JAKE BANFIELD RELEASES NEW SUMMER ANTHEM “SUNBURN”
Oklahoma-born genre-bender Jake Banfield touches down in Australia for the very first time this week — and the timing couldn’t be more perfect.“ Sunburn: ,” the follow-up to his single “Lasso,” which hit #1 on Australian Country Radio in late 2025, showcases Jake’s signature sound: a genre-blending fusion of country roots, pop accessibility and alternative edge, all wrapped in honest, emotionally resonant storytelling.Raised on ’80s hair bands, ’90s hip-hop, old-school rap and country music from every era, Jake grew up with tastes that were never confined to one lane. Before stepping into the spotlight himself, Banfield carved out an impressive early career writing for major pop names including Madison Beer, Little Mix and Anne-Marie. After moving to Nashville and reconnecting with his roots, he rediscovered his own voice — and a renewed love for blending genres with emotion and swagger unlike anything else in country music right now.Following his 2025 record Open Bars — a heartfelt, hook-heavy release packed with big feelings and even bigger bangers, weaving elements of hip-hop, rap and pop into a country framework without ever losing its authenticity — Banfield is now set to hit Australia for The Lasso Australian Tour. Marking his official Australian debut, the tour brings his signature blend of heartfelt songwriting and modern country swagger to fans across five unmissable dates this January.
