Ryan Upchurch: The Genre-Bending Rebel of Independent Music
Ryan Upchurch is making noise in a whole new lane with his rock band, The Dixielanders. After dominating country rap, he’s diving deep into southern rock with tracks like “Flame & Halo” and “Massacre,” showing fans a heavier, grittier side. This isn’t just a side hustle—it’s a full-blown genre shift. With roots in his Creeker albums, The Dixielanders prove Upchurch isn’t bound by labels—he’s rewriting the rules of independence, one riff at a time.
