ARTIST OVERVIEW

Jax Moore is a dynamic country artist hailing from Central Mississippi, leading a band of equally talented young musicians who blend traditional Southern roots with modern edge. Drawing from red dirt grit, 90s honkytonk, and a taste of classic rock, Jax delivers a sound that bridges generations — gritty enough for the old soul, smooth enough for new fans, and wild enough to bring the house down.

The band is made up of close-knit players, all between 21 and 23, with the kind of chemistry that only forms from countless hours onstage. Whether it’s a heartfelt ballad or a barn-burner, Jax and his band are known for putting it all out there — with energy, precision, and heart.

    LEAD GUITAR

     Tripp brings a firestorm of finesse to the stage with his chicken pickin’ precision and rock ‘n’ roll roots. Raised on classic rock and drawn to the grit of red dirt and honky-tonk country, he blends twang and tone like a veteran. Quiet and laid-back offstage, Tripp transforms the second he picks up a guitar — delivering mind-blowing licks and solos that leave crowds speechless.

    BASS

    Raised on traditional honkytonk and bluegrass, Caleb brings precision and pocket to the low end. His playing is rock-solid and clean, always serving the song with the kind of subtlety that holds everything together. While he keeps it cool onstage, when the crowd's vibing, Caleb lights up — matching the energy with infectious stage presence and a grin that says he's right where he belongs.

  • Calvin Malone, drummer for Jax Moore, performing live on stage during a drum solo.

    DRUMS

    A rock drummer turned country powerhouse, Calvin brings raw energy and heavy hands to the kit. His explosive playing style and sky-high energy turn every show into a full-blown party behind the drums. Calvin doesn’t just hold down the beat — he ignites the stage from the backline.

BEHIND THE SCENES

Backup Vocals: Jax handles lead vocals, but Calvin jumps in on backups when the vibe is right.

Gearhead: Tripp can’t leave the knobs alone. Pedals, amps — if it has tone, he’s chasing it.

Band Dad: No one’s fully qualified, but Jax and Tripp step up when it’s time to get serious.

The Clown & The Wild Card: Calvin’s the loud, funny one. Caleb? Quiet… but always up to something.

Socials: Jax runs the band’s social media. Content is fueled by chaos — and it works.

Rituals: Every show starts with a shot and a prayer. And whatever you do — don’t fall asleep with your boots on.

MUSICAL STYLE & INFLUENCES

Jax Moore’s sound is best described as southern rock with some twang. It pulls from the rough-and-ready energy of red dirt, the swagger of 90s honkytonk, and the polish of modern country. His music feels familiar, but never predictable — storytelling when it needs to be, rowdy when it counts.

Vocal influences include Cody Johnson, Justin Moore, and Brad Paisley — artists known for their balance of grit, showmanship, and sincerity. Jax’s voice is gritty yet smooth, raw but controlled, and carries that rare quality of sounding live even in the studio.

The band’s cover set reflects their versatility — Garth Brooks, Morgan Wallen, Cody Johnson, Luke Combs, and Big & Rich all show up in the setlist — but with the band’s signature energy injected into every performance.

SONGWRITING

Jax writes solo and co-writes with others, depending on the song. His lyrics are rooted in authenticity — drawing from personal experience, family, Southern culture, and the everyday highs and lows that come with small-town life.

His debut single, "Southern Born," is a heartfelt tribute to his grandfather, showcasing his ability to get personal without losing punch. But don’t get it twisted — the rowdy, beer-in-hand side is coming too. Jax’s writing balances meaning and momentum, honesty and energy.

LIVE SHOW EXPERIENCE

Tight. Polished. Electric. Jax Moore and his band play every show like they’re standing in front of 20,000 people — no matter the venue. Their chemistry, crowd focus, and explosive energy have become hallmarks of their performances.

For a couple hours, nothing else matters. They create an atmosphere that’s equal parts concert and connection. From the front row to the back wall, you’ll feel it.

VISION & FUTURE

Ask Jax where he’s headed, and he’ll tell you straight — the big stage. It’s not about hoping. It’s about working. For now, they’re proudly independent, focused on building something real — show by show, fan by fan. If a label deal comes, it’ll come. But they’re not waiting on anyone.

The dream? Simple. Make music people love. Pack out rooms. Build a life doing what they love — and if it turns into something bigger? That’s just the icing.
