Hailing from Truckee, California, Everyday Outlaw delivers hard-hitting, modern outlaw country steeped in grit, heartache, and raw honesty. With a sound built on songwriting craft and analog warmth, they channel the spirit of the legends — think Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard, and Sturgill Simpson — while forging their own path through the backroads of Americana.

Their songs dig into the darker corners of love, loss, and life on the edge, with a voice that’s unflinching and unfiltered. Whether in a barroom dive or on a festival stage, Everyday Outlaw brings an authenticity that’s impossible to fake — because they’ve lived every word they sing.

 

This isn’t country music for the polished or pristine. It’s for the weathered, the worn, and the wide awake at 2 a.m., staring down the truth and still standing tall.

Jake Zender brings a deep, commanding baritone, backed by Mark McCay on high harmonies and pedal steel, and Morgan Hargrave on telecaster leads and rhythm guitar. The rhythm section — Mike Young on drums and Cody Brouwers on bass — keeps everything tight and driving.
