The Ballard\nJourneay Show<\/strong> is an upcoming duo-fronted\ncountry band based out of the Jackson, Mississippi<\/strong> area; influenced by\nthe sounds of the Red Dirt Texas music scene, the blues of the Mississippi\nDelta, and the classic Outlaw Country movement of the 70s and 80s. Lead singers\nPatrick Ballard<\/strong> and Josh Journeay<\/strong>, both from Greenville<\/strong>,\nhave formed their own sound and beaming chemistry through years of playing in\nhonky tonks and dive bars together in Mississippi and the tri-state area. With\nsongs rich in tight vocal harmonies, bluesy guitar licks, driving rock n roll\nbeats, and old school story telling, there is no question that the boys\u2019 roots\nrun deep in their heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both Ballard and Journeay grew up in Greenville, eventually becoming roommates in a\ndouble wide trailer outside of Leland<\/strong>, Mississippi, where they began\nwriting and booking local shows together. In late 2016, Patrick would move to Nashville<\/strong>\nand Josh would move to Oxford<\/strong>, but the boys stayed in touch, still\nsending song ideas back and forth and making music together. In 2018, when Josh\nand Patrick both happened to move back home to Greenville, the idea of The\nBallard Journeay Show was sparked and the boys decided to pursue their dreams\ntogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now living in the Jackson<\/strong>, Mississippi area, they are recording,\nwriting, and booking shows together; with even bigger plans for the future.\nAfter the release of their debut single, \u201cColorado Koolaid\u201d on September 27,\n2019, The Ballard Journeay Show recently released their five-song EP Where\nYou From<\/em> featuring \u201cColorado Koolaid.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The live show highlights the impressive talent of the band, with a crowd captivating show comprised of many country classics and red dirt hits, along with original songs layering the set with authenticity you will only experience live at a Ballard Journeay Show. With the high energy and smooth transitions of this four-piece, folks from all over enjoy getting off their seats and on their feet towards the dance floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
