Today, as multi-award-winning, PLATINUM-selling James Barker Band enters the final weeks of their cross-Canada tour, the four-piece are ushering in the warm weather months with the release of the perfect summertime day-drinking track, “Beer Me.” With their current single “Wastin’ Whiskey” racing up the charts, JBB embraces their alter-egos with “Beer Me” — a tongue-in-cheek, party anthem for fans. Streaming everywhere today, “Beer Me” is just what the doctor ordered after putting in another blue-collar forty, to kick off a laid-back weekend with friends.
Written by JBB frontman James Barker with Todd Clark, Gavin Slate and Travis Wood, “Beer Me” brings the undeniable charisma of JBB to the forefront, showcasing the shameless group of smalltown best friends that fans fell in love with from day one. Reminiscent of the infectiousness from their GOLD-certified track “Lawn Chair Lazy,” “Beer Me” gives listeners permission to shake off the weight of their daily responsibilities, pop a top, and let their party flags fly.
“We all know that friend, or maybe are that friend, that becomes the party as soon as the first cold one goes down and that’s really what this track is about,” said Barker of the inspiration behind the new track. “If I had to pick one song that summarized JBB this would be the one – the anthem of a carefree, beer-drinking guy who just loves to have a good time with his closest buds.”
Following up their record-setting #1 earlier this year, which saw them secure the most #1s for a Canadian country group in the BDS/Mediabase era with their track “New Old Trucks” feat. Dierks Bentley, last month JBB released their viral track “Wastin’ Whiskey,” about the all-too-relatable pain of not being able to get over a broken heart. The track is currently climbing the Canadian radio charts, sitting in the top 20. Fans can catch that single, as well as today’s new release, live during the final weeks of the Some Things Never Change Tour, which has taken the JBB crew, made up of James Barker (lead vocals/guitar), Taylor Abram (guitar/background vocals), Connor Stephen (drums) and Bobby Martin (bass) across Canada for the past month. While only a handful of shows remain on the tour, JBB will be taking festival stages in both Canada and the U.S all summer long.
