Info for One Of Us

James Barker Band release their highly anticipated sophomore full length album "One Of Us", on September 5 via Universal Music Canada. The album features 12 brand new tracks that capture the band’s signature energy and relatable storytelling.

The announcement comes on the heels of a No. 1 single for “You Didn’t Hear It From Me,” includes the release of the album’s title track “One Of Us” (out now), and in advance of the band hitting the road to headline year two of the Bud Light Buckle Up Tour, which will take the them across Canada this fall. The boys just received two nominations for this year’s Canadian Country Music Awards that take place in Kelowna, BC this September. By and large, 2025 marks a huge year for James Barker Band.

One Of Us is a vibrant collection that dives into themes of love, heartbreak, rebound, and everything in between, always grounded in the band’s unmistakable charm and “good time, every time” spirit. With this new album, James Barker Band further cements their place at the forefront of Canada’s country music scene.

The band members added: “We’ve never been able to release more than a few songs at a time, so dropping a full-length album just feels deeper. A single gives you one vibe, one dimension. But with this album, all the songs blend to create something bigger. There’s a thread that runs through the sound and the lyrics that really shows who we are as a band.” - James Barker (lead vocals / guitar)

“This album means so much to me. Ten years of ups, downs, right calls, wrong calls, it all led us here. We’re finally making the music we want to make, with no filters. Every song feels like a letter to the towns that raised us.” - Bobby Martin (bass)

“It’s a very special record for us. It moves through so many different vibes & grooves, and the journey from one track to the next is something I know listeners will connect with, I know I do!” - Taylor Abram (guitar / background vocals)

"This album is a culmination of 10 years of learning, debating, curveballs and teamwork. It's a group project from high school, stretched out over a decade with higher stakes and louder arguments. It's not easy, but the process becomes just as meaningful as the product, so it doesn't matter if you get a C+. But this is definitely an A+." - Connor Stephen (drums)

James Barker Band
is proof that big dreams can grow from small-town roots. Made up of James Barker (lead vocals/guitar), Connor Stephen (drums), Taylor Abram (guitar/background vocals) and Bobby Martin (bass), their big break came in 2015 at the Emerging Artist Showcase at Boots and Hearts Music Festival, where their raw talent and undeniable charm earned them the top prize. That victory was a launchpad, leading to a record deal with Universal Music Canada, the country's leading music company, and the release of their breakout single, "Lawn Chair Lazy," in 2017. The laid-back anthem quickly gained traction and earned Platinum certification, but it was just the beginning. Their subsequent singles have also earned vast achievements and acclaim.

Fueled by friendship, grit, and a shared love for storytelling, the band has gone from local dive bars to headlining stages across North America and Europe, amassing over 295 million global streams, 12 Gold and Platinum certifications, and the unwavering devotion of fans along the way. Their bustling catalogue has seen a string of successful tracks earning them vast achievements and acclaim including multiple No. 1 Canadian country radio hits, a Billboard Canada Country Chart No.1, several CCMA and CMAO awards and two JUNO Award for Country Album of the Year in 2018 and 2024. In 2018 they also won the JUNO Award for Breakthrough Artist of the Year.

But beyond their record-breaking metrics and awards, James Barker Band's magic lies in their connection, to each other, to their roots, and to the fans who see themselves in their songs. Every note they play is a tribute to the small towns that raised them, the families that support them, and the communities that keep showing up to cheer them on. With their grounded ethos, infectious energy, and heartfelt storytelling, James Barker Band has made it clear: they're not just chasing dreams, they're sharing them. As they continue their rise in Canada, Nashville, and beyond, the band remains the same four humble friends who started it all, proof that sometimes, the best stories come from the simplest beginnings.

With this, the multi-award-winning four-piece is continuing its steadfast ascent in Canada, Nashville and beyond as they reunite with their home country label Universal Music Canada and gear up for a year of new music.

“You Didn’t Hear It From Me,” went to #1 at country radio, and currently sits at over 10M streams globally. Social views are over 25M across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube Shorts, Facebook and Snapchat. They are, in a way, still just getting started. James Barker Band, a good time, every time.

This album contains no booklet.
