American Aquarium takes the stage at Longhorn Ballroom & Backyard Amphitheater for an all ages show. The North Carolina bred band has spent nearly two decades crafting a blend of rock and country that invites sing along moments while carrying lyrics that land with meaning long after the last chord. Led by songwriter and vocalist BJ Barham, the lineup features Shane Boeker on guitar, Neil Jones on pedal steel, Rhett Huffman on keys, Ryan Van Fleet on drums, and Alden Hedges on bass. Their latest album, The Fear of Standing Still, was recorded live at Sunset Sound in Los Angeles with producer Shooter Jennings and mixed by Trina Shoemaker. It channels a bigger, more electric feel compared to the intimate, acoustic-leaning Chicamacomico, pairing surging riffs and driving rhythms with reflective storytelling. Barham writes about family, sobriety, Southern identity, and breaking harmful cycles, with songs like Crier challenging outdated ideas about masculinity, Southern Roots featuring Katie Pruitt examining what it means to love the South while urging it forward, and Babies Having Babies addressing autonomy and hard choices. Onstage the group is known for high energy performances that match muscular musicianship with candid, empathetic lyrics.
