Whiskey Myers in Salt Lake City

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 + Salt Lake City

Whiskey Myers rolled through Sandy Amphitheater in August 2022, delivering a set that leaned into their storytelling roots. They opened with "John Wayne" and spent the evening toggling between hard-charging rockers like "Gasoline" and deeper cuts that showed their range—"Virginia" landed differently than their usual fare, and "Ballad of a Southern Man" proved they can do introspection without losing the grit. The Salt Lake City crowd got the full treatment: eighteen songs that moved from country-rock swagger to genuine moments of restraint. "Stone" and "Refugee" closed things out, leaving the kind of finish that sticks with you.

Live Music in Salt Lake City

Salt Lake City's country scene has quietly grown over the past decade, though it's historically leaned toward folk and indie rock. Whiskey Myers brings a grittier, more amplified take on country-rock that should push against the grain a bit here. The city's outdoor venue culture and younger demographic could be fertile ground for their Southern-fried swagger.

Salt Lake City road trip to see Whiskey Myers?

Stay in the Avenues neighborhood—tree-lined streets with actual character, close enough to downtown but removed from the noise. For dinner, Lazy Dog in Sugar House serves exceptional Colorado lamb and maintains a wine list that doesn't insult your intelligence. Spend an afternoon at the Natural History Museum of Utah in Red Butte Canyon; the building itself is architecturally stunning and the collection gives real context to the landscape you're actually standing in. The city's proximity to actual mountains matters when you've got downtime.
