Ellis Bullard
In the wake of 2024’s Honky Tonk Ain’t Noise Pollution, Ellis Bullard has left no doubt that country music is still yearning for the true-blue honky-tonk experience he brings to the stage and studio. Listen to Bullard, and you’re listening to a life of barnstorming,hard living, and layers of musical influences. His 2024 itinerary included headlining shows in dance halls and clubs from coast to coast and top billing at the historic Festival Country De Crappone in France.
Ellis kicked off 2025 at the Mile 0 Festival in Key West this past anuary. “I’m just a person, just a guy out there having a good time and trying to make sure other people are too,” Bullard says. “I give my time to people, and I think that means a lot to them. I’m genuinely trying to forge relationships and have meaningful interactions with all the fans I meet on the road.” After sharing the stage with Texas mainstays like Cody Jinks, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Jason Boland, Reckless Kelly, Randy Rogers, and Whiskey Myers, Bullard has become his own. For his part, Bullard knows he’s on to something, and he’s enjoying the ride.

John Paycheck
John PayCheck, son of country music legend Johnny PayCheck, embodies tradition while forging his own path in the industry. He grew up surrounded by legends, with music ingrained in his everyday life. John’s musical journey began humbly as a roadie, where he learned about the business while traveling with his father.
Two major events diverted him from music temporarily: his father's passing in 2003 led him to explore other passions in firefighting and technology, and the events of 9/11 spurred him to serve his country as an Army aviator. John still serves as a Reserve Army Officer in Europe. Despite his hiatus, music remained a constant thread in his life, drawing him back after 20 years.
As a combat veteran, farmer, and devoted family man, John’s return to music was fueled by industry support and the encouragement of fellow country music legacy kids. A CMA member and BMI songwriter, his first single “Lone Stars” charted on radio, a significant milestone in his career. With a unique vocal style and deep-rooted appreciation for classic country, he continues his family's legacy while embracing the genre's evolution. As the next generation of PayCheck emerges, John stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of country music and the profound bond with his father.
“I have worked hard at everything I’ve ever done. Even still, I know I’m lucky and fortunate. I want to make the folks who have helped me along the way proud. I want to bring honor to my family, and make certain that those who love my music are happy to say they are a John PayCheck fan.” - John PayCheck
