Known for his raw, honest songwriting and high-energy live shows, Upchurch brings more than just music to the stage—he brings stories, soul, and a sense of purpose. But before that major milestone, he’s excited to reconnect with fans at The Camp – a venue he describes as one of his favorites
In his recent appearance on the Midwest Mixtape Podcast, Austin reflects on his career, upcoming shows, and the values that guide his musical journey. The conversation touched on everything from recalling a pivotal moment when William Clark Green’s advice inspired him to quit drinking and refocus his life and career to his upcoming arena show with Treaty Oak Revival at Chaifetz Arena in St. Louis on July 12th.
A strong believer in the power of live, organic performances, Austin strives to make every show feel truly unique. He intentionally avoids overly programmed sets in favor of spontaneous, real-time moments that create a genuine connection with his audience. Austin also spoke candidly about the challenges and rewards of balancing his music career with family life, noting that recent shifts in his pace have allowed for more time at home which has resulted in writing more songs. He teased the possibility of skipping a traditional EP release in favor of jumping straight into a full-length album, citing a wealth of unreleased material that’s ready to go.
This weekend’s performance at The Camp at Lake Wappapello promises a mix of fan favorites and fresh new songs, delivered with Austin’s trademark grit and gratitude.
