BIO
Joe Barron was born and raised in El Paso, Texas, where his love for red dirt country was ignited by nights spent at Cheatham Street Warehouse in San Marcos, the same venue where Randy Rogers, Sean McConnell, and other Texas Country troubadours were frequenting - not to mention, packing out every time. Joe was there as a student athlete at Texas State University, and had his heart set on football, but when a bull riding accident left him with plenty of free time, Joe picked up the guitar. Realizing he had found a new passion, Joe began to perform his songs at their open mic nights, thanks to an opportunity from Kent Finlay, and never looked back. After starting a band and gaining some momentum, he took a stint in the oil field for 2 years while writing songs, but nothing could keep him from the stage. Upon his return, he reunited with his band and began gigging full time, continuing on to receive “El Paso’s Artist of the Year '' two years in a row.
With the support of his friends and family, Joe Barron decided to pack his bags for Music City. Since his arrival in 2016, Joe has become one of the most sought-after artists of Nashville’s Honkey Tonks, by securing full time primetime residencies, and opening for acts such as Jimmie Allen, Tyler Farr, Mitchell TenPenny, and Matt Stell. His first EP, "Strangers with Memories" was a project inspired by his time in Texas, and helped propel his first year in Nashville as it gained interest back West. Netflix became aware of the buzz, purchasing 6 songs off the album to be featured on its hit original show, "The Ranch".
In February of 2021, under new management and reconnecting with his roots, Joe delivered "Chainsmoking", a catchy getting-over-you ballad featured on Spotify's New Music Nashville playlist upon release. Now, splitting his time between Nashville and the road, Joe Barron is performing full time, promoting his current single "Dirt Road Dance" and preparing to release his next single "Rockstar" in October of this year. Having played over 1,200 live shows as a full time artist, Joe Barron has become a seasoned and dynamic performer with fans all over the country. His distinctive tone and unique blend of Texas, traditional and alternative country have made Joe Barron a hit in a variety of markets, each of which will be included in his upcoming plans to tour full time.
