American Aquarium Live in Nashville

American Aquarium is an American alternative country band from Raleigh, North Carolina, formed in 2006 and led by frontman BJ Barham. Known for their raw, boozy sound with echoes of the Drive-By Truckers and early Rolling Stones, the band has released seven albums, including the critically acclaimed *Burn. Flicker. Die.*, produced by Jason Isbell. They have toured extensively, playing around 250 shows a year, building a dedicated fanbase beyond their native state.

Attendees can expect a high-energy performance from a band that has undergone multiple lineup changes but remains centered on Barham's songwriting, which often addresses themes of heartbreak, Southern identity, and resilience. The current lineup as of April 2020 includes Barham on lead vocals and acoustic guitar, joined by other musicians. Their Nashville show will feature their alternative country sound that has earned comparisons to Bruce Springsteen and Lucero.
