SO WHAT'S ALL THE HYPE ABOUT?
Consisting of brothers Eric & Alec Poore, alongside close friends Cody Maxey, Blake Phelps, Connor Wilson, and Justin Conn, Paint Creek has spent the last two years taking the Kentucky music scene by storm. Hailing from the foothills of Appalachia & boasting a resume that includes opening credits for RIAA Certified Gold artist Trey Lewis (“D*cked Down in Dallas”) and multi-Grammy Award nominee James Otto (“Just Got Started Loving You”), Paint Creek is now garnering recognition in their own right. They secured a 2022 nomination for Lexington’s ABC 36 News Viewer's Choice Award for Best Music Act as well as a 2023 nomination for Country Act of the Year at the 9th Annual Lexington Music Awards.
Paint Creek brings to the stage a high energy show paired with the talent and setlist that is guaranteed to captivate an audience of any age. Seamlessly transitioning from today’s favorites like Luke Combs, Chris Stapleton, and Morgan Wallen to yesterday’s legends like Brooks and Dunn, Merle Haggard, and Lynyrd Skynyrd is a hallmark of any Paint Creek show. With their own growing catalog of original music quickly garnering fans for its eclectic sound and relatable lyrics, Paint Creek is quickly becoming a recognized and sought-after name.

OUR STORY
A Family Affair
Paint Creek began as brother-duo Eric and Alec Poore in 2020. Playing private parties and the local pub in their hometown of Williamsburg, Kentucky, led to the brothers beginning to gather a quiet following for their distinctive family harmonies and young, fresh sound.
In 2021, two became four when longtime friend Cody Maxey and London, Kentucky, native Blake Phelps joined the group. The band's current iteration, including guitarist Connor ("Willie") Wilson and bassist Justin Conn, has been playing together since 2022.
