In this episode, we take a deep dive into Sam's journey as an artist. Growing up in Southeast Missouri, Sam never imagined a future in music. But the soulful sounds of Tyler Childers and Chris Stapleton changed everything.

Picking up his grandfather’s dusty old Gibson guitar, he found his voice and began his musical journey. Whether it was the explosion of "Straight and Narrow", his EP Million Eyes or his 2024 album Restless Mind, he's been constantly making waves in the country and Americana scene, and Sam Barber is showing no signs of slowing down.
