The Johnny Mullenax Band has been turning some heads and pleasing some ears down South. Check out this great review!
Tonight they play at the legendary Billy Bob’s Texas opening for The Turnpike Troubadours!

Well deserved. Break a leg boys! 🤠

Take the twang and taste of country, the speed of bluegrass, the blazing improvisation of jazz, and you have something that’s utterly transcendental, while still feeling grounded in the roots.
