Barham Leads the Lineup at Mid-South Music Festival 

Graham Barham Tops MSMF Lineup with 132M+ Career Streams 

Southwest Arkansas’s largest music festival returns this fall with its biggest headliner yet: Graham Barham.  

Barham storms the stage on October 18th as day two’s headliner at the newly rebranded Mid-South Music Festival (MSMF) in Arkadelphia—formerly the Arkadelphia Festival of the Arts.  

“We may be in our first year as Mid-South, but 2025 marks the 5th anniversary of this incredible festival,” said Festival Coordinator Jenna Friday. “Graham is the dynamic, high-energy performer we’ve been looking for, and we couldn’t be more excited to have him headline the 2025 Mid-South Music Festival.” 

Barham is forging his own path within the country music scene. Drawing inspiration from country legends like George Strait, as well as pop and hip-hop icons, Barham’s sound is best described in two words: CLUB COUNTRY. Barham’s latest viral hit, “Oil Money,” is the biggest debut of his career and the title track of his highly anticipated EP. 

With standout songs like “Whiskey Whiskey,” “Lie To Me,” and “Shoot the Lock,” the project shows off Barham’s sharp songwriting and hip-hop-influenced sound, blending catchy lyrics with fresh, modern production. Barham has over 132 million career streams and is signed to Sony Music Nashville and Disruptor Records. 

Sponsored by Southern Bancorp, Barham will headline day two of the 2025 Mid-South Music Festival on October 18, 2025. He will perform a free show starting at 8:30 PM in downtown Arkadelphia.
