Multi-platinum singer-songwriter Sam Barber is bringing his raw and emotional sound to the Salem Civic Center stage Thursday night, February 5, 2026. Tickets for his first appearance at the historic arena go on sale Friday, October 31, at 10 a.m.
Barber’s music has been streamed more than 2 billion times and he has claimed his space in the country spotlight with the breakout success of his RIAA Gold-certified 2024 full length debut album, “Restless Mind”. The impressive 28-song collection features such smash singles as the “Straight and Narrow” and “Better Year”.
This highly acclaimed offering also features the global sensation “Indigo” which is a duet featuring Avery Anna. This song alone has over 500 million global streams, and it has earned Platinum certification in Australia and 2x Platinum certification in Canada, while also reaching the Top 40 on Billboard’s overall “Hot 100.”
The 22-year-old Missouri native did not even begin getting serious about music until he was 16. And while he received a “Golden Ticket” during the 20th season of American Idol in 2022, he was eliminated before the latter rounds of competition. Undeterred, he built a huge following by posting his own music videos on TikTok.
