The Whiskey Myers Story

Whiskey Myers started like countless rock bands before them — a group of friends learning to play in a small Texas town, dreaming of something bigger. In the early 2000s, Cody Cannon and John Jeffers started jamming together in East Texas, drawing inspiration from the sounds of Lynyrd Skynyrd, Waylon Jennings, and The Allman Brothers Band. They were eventually joined by Cody Tate on guitar, and the core of Whiskey Myers was born.

The band cut their teeth playing flatbed trailers at private parties, small clubs, and honky-tonks across Texas. Their 2008 debut Road of Life established their sound, but it was their relentless touring that built their devoted fan base. Album by album — Firewater (2011), Early Morning Shakes (2014), Mud (2016) — they expanded from Texas to the national stage, all while remaining fiercely independent on their own Wiggy Thump Records label.

Today, the band consists of six members: Cody Cannon (lead vocals, acoustic guitar), John Jeffers (lead guitar, slide guitar, lap steel), Cody Tate (rhythm guitar), Jeff Hogg (drums), Tony Kent (percussion, keyboards), and Jamey Gleaves (bass). Together, they've sold over 2.4 million albums, amassed 3.6 billion streams, and earned nine RIAA certifications including Gold, Platinum, and multi-Platinum records. Learn more at whiskeymyers.com.

The Yellowstone Breakthrough

In 2018, Whiskey Myers' trajectory changed forever when creator Taylor Sheridan featured their music in the hit Paramount series Yellowstone. The band didn't just contribute to the soundtrack — they appeared on-screen in Season 1, Episode 4, performing "Stone" during an iconic scene where Beth and Rip share a slow dance. The moment became a fan favorite, and overnight, Whiskey Myers went from regional heroes to national stars.

"We never had the opportunity to have a platform to reach millions and millions of people at one time," Cannon reflected. "It was pretty overwhelming, pretty life-changing." Following that episode, the band's entire back catalog shot into iTunes' Top 10 country albums, with Mud hitting #1. Sheridan himself praised the band, saying they're "generating some of the most exciting music in the country genre — and rock, for that matter."

Since then, Whiskey Myers has graduated from theaters to arenas, headlining iconic venues like Red Rocks Amphitheatre and Ryman Auditorium. They were even hand-picked to open for The Rolling Stones at their 2019 Chicago stadium show — a bucket-list moment for any rock band. Follow their journey on Instagram and Facebook.

The Live Experience

If you've seen Whiskey Myers live, you know there's nothing quite like it. The band brings an intensity that can't be faked — dual lead guitars trading licks, Cannon's gravelly vocals cutting through the mix, and a rhythm section that hits with the force of a Texas thunderstorm. They play like every show could be their last, leaving everything on the stage night after night.

Concert reviews consistently praise the band's musicianship and energy. Fans describe shows as "the best concert I've ever seen" and "what live rock and roll should be." The band's setlists mix deep cuts with crowd favorites, and they're known for extending songs into improvisational jams that make each performance unique. For the Southern Hospitality Tour 2026, expect nothing less than a full-throttle rock experience from start to finish.
