About this Event
John PayCheck, son of country music legend Johnny Paycheck, embodies the traditions of country music while forging his own path in the industry. John’s musical journey began humbly as a roadie, where he learned about the business while traveling with his father and surrounded by legends. Music was ingrained into his everyday life as a result.
However, two major events diverted him from music temporarily; the tragedy of 9/11 spurred him to serve his country as an Army aviator, followed by his father’s passing in 2003, which led him to explore passions in firefighting and technology. John still serves as a Reserve Army Officer in Europe, but despite his temporary hiatus, music remained a constant thread in his life, drawing him back 20 years later.
As a combat veteran, farmer, and devoted family man, John’s return to music has been fueled by industry support and the encouragement of fellow country music legacy artists. His first single “Lone Stars” from his debut album, We All Have a Story, charted on Music Row, a significant milestone in his career. He has written songs with Erin Enderlin and Scott Gabbey, and is a CMA member and BMI songwriter. John has shared the stage with Chris Janson, Confederate Railroad, Dallas Moore and others and was invited to perform at the Grand Ole Opry in May of 2024 to honor his father on Opry Country Classics.
With a unique vocal style and deep-rooted appreciation for classic country, he continues the Paycheck family legacy while embracing the genre’s evolution. John stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of country music and the profound bond he still has with his father. John is building his own career despite the shadow of his father’s, and he’s excited to be a part of his own journey to see what the future holds.
