Founded by lead singer and guitarist BJ Barham, the group is made up of drummer Ryan Van Fleet, guitarist Shane Boeker, pedal steel guitar player Neil Jones, bassist Alden Hedges and keys player Rhett Huffman. American Aquarium created an alternative country rock sound paying homage to its place of origin, North Carolina. Between the release of its first album, Antique Hearts, in 2006 to the release of its ninth studio album, Chicamacomico, in 2022, American Aquarium has gained a strong following in the national music scene.
