While he may not be a household name at present, Evan Barber is no stranger to the Americana/roots music scene in the south. The Albany, Georgia native has been writing, recording, and touring across his native territory for the better part of the past decade. He’s cut his teeth sharing the stage with the likes of Chris Stapleton, Blackberry Smoke, Jason Isbell, and the Drive-by Truckers — just to name a few. His songs are sketches of the American South; honest-to-goodness stories lifted from the prairies situated below the heart of Appalachia.
Barber’s latest offering Until The Thunder is out April 22nd and unravels a story song cycle that musically dabbles into progressive realms while keeping anchored with a muscular twang. Glide is premiering the reverb-laden “N. Florida” – a day-dreamy, reverb-laden song reminiscing on the innocence of fond childhood memories. Barber sings with a swampy soul that reflects the veracity of Steve Earle and the tunefulness of Hayes Carll.
