American Aquarium
DCF Concerts PresentsAMERICAN AQUARIUM w/Special Guests General Admission Standing / All AgesPremium Seating Tables – Tables seat 4 people / Must Be 21+ (*special guests are subject to change) 20 years. 20 records. Over 4,000 shows. And somehow, American Aquarium are still finding new ways to surprise us. On New Ways to Lose, frontman BJ Barham and his band of road warriors turn two decades of survival into a driving, deeply-felt rock & roll statement built on resilience, reinvention, and the hard-earned clarity that only comes with time. “We’ve always been outsiders,” says Barham, whose songwriting has steered the group through lineup changes, heartache, addiction, recovery, a global pandemic, and every other obstacle imaginable. Long before algorithms spelled out success in the music industry, American Aquarium earned their place the old-school way: through relentless touring and a stubborn refusal to disappear. New Ways to Lose turns that outsider status into armor. Produced by multi-time Grammy winner Shooter Jennings, the album was recorded in Los Angeles over 10 days, largely live, with spontaneity valued over perfection. Overdubs added three-part harmonies and horn arrangements. The result is a muscular, cinematic record that embraces both sides of the band’s identity: bruised confessionals and full-throttle rock & roll. Nods to heartland heroes like Springsteen, Petty, and Neil Young abound, but it sounds unmistakably like them. For Barham, it’s a personal turning point too. “All of my records are yearbooks,” he says. Now a husband, father, and bandleader writing from hard-won maturity, he tackles the downfall of small-town America, the hunger for true connection, economic and political wreckage, and even the loss of a beloved pet. “Twin Flames,” written for his wife, is one of the most vulnerable love songs of his career. The album’s title comes from legendary NC State announcer Gary Hahn, whose line “NC State finds a new way to lose today” became a metaphor for the music business. “No matter what success you find, you’re always looking up the ladder at what you don’t have,” Barham says. But the phrase lands with a grin, not defeat. American Aquarium headlined the Ryman and Red Rocks, launched their own festival, and built an international fanbase, all without a major label or mainstream radio. They built their own table when nobody offered them a seat. Released on Barham’s own Losing Side Records (they own their publishing, they answer to nobody), the album dropped just one week after it was announced. “There are three things you can count on,” Barham says: “death, taxes, and American Aquarium showing up to your town once a year to play a rock & roll show.” Musically, New Ways to Lose distills that live show into the band’s most hi-fi studio recording yet. Towering choruses, piano-driven arrangements, E Street Band-worthy brass, and screaming guitars give it an expansive scope. “Our live show is 90 minutes of us kicking your throat in,” Barham says. “We wanted to make a record that felt representative of that.” Twenty years in, American Aquarium aren’t chasing validation. They’ve built something bigger. New Ways to Lose doesn’t sound like a band slowing down. It sounds like winning.
