NASHVILLE, TN (February 28, 2025) – Breakout Texas singer/songwriter Braedon Barnhill steps further into the spotlight with his third release, “Front Porch Lights,” available today via The Valory Music Co. The heartfelt, fiddle-laden track follows the “irresistible country rocker” “Dashboard Dreaming” (MusicRow) and the introspective coming-of-age anthem “Dancing By Myself.”
Based on a true story and co-written by Braedon, “Front Porch Lights” is a next-generation shot of Texas Country paired with a classic one-more-chance message. Authentic and upbeat, the song captures the moment of a man standing under the glow of a lonely porch light, hoping for another shot at love. The track is brimming with energy, heart and apologetic optimism, serving as a call to fix what’s broken.
“I wrote this song during a time when I was in a relationship, and although we hadn’t broken up yet, we were constantly fighting. I was always trying to find ways to win her back,” Braedon reflects. “What I really love about this song is how authentic it feels to me and the situation I was in, and I think it’s something a lot of people will resonate with.”

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, the rising star grew up a lifelong fan of Texas Country music … just without realizing what “Texas Country” was. 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 – and there are more lyrically-layered, self-penned tunes to come, as a year of firsts takes Barnhill far beyond the Texas state line.
