Brisbane's inner-city voice since 2014
The US country singer has a new EP out now and two nights at Riverstage in April 2027. The first is already sold out.
Sam Barber last played Brisbane at The Triffid, over two nights at the end of April and the start of May 2025. The second was added as an all-ages show. In April 2027 he is back for two more nights, and this time the venue is Riverstage in the City Botanic Gardens.
The first, on Tuesday 13 April, is listed as sold out on Frontier Touring's tour page. The second, on Wednesday 14 April, is on sale now. General admission standing tickets are $99 plus fees through Ticketmaster, and a Pre-Show Acoustic Experience is $249. Both nights are licensed and all ages, with Josiah and the Bonnevilles as support.
The news arrives with a new EP. Outlier is out now through Atlantic Outpost, with six tracks produced by Joe Becker, who also produced "Indigo" and "Straight and Narrow". The track list is "Outlier", "If I May", "Turn The Light Off", "Good Faith", "Northern Weeds" and "Settle In".

Barber grew up on a farm in southeast Missouri and started playing as a teenager on his great-grandfather's Gibson guitar. He now lives in Montana. His label says he has gone from selling out small clubs to the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, two nights at New York's Pier 17, and a sold-out headline debut at Red Rocks this past summer. It also says he won Breakthrough Country Artist at the 2026 American Music Awards. His song "Indigo", with Avery Anna, reached the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100.
The Australian run starts in Perth on 31 March and takes in Melbourne, Adelaide, Sydney and Newcastle before reaching Brisbane. Barber then heads north for Country Fest Queensland in Townsville on 17 April.
