Whiskey Myers

Whiskey Myers is a red dirt country band originally from Tyler, Texas. They are also a southern rock band and a pop-rock band that sometimes play rockabilly, but mostly they stick to their red dirt roots.

The band is made up of Cody Cannon, Cody Tate, John Jeffers, Gary Brown and Jeff Hogg. Cannon and Jeffers grew up together in Texas and Jeffers father taught them their first guitar chords. Cannon, Jeffers, and Tate formed the band Lucky Southern after Cannon and Tate started working together at a sporting goods store. 

The band moved to Tyler, Texas where Hogg joined the group after watching one of their acoustic shows and they asked someone from the crowd to sit in on drums. Needing only a bass player to fill out the band, Cannon brought in his cousin Gary Brown to fill the role.

The band shared a house in Tyler and played for college kids and whoever else wanted to listen. It was around this time that the band changed their name to Whiskey Myers. They say there is quite a good story behind the chosen name but won’t tell it. Whiskey Myers then started playing live shows and quickly became one of the hottest bands in Texas, opening for the likes of Eli Young Band and sharing the stage with Marshall Tucker Band, Cross Canadian Ragweed, and Randy Rogers Band.

Whiskey Myers isn't really your traditional red dirt country band considering their sound ranges anywhere from classic country to southern and more modern hard rock. That being said, they still keep their roots red dirt which is why I love them. I like that they are versitale and can branch out into different types of music all while making their sound even more unique.

Even though Whiskey Myers hasn’t been on the red dirt scene long, they have quickly become one of the top red dirt bands. With an ever evolving sound, it will be exciting to see what happens with them in the coming years.
