Whiskey Myers in Sacramento

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

Whiskey Myers + Sacramento

Whiskey Myers rolled through Ace of Spades in April 2019 and delivered the kind of set that justifies their cult following. They leaned hard into their catalog's slower, meaner side—"Mud" and "Headstone" hit different in a packed room, the kind of songs that make you remember why you showed up. "Trailer We Call Home" got the kind of quiet that only happens when a band has you locked in. They closed with "Stone," which felt like the right way to leave people standing there.

Live Music in Sacramento

Sacramento's country music scene is more alt-country and roots-oriented than strictly traditional. It's a place where honky-tonk sits comfortably next to Americana and outlaw country. Whiskey Myers' rough-edged, boozy brand of Texas country should fit into that fabric pretty naturally—they're the kind of band that appeals to people who like their country with some actual dirt on it.
