About
AMERICAN AQUARIUM IN CONCERT:
Alt-country rockers American Aquarium have recorded eight albums in as many years, establishing themselves as one of the genre's most prolific rising acts. The quality of the band's work matches its quantity, treating listeners to a creative hybrid sound that includes bittersweet slide guitar, sparse drumming, and the gnarled vocals of frontman BJ Barham. Whether they're playing slow-burning country tracks like "Jacksonville" or charging barnburners like "Burn.Flicker.Die", American Aquarium always delivers their unforgettable sets with a passion and authenticity that leave fans wanting more.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
American Aquarium formed in Raleigh, NC, in 2006, taking their name from a lyric in the Wilco song "I Am Trying to Break Your Heart". The band released their debut album Antique Hearts the same year, building a strong local following with extensive regional touring. With 2008's The Bible and the Bottle LP and accompanying tour , they expanded their fanbase beyond their home state, racking up more than 250 shows in one year. Their profile continued to rise with a prolific recording and release schedule, which saw the band average an album per year since their formation. In 2012 they achieved a critical breakthrough with their seventh studio album Burn.Flicker.Die, an ambitious effort that earned effusive praise from American Songwriter for its finely crafted material. Seasoned performers known for their honest songwriting and slide guitar-heavy sound, American Aquarium continue to set the alt-country bar on their must-see tours.

American Aquarium brings it!
by Lua on 2/20/25Music Farm - CharlestonRating: 5 out of 5American Aquarium put on an excellent show for an enthusiastic crowd at the Music Farm in Charleston, SC a few nights ago. The crowd yelled and clapped and sang along to many of the band's most fun songs. Then the band took a break while BJ told a story and sang a song which brought audible sobs from at least one fan. Then the band came back and we shook off the sadness and reveled in being together with this great band.
one hell of a show!
by Knox on 2/10/25Bijou Theatre - KnoxvilleRating: 5 out of 5Outstanding performance. Tight! Would go to see them again.
Pure Joy
by PAR on 2/8/25Bijou Theatre - KnoxvilleRating: 5 out of 5From the first note, this band displays the pure joy of playing and entertaining. BJ Barham's vocals are stunning, and his movement and facial expressions are spellbinding. I'm a new fan!
Great as always!
by Joey on 2/8/25Bijou Theatre - KnoxvilleRating: 5 out of 5This was the 3rd trip for my friend and I to see the band. Each and every show is awesome. They put on a high energy show and sing from the heart in every song. The next time they are close, I will see them again.
We rocked, we cried, we loved it!
by AnnK on 12/17/24The Blue Note - ColumbiaRating: 5 out of 5Loved that that the guys played standard favorites, and we truly appreciated BJ's "encore"with heartfelt stories and songs. Great show!
INCREDIBLE
by ds on 9/13/24The Bluestone - ColumbusRating: 5 out of 5Once again the show was amazing. The Bluestone is a beautiful venue for a concert.
Phenomenal Show!
by Charles Entertainment Cheese on 9/13/24The Bluestone - ColumbusRating: 5 out of 5Both American Aquarium and the opener, Darren Bradbury, gave AWESOME performances.
Awesome performance
by Deglove on 9/3/24Greenfield Lake Amphitheater - WilmingtonRating: 5 out of 5I have seen American Aquarium at least 5 times and this was in my opinion the best by far ! BJ and the guys were on fire tonight and I had a first time out for AQ , a friend of mine from Pa with me. He is not a country music or anywhere close a fan and he loved the band. I understand they are not labeled "country"but "Indie"with a country flavor. I introduced him to Reckless Kelly at Rocky Mount Harvester Center in Va and for him it wasn't close. So , kudos to the band , you've won a new Yankee fan !
Great show!
by Ken K on 9/2/24Greenfield Lake Amphitheater - WilmingtonRating: 5 out of 5From the opening act, the Watson Twin through every tune of American Aquarium, a great experience!
