The James Barker Band has carved out a remarkable journey—from opening local shows in dive bars to achieving multiple No. 1 singles, hundreds of millions of streams, and headlining festivals across North America and Europe. With their GOLD-certified hit “New Old Trucks” featuring Dierks Bentley, they secured their fourth Canadian No. 1, making them the country’s top-charting Canadian country group.
Hailing from rural towns near Toronto, members James Barker, Taylor Abram, Connor Stephen, and Bobby Martin formed a tight-knit musical brotherhood. Their breakthrough came in 2017 with the chart-topping “Chills” on Billboard’s Canadian Hot 100, setting off a wave of success that includes nine GOLD singles, two Platinum hits, and a GOLD-certified EP.
Now, this “band of brothers from different mothers” is gearing up to release their six-track label debut EP, Ahead Of Our Time, on October 20. Fueled by natural chemistry and small-town grit, the group’s rise has been defined by infectious energy and authentic connection. Despite their growing international acclaim, JBB remains grounded, driven by the same passion that started it all.
