The Pershing Listening Room Welcomes: Johnny Mullenax

Johnny Mullenax

Brings His Genre-Bending Sound to Pershing Hall!

Live at Pershing Hall – May 2nd, 2026

There are artists who play music—and then there are artists who blur the lines entirely. Johnny Mullenax falls firmly in the second category.

A Tulsa native who picked up a guitar at just five years old, Mullenax grew up immersed in music and never really left it behind. From early performances with his family to years spent touring as a sideman, he’s built his sound the long way—on stages, in jam sessions, and alongside some of the best musicians in the scene.

A Sound That Doesn’t Sit Still

Trying to pin down Johnny Mullenax to one genre is kind of the point—you can’t.

His music lives somewhere between bluegrass, country, funk, and rock, stitched together with improvisation and serious musicianship. He describes it as a “funky country bluegrass good time,” pulling influence from artists as wide-ranging as AC/DC, The Ramones, John Coltrane, and Parliament. (warpathgroup.com)

If you’re a fan of artists like Billy Strings, jam bands, or anything that leans into high-energy, genre-bending live shows, this is your lane.

Built for the Stage

Mullenax has spent the last decade sharpening his live performance—earning a reputation for electric, unpredictable sets that feel more like a communal experience than a traditional concert. (LUXIERE Magazine)

His long-running Bluegrass Brunch residency in Tulsa became a local phenomenon, drawing packed crowds and a rotating cast of top-tier musicians.

Now, he’s taking that same energy on the road—festival appearances, touring across the U.S. and internationally, and quickly becoming one of the most exciting rising acts in the scene.

One Night in Austin

On Saturday, May 2, Johnny Mullenax brings that energy to Pershing Hall for a one-night-only performance.

This isn’t the kind of show you casually “catch next time.” With a growing buzz, a rapidly expanding tour schedule, and a live show that thrives in intimate rooms, this is exactly the moment to see him before things get a lot bigger.

If you like live music that feels raw, unpredictable, and genuinely fun—this is it.
