Barns Courtney has weathered more music industry turbulence than most artists ever experience: from disappearing A&Rs and sold catalogs to years stuck in dead-end contracts. After early setbacks and years of DIY, he broke through with the platinum-certified "Glitter & Gold" in the US and gained global recognition for his voice in the film Burnt . With multiple Top 10 hits on alternative radio and a reputation for intense, unmissable live shows, he's become one of the rock scene's best-kept secrets. Courtney's music sits at the intersection of alternative rock, indie rock, folk-pop, and blues-rock: raw and melodic, with a strong focus on his distinctive voice, guitar, and piano. He's been active as a singer-songwriter since 2015. Now, ten years later and finally released on the indie label Avenue A, he proves that music always finds its way, even when the system breaks down.
