Whiskey Myers in Cincinnati

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.

Known for Broken Window Serenade, Wishful Thinkin', San Angelo, Coyote

Live Music in Cincinnati

Cincinnati's got a weird relationship with country music — it's there, but it's never been the dominant sound like it is down South. The city's built on rock, funk, and hip-hop history, which means when country acts come through, they tend to be the ones unafraid to bend the genre. Whiskey Myers fit that profile perfectly. Their brand of Texas country-rock has enough edge to appeal beyond the traditional country crowd, which plays well in a city that appreciates artists who don't fit neatly into one lane.

Cincinnati road trip to see Whiskey Myers?

Stay in Hyde Park, Cincinnati's most elegant neighborhood, with tree-lined streets and restored Victorian homes. Dinner at The Eagle—a fine dining spot that takes Southern cooking seriously—pairs well with Stapleton's sensibility. Spend your afternoon at the Cincinnati Art Museum or walking the grounds at Spring Grove Cemetery, one of America's most beautiful cemeteries. Both offer quiet reflection before heading to the show. If you have time, catch the view from Skyline Chili's main location; the city panorama is worth the detour, even if the food is divisive.
