American Aquarium at The Princess Theatre

American Aquarium to Bring High-Energy Country-Rock to the Princess Theatre on April 21

Decatur, AL — The historic Princess Theatre will welcome acclaimed country-rock band American Aquarium on Tuesday, April 21, for an evening of powerful songwriting and electrifying live performance.

For nearly two decades, American Aquarium has pursued a form of rock-and-roll that is both cathartic and deeply resonant. Frontman BJ Barham describes the band’s aim as capturing the moment when audiences are singing at the top of their lungs — only to realize later that the lyrics speak directly to their own lives. That balance of emotional honesty and driving energy has become the hallmark of the North Carolina-bred group.

Their latest album, The Fear of Standing Still, showcases the band’s signature blend of gritty country-rock and Barham’s most incisive songwriting to date. Known for a live show that hits with the force of a “freight train that never lets up,” the band pairs raw intensity with sweeping, anthemic soundscapes.

American Aquarium features BJ Barham (vocals, guitar), Shane Boeker (guitar), Neil Jones (pedal steel), Rhett Huffman (keys), Ryan Van Fleet (drums), and Alden Hedges (bass).

Join us for an unforgettable night of music that is as stirring as it is heartfelt — a performance that captures the spirit, grit, and storytelling tradition of American roots rock.

Presale to The Princess Theatre members will begin February 17. Public tickets will go on sale February 19. Day of show, doors will open at 6:00 p.m. with performance beginning at 7:00 p.m.
