Whiskey Myers Set to Launch New Album in September
Whiskey Myers is gearing up for the launch of their seventh studio album, “Whomp Whack Thunder,” scheduled to hit the shelves on September 26, produced under their independent label, Wiggy Thump Records. The album’s leading single, “Time Bomb,” is already available for fans to enjoy in anticipation of the full album release.
The group, consisting of Cody Cannon (vocals, guitar), John Jeffers (guitar), Cody Tate (guitar), Jamey Gleaves (bass), Jeff Hogg (drums), and Tony Kent (percussion, piano), infuses their music with the timeless essence of classic rock but through a contemporary Southern perspective. Renowned producer Jay Joyce has overseen the creation of this album, which showcases eleven tracks solely written by Cody Cannon himself.
Speaking on the album’s creation, John Jeffers shares, “We didn’t set out to chase a specific sound – we set out to make a Whiskey Myers record. Jay was able to draw out something raw and genuine from us, imbuing every track with an element of our collective experiences. This album delves into our journey, our lived realities, and the battle scars we’ve earned along the way – making ‘Whomp Whack Thunder’ quite possibly our boldest offering yet.”
Fans eager to get a taste of the new music can catch a preview on the upcoming “What We Were Born To Do Tour,” commencing on June 6 and spanning numerous cities across the United States throughout the summer. Whiskey Myers is also set to co-headline a series of shows with Tedeschi Trucks Band under the “Live in 25 Tour” banner later this year. Additionally, the band will host its own exclusive festivals, including the seventh annual Wiggy Thump Festival on May 10 in their hometown of Palestine, Texas, and the debut of the Moon Crush “Whiskey Moon” music retreat in Miramar Beach, Florida, from November 7-9.
