Meet The Band
Hailing from the wide-open plains of South Dakota and now calling Nashville home, Zeona Road has always been about family, music, and connection. What started as a small-town dream grew into a band known for its fiery blend of country, rock, and soul—and a reputation for lighting up every stage they step on.
Though each member has branched into exciting individual projects, Zeona Road continues to come together for a select number of shows each year. Those moments are magic—proof that the band’s bond and their love of live music runs deep. Whether it’s a high-energy festival crowd or an intimate corporate gathering, Zeona Road brings heart, harmony, and a good-time spirit that leaves audiences smiling long after the last note.
Eva has been pursuing a solo career in Nashville, TN. She can often be found at Dierks Bentley's Whiskey Row on Broadway with Payton and ripping it up on a keytar.. She has been releasing new music under the name EVA MAXINE and it is available to stream everywhere!
Payton Jerde is the driving low end of Zeona Road and a true South Dakota original. When he’s not on stage, you’ll find him ranching buffalo back home—trading bass lines for big skies. Known for his tall, commanding presence and easygoing charm, Payton holds down the groove in front of thousands every weekend on Nashville’s famed Broadway alongside Eva and other artists. Both on and off the stage, he brings a mix of grit, talent, and heart that makes him unforgettable.
Emmy Jerde is a hard-hitting multi-instrumentalist from South Dakota whose sound blurs the lines between country grit and rock ’n’ roll fire. She’s taken the stage at the CMT Awards, laid down tracks heard on Netflix, and now tears it up on tour with country powerhouse Grammy Award winning Gretchen Wilson. A Musician of the Year nominee at the iHeart Radio Rocky Mountain Country Music Awards, Emmy brings raw energy, fierce fiddle solos, and unapologetic stage presence that leave every crowd wanting more. When it’s time to turn it loose, there’s only one way to say it: #fiddleup.
