Johnny Mullenax Band at Brickyard

Johnny Mullenax returns to Wichita on Thursday May 15th with a full band performance downtown under the stars at the Brickyard! This red hot electric bluegrass band is bursting onto the international scene and we couldn't be more excited to have them back. Doors open at 8pm. Local support TBA.

Johnny Mullenax, a Tulsa native, grew up in a musical family. He started playing the guitar at age 5. In his teens, he followed his family to the Walnut Valley Festival in Winfield, Kansas. In typical Johnny fashion, he showed up with just a guitar and ended up sleeping in a standup base case. At 18, he used a friend’s ID to get into a club where he was part of a live hip hop band backing rappers. According to Johnny,“Life is too short to play one style of music, and if you have an opportunity to try something different then you should give it a shot.” Claiming wide-ranging influences from AC/DC and The Ramones to John Coltrane andParliament, Johnny calls his genre bending sound a funky country bluegrass good time for working folks.
