Country singer-songwriter Braedon Barnhill has signed a record deal with The Valory Music Co.

Growing up in a musical household as the son of touring musician Stacy Barnhill, the 23 year old started writing songs alongside his father at a young age, quickly realizing that music was his true passion. As he toured across his home state, he built a dedicated fanbase and has had the opportunity to share the stage with Josh Abbott Band, Gary Allan, Randy Rogers Band and others. Now based in his hometown of Austin, Barnhill has a residency at the renowned Saxon Pub, one of the city’s top listening rooms.

“Braedon’s brand of country music is Texas born and bred,” says 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-a-lifetime 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!”

Barnhill has released two new tracks today (Jan. 24) to celebrate his label debut, “Dashboard Dreaming” and “Dancing By Myself.” Both tracks were co-penned with his father.

“I wrote ‘Dashboard Dreaming’ when I got broken up with for the first time in my life,” recalls Barnhill. “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.”
