Jacob Weldon // Jesco Payne and the Painkillers

https://www.facebook.com/jacob.weldon.music/

Growing up in Independence, Oregon, Jacob was inspired by the legendary acts of West Coast country music. He brings back a 90’s honky tonk sound with a touch of traditional flavor. Influenced by icons such as Buck Owens, Merle Haggard, and Dwight Yoakam, he strives to bring high-energy country music hearken to the days of the jumping dance halls of Texas and rowdy honky tonks of Bakersfield.

“I’ve always wanted bring the country music from my youth back while paying homage to the legends my father listened to” Jacob explained. “I have a lot of respect for traditional and outlaw country, but there was something missing between those bands and modern country music. That’s probably where I land. “

Taking influence from his Appalachian roots, Jesco Payne & the Painkillers sing songs that long for home, mourn lost love andglamorize the occasional rough and rowdy time through cathartic country music that pays homage to the pioneers of honky tonk and outlaw country.
