Dave Barnes

An easy-going adult-alternative artist with strong ties to Christian Contemporary Music, Dave Barnes built an impressive word-of-mouth fanbase around his independent releases and extensive touring. Often hitting the road with his close friend and fellow singer-songwriter Matt Wertz, Barnes eventually secured a major-label deal with 2008’s ME AND YOU AND THE WORLD. In early ’09, his YOU, THE NIGHT, & THE CANDLENIGHT EP managed to crack the Billboard Top 200, marking a new level of success for the earnest performer.
