BARTLY
Summary
BARTLY is an Austin-based soul-Americana artist whose commanding vocals and emotionally resonant songwriting position him at the forefront of Texas’s next wave of breakout talent. Blending the raw storytelling of Americana with the polish and groove of modern soul — infused with a contemporary indie-rock edge — he draws comparisons to Chris Stapleton, Marcus King, Leon Bridges, and Bruno Mars while carving out a sound distinctly his own. A recent American Idol Golden Ticket winner, BARTLY is rapidly expanding his national footprint. He has represented Jack Daniel’s at Willie Nelson’s ranch during Luck Reunion’s Look West festival, and partnered with YETI during Formula 1 weekend. His festival appearances include Utopia Fest alongside Sir Woman, Butcher Brown, and Ghostland Observatory, the Main Stage at the historic Pecan Street Festival, and this year’s SXSW. He has been featured twice on FOX7’s Good Morning Austin and is set to perform at Rodeo Austin. With high-profile brand partnerships, major Texas stages, and national television exposure converging, BARTLY is establishing himself as one of Austin’s most compelling and market-ready emerging artists.
