Exclusive Premiere: Listen to the James Barker Band’s Live-in-the-Moment New Single, “Just Sayin’”

From established Canadian artists like Shania Twain and Terri Clark to newcomers Lindsay Ell and High Valley, country music is alive and well north of the border, dontcha know?

Ontario-based James Barker Band—James (lead vocals/guitar), Taylor Abram (backup vocals/guitar), Bobby Martin (bass) and Connor Stephen (drums)—formed in 2013, and the troupe has been lighting up the Northern sky with their good-timin’ tunes for the past three years.

james-barker-band-minJBB released their debut single, “Lawn Chair Lazy,” in May and it became the highest charting debut single ever from a Canadian country artist. Now the group is invading the U.S. with their new single, “Just Sayin’,” which is premiering below on Nash Country Daily.

“We are super excited about ‘Just Sayin’,’ our new tune,” says James. “Our first single, ‘Lawn Chair Lazy,’ was a chill, summer-style song and we wanted to do something a little more upbeat. That being said, we wanted ‘Just Sayin” to have the same kind of fun idea and groove. It’s definitely a blast to play live, so we knew it had to be a single!”

Listen to “Just Sayin’” below.
