sophomore record that doesn't just meet expectations, it stares them down and walks right past them...Fully realized, unmistakable, and impossible to ignore."
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 Montana.
