NASHVILLE, TN (October 10, 2025) – Rising Texas singer/songwriter Braedon Barnhill delivers a melodic dose of Country heartbreak with an upbeat twist in his latest release, “Oklahoma,” out today via The Valory Music Co. The track pairs reflective lyrics about love and distance with a rich blend of steel guitar, fiddle and warm harmonies – capturing the feeling of watching someone walk away while you’re left standing still.
“‘Oklahoma’ means so much to me – the first time I played it live I saw how much it really resonated with people,” shares Barnhill. “It’s crazy to look back on everything that’s happened since then, both personally and in my career. I’m so excited to finally share it.”
True to Barnhill’s style, “Oklahoma” explores emotional complexities with an easygoing spirit – crafting an energetic arrangement that softens the sting of goodbye. Rooted in honesty and vulnerability, the track highlights Barnhill’s strength as a storyteller as he draws from his own emotions and life experiences.

ABOUT BRAEDON BARNHILL: These days Country music can be a lot of things, but to The Valory Music Co.’s emerging singer-songwriter Braedon Barnhill, there’s one thing it’s not – and that’s “black-and-white.” Tapping the emotional gray space of his own coming-of-age, the 23-year-old breakout talent writes songs filled with romantic realism, where love isn’t perfect, and neither are people. Boasting a smooth, Texas Hill Country tenor and a youthful, organic sound, his tunes embrace the messy complexities and contradictions of the heart – offering both sage lyrical insight and intriguing modern energy. A fourth-generation native of Marble Falls, Texas, and baptized in the Lone Star lifestyle and inspired by everything from George Strait and Billy Joe Shaver to Randy Rogers Band, Reckless Kelly and more, Barnhill’s own style is something different – a forward looking fusion of the Texas-Country edge and borderless Pop Rock. Starting out as a songwriter, he played his first show at 19 and has now gone from valeting cars to the verge of stardom, personally signed to Big Machine Label Group by CEO and founder Scott Borchetta. Since then, Barnhill has shared stages with personal heroes like Randy Rogers, Josh Abbott and beyond, while honing his craft with Nashville’s songwriting elite. That work culminated in early 2025 with his Big Machine debut, “Dashboard Dreaming” – an easy-rolling highway rocker, lost in a haze of romantic what-ifs – followed by a series of lyrically rich, self-penned tracks including “Dancing By Myself,” “Front Porch Lights,” “Want It Back” and “Summer Only Lasts So Long.” For more information, visit www.braedonbarnhill.com.
