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 + Washington DC

Whiskey Myers brought their brand of outlaw country to Filene Center on a late August night, working through material that showed real range. They opened with the propulsive 'Gasoline' and settled into deeper cuts like 'Broken Window Serenade' and 'The Wolf' — songs that let the band stretch out and show why they've built such a devoted following. 'Trailer We Call Home' hit different in that outdoor setting, and closing with 'Going Down' felt like the right call for a DC crowd that clearly knew these songs.

Live Music in Washington DC

Washington's country scene is smaller than Nashville's or Austin's, but it's genuine. The city's got a blue-collar streak that actually connects with Texas country-rock, especially the grittier stuff Whiskey Myers does. Between the honky-tonks scattered around and the larger venues picking up country acts more often, there's real appetite for this kind of music here.

Washington DC road trip to see Whiskey Myers?

Stay in Georgetown or Capitol Hill, both walkable neighborhoods with excellent restaurants and bars. Book a table at Kinfolk in Capitol Hill for refined New American cooking, or head to Pineapple and Pearls for something more elaborate if you want to splurge. During the day, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden offers world-class contemporary art without the crowds of the main Smithsonians. Walk the C&O Canal towpath if the weather cooperates. Hit up one of the city's serious record shops like Smash! Records before the show.
