GRAHAM BARHAM - LIGHTS ON NOBODY'S HOME - Sony Music Nashville/Disrupter Records

Have you ever been to Oak Ridge, Louisiana?  With a population of 124 people, it may not be a premium tourist destination, but it is the hometown of one of the newest members of the Sony Music Nashville family – Graham Barham. 

Following a string of successful releases over the past year plus, the fast-rising southern crooner is back with a brand-new tune in celebration of his record deal.  “LIGHTS ON NOBODY'S HOME” is available digitally and on all streaming platforms now.

Written by Barham along with Beau Bailey, Will Bundy and Brad Clawson, the new track serves as a fun, even light-hearted take on a night of drinking as a way to mend a broken heart.  We have all experienced heartbreak (and if you haven’t…well good for you!) and, for better or worse, drinking and partying seems to be one of the methods to cope with our feelings. 

Barham is no-doubt a talent with the sound of an emerging artist on the rise, and this new tune perfectly illustrates his star potential.  Lyrically, this is a creative, simply relatable track of which fans of all ages can enjoy, with Graham’s vocals crooning through the heartbreak anthem.

“Now I’m lining up the shots ‘til my world goes black

Pouring out my problems with my good friend Jack

The thought of being single got me spinning, seeing double

If I sober up my heart’ll be in trouble

So I’m thinking ‘til last call

Lights on, nobody’s home”

This is a modern country song to its core, incorporating minor elements of other genres, all arriving at the central home of southern pop twang.  With only a handful of songs under his belt thus far, Barham has already established his signature style, which has proven to be easy on the ears and thought-provoking to the mind.  Not surprisingly, it has led to the Louisiana native inking a deal with Sony Music Nashville and Disruptor Records.

“I’m so grateful for the opportunity to work with the incredible teams at Sony Music Nashville and Disruptor”, Barham said.  “It really is a blessing to partner with companies who have such a long history of developing artists and innovating musically.  I couldn’t be more excited or grateful to have them in my corner.”

“LIGHTS ON NOBODY'S HOME” serves as a follow up to “Beer By My Bed”, “Two Broke Hearts”, and “Break It In A Bar”.  His debut single, “Preachers Need People”, put him on the country music map in 2022, and he has been building momentum ever since.  Graham will be on the road this winter, appearing on select dates of Adam Doleac’s Wrong Side Of A Sunrise 2024 Tour in February, March, and April.
