Australian country music headliner Casey Barnes is back with a bold new sound on his electrifying single, “Buy That Girl A Beer.” Co-written in Nashville with Jimmy Thow and Andy Skib—and produced by Skib, known for his collaborations with Keith Urban, Hunter Hayes, Mickey Guyton, Adam Doleac, and Caylee Hammack—this high-octane track delivers an unmistakable stadium-ready punch. With towering guitars, pounding percussion, and a chorus guaranteed to get stuck in your head, Casey’s latest release captures the spirit of modern country rock on par with today’s biggest anthems.
“Buy That Girl A Beer” marks Casey’s first original offering since his chart-topping, award-winning fifth studio album, “Mayday” (released in May 2024). A Golden Guitar for Contemporary Album of the Year and widespread radio success cemented Casey’s place as a trailblazer in the Australian country music scene. Now, he’s poised to take his sound worldwide, propelled by an unshakable energy and unstoppable hooks that keep fans hooked from the first note to the last.
Casey talks about the new single: ‘Buy The Girl A Beer’ isn’t just about making a move at the bar, it’s about taking a shot in life. Whether it’s love, a dream, or an opportunity, you’ll never know what could happen unless you go for it. This song is that reminder to step up, take the risk, and see where it leads. We also leaned into that country-rock energy to make sure it hits hard, and I can’t wait for people to turn this one up loud.’
In addition to refining his global sonic footprint, Casey and Michael Chugg are thrilled to announce new US representation from Barry Coburn, one of Nashville’s foremost music industry executives. With a résumé that includes managing country icon Alan Jackson, guiding Keith Urban’s publishing, and serving as CEO/President of Atlantic Records Nashville, Coburn brings invaluable expertise to Casey’s team.
