John PayCheck

Son of country legend Johnny PayCheck, and the only heir to the family name, John PayCheck established a deep-rooted appreciation for the traditional country sound while growing up around the music. Born in 1976 in Nashville, Tennessee, John spent the summers of his childhood on a tour bus working in his father’s band. It was during this time that he picked up his unique perspective of life on the road and the music business. John’s love for music developed at an early age, as he learned a variety of brass and reed instruments as well as the guitar. With influences like Bob Wills, Hank Williams, George Strait and Clint Black, John’s debut album, “We All Have a Story,” is a collection of songs that blend the songwriting style of storytelling and wild escapades with the sentiment of life’s experiences. John brings his own style that is far from that of his father, but is etched with the traditional sounds of pedal steel, fiddle, acoustic and telecaster guitars. You will hear the catchy melodies of 90s country and the lonesome howl of the genre's originators. And, if you listen closely, you might catch a hint of that PayCheck family tone, or the bending of notes, like his father before him.
