About Whiskey Myers

Whiskey Myers are a five-piece country-rock band from Texas who've built a devoted following by doing the outlaw country thing without irony or apology. They landed on the mainstream radar in 2014 with their self-titled album, but "Broken Window Serenade" and "Wishful Thinkin'" are the songs that actually stuck with people—gritty, lived-in country that sounds like it was written in a bar at 2 AM. Their albums "Mud" and "Whiskey Myers" established them as one of the few contemporary country acts willing to get weird and rowdy instead of polished. They tour relentlessly, which is the only way they've survived in a country market increasingly hostile to their particular brand of authenticity. The band's strength is in their tightness as players and their refusal to chase trends. They're the kind of act that builds a rabid regional following first, then gradually convinces bigger audiences that country music doesn't have to be manufactured.

Their shows are sweaty, beery, and loud. Crowds get rowdy in a genuine way—not manufactured festival energy. The band feeds off it, extending songs, getting messier as the night goes on. You'll see a lot of standing room only crowds of people who actually know the words.

Whiskey Myers + Birmingham

Whiskey Myers rolled through Talladega Superspeedway in October 2025, bringing their blend of outlaw country and southern rock to a crowd that knew every word. They opened with "Gasoline" and kept the energy moving through deep cuts like "Broken Window Serenade" and "The Wolf," songs that showcase why they've built such a devoted following. The setlist hit the familiar notes—"Trailer We Call Home," "John Wayne"—but also dug into their catalog with tracks like "Feet's" and "Glitter Ain't Gold," proving they're not just recycling the hits. They closed with "Going Down," a fitting finale that sent people out satisfied.

Birmingham road trip to see Whiskey Myers?

Stay in Forest Park—tree-lined streets, restored homes, close to downtown without feeling generic. Eat at Chez Fon Fon for excellent French-Italian food in a real neighborhood setting, or Goro Ramen for something more casual but excellent. Spend an afternoon at the Birmingham Museum of Art, which is genuinely worth your time and free. Walk through the Pepper Place district afterward for galleries and coffee. The city's Civil Rights history is significant; the 16th Street Baptist Church is essential if you have the time and reflective headspace.
