James Barker Band Set to Rock North Bay This November!

North Bay Village, Canada - Country music fans in North Bay have reason to celebrate. The James Barker Band, a rising star in the Canadian country scene, will perform at North Bay’s Betty Speers Theatre on November 9 as part of their Bud Light Buckle Up Tour. This exciting concert promises to be a highlight of the local music calendar as the band continues to build on their impressive momentum.

Originally formed in 2013 in Woodville, Ontario, the band took root when members James Barker and Connor Stephen first met at a band camp. They were soon joined by Taylor Abram and Bobby Marti, all hailing from rural towns near Toronto. Over the years, they’ve transformed from opening for local acts to becoming a highly-regarded name in the industry. The group has amassed an impressive collection of accolades, including winning the Emerging Artist Showcase at the Boots and Hearts Music Festival in 2015, solidifying their place in country music.

A History of Success

The James Barker Band burst into the limelight with their breakout single „Lawn Chair Lazy,“ released in 2017, which quickly achieved Platinum certification. But their most notable achievement came with the single „Chills,“ which not only soared to No. 1 on Canadian country music charts but also snagged the title of 2x Platinum hit. In 2018, this catchy tune earned them a win for Single of the Year and Top Selling Canadian Single of the Year at the Canadian Country Music Awards, not to mention its nomination for the prestigious SOCAN Songwriter Prize. Quite the feather in their cap!

Since then, their journey has been nothing short of remarkable. Their album “Game On,” which features “Chills,” won them a JUNO Award for Country Album of the Year and is Gold certified. As of today, the band boasts 12 Gold and Platinum certifications along with four number one hits in Canada, including „Over All Over Again,“ „Meet Your Mama,“ and „New Old Trucks,“ a collaboration with Dierks Bentley.
