Sam Barber was born in the rural town of Frohna, Missouri and raised on his family's large ancestral farm. His father was a mechanic and his mother was a nurse. Barber didn't begin to learn to play music until he learned about his great-grandfather's music ability when he was 16. He then began songwriting. Before pursuing a career in music, he enrolled in the civil engineering program at the State Technical College of Missouri.
