An Evening with BJ Barham of American Aquarium
B.J. Barham was a long way from home when the tragedy happened.
On November 13, 2015, the singer-songwriterraised in a small North Carolina town called Reidsvillewas in the middle of his fourth European tour with American Aquarium, the rising alt-country act hed led for nearly a decade. They were in Belgium, less than two hours from Paris, when bad news began to arrive: a series of terrorist attacks, including one in a rock club, had left more than 100 dead. Family members, friends, and the fans American Aquarium had amassed from so many years on the road immediately reached out, making sure the band had been far away.
he shock of the moment and the distance from home seemed to give Barham a crucial perspective on the moments and circumstances that had helped shape him. Wolves, American Aquariums much-lauded 2015 breakthrough, had contained Barhams most honest, vulnerable statements to date. But these songs took the next step, allowing Barham to share stories about those around him. In OLover, he portrays a hard-working farmer forced to make some desperate decisions to support the ones he loves. In Reidsville, named for the place hed called his home until relocating to North Carolinas capital, he immortalized beautiful, sweet, doomed souls, stuck in love in the sort of small towns that are disintegrating all across America. You neednt have been to Reidsville to recognize these elegantly written, expertly realized protagonists.
