Barns Courtney has lived through more music-industry chaos than most artists ever see—labels collapsing, A&Rs disappearing, catalogs getting sold off, and years lost in dead-end contracts. Signed at 19, he hit the wall hard, bouncing between sofa-surfing and odd jobs… then rebuilt everything from the ground up when Bradley Cooper hand-picked his voice for Burnt and his DIY breakout “Glitter & Gold” (recorded in an abandoned care home with filing cabinets for drums) quietly went platinum in the U.S. Since then, Courtney’s stacked multiple Top 10 alt-radio hits and earned a reputation for live shows that feel like controlled mayhem—big hooks, huge singalongs, and the kind of raw energy you only get from an artist who’s had to fight for every inch. Now fully independent on Avenue A, this isn’t a comeback—it’s the next chapter from one of rock’s best-kept secrets, finally making music on his own terms. Presented by El Club. All ages
