The 23-year-old Austinite joins the Big Machine Label Group imprint’s powerhouse roster alongside renowned artists such as Thomas Rhett, Brantley Gilbert, Justin Moore, Conner Smith, Mackenzie Carpenter, Aaron Lewis, Sheryl Crow and more.
Barnhill will continue his residency at Saxon Pub – the venue at which he started his career – while simultaneously working with The Valory Music Co. to share his talents elsewhere.
“Braedon’s brand of country music is Texas born and bred,” shares BMLG’s chairman and CEO Scott Borchetta. “He’s in the right place at the right time, building his career in the great clubs around Austin and surrounding areas, and his circle is only going to get bigger and bigger.”
“I’m beyond honored to have this once-in-alifetime opportunity to sign with The Valory Music Co.,” shares Barnhill. “Being part of a team that believes in you and shares the same vision for your career is a truly rare and incredible thing. I’m excited to see where this journey will take me!”
Raised in a musical household as the son of a touring musician, Barnhill began writing songs with his father, Stacy Barnhill, at a young age and knew early on music was his calling.
Building a loyal fanbase while touring across his home state, he has shared the stage with the likes of Josh Abbott Band, Gary Allan, Randy Rogers Band and more.
On Jan. 24, the upand- coming singer/songwriter debuted two new songs co-written alongside his father, “Dashboard Dreaming” and “Dancing By Myself,” now available via The Valory Music Co.
“I wrote ‘Dashboard Dreaming’ when I got broken up with for the first time in my life,” Barnhill recalls. “At the time, I was living in San Marcos, Texas, and for the first few nights, I’d drive around listening to sad songs and trying to summon the courage to knock on her door and ask for another chance.”
“‘Dancing By Myself’ is about when I moved out of my parents’ house for the first time,” he adds.
“It was a major moment of growth, and I felt like I was learning so much. This song is about learning how to navigate adulthood, especially when it comes to relationships. I’m so excited for people to hear these songs, and I hope they really resonate with those who have gone through similar situations.”
