Ryan Upchurch, the artist best known for his unique blend of comedy and southern rap, also dubbed as "hick-hop," is set to perform at the Majestic Theatre in San Antonio. As reported by Fox San Antonio, the event is scheduled for March 30 and will feature a lineup of artists including Broduax, JJ Longhorn, and t2, turning the Majestic into what's sure to be a foot-stomping hotspot.
This latest gig is part of Upchurch's "Tune In Tour," which is hitting several southern cities, adding San Antonio to its musical road trip. Riding high as an RIAA certified platinum-selling artist, Upchurch has stormed the charts with five albums claiming spots in the top 10 of the Billboard US Country Music charts, not exactly what you'd expect from a comedian making a name with cheeky online videos.
Getting his start in Pegram, Tennessee, the man behind Upchurch the Redneck charmed his way into the spotlight before taking a serious tun with his career. As detailed by Do210, Upchurch began showcasing his rap skills in 2014 and hasn't looked back since. After breaking into the music scene with his "hick-hop" sound, he later revealed a softer side with "Where It All Went Down," a track showcasing his vocals rather than his rapping prowess.
Fans have grown to appreciate his serious musical work despite his beginnings as a joke. With a range of music styles from rap to modern country, his dual persona attracts a diverse fan base. San Antonio is his next stop, and with his lively stage presence, the Majestic Theatre will surely be lively on March 30.
