Johnny Dioxide

Step into orbit with Johnny Dioxide, Austin’s own intergalactic space cowboy and creator of the “Ghost Rock” sound — a fusion of haunting melodies, breezy rhythms, and a dash of western soul.

Hailing from the Chicago area and now based in Central Texas, Johnny Dioxide (the alter-ego of Chase Risinger) brings a cinematic energy to every performance — think desert starlight, neon dust, and vintage sci-fi flair. His acclaimed project blends cosmic storytelling with the grit of a Texas road tune, creating a sound that’s equal parts psychedelic, outlaw, and ethereal.

Join us downstairs at The Brass Peacock for this special mid-week set — where the atmosphere glows in brass tones and starlight, and the soundtrack rides somewhere between the open range and outer space.
