Chart-Topping Band to Headline the Iconic Venue on June 6
Tickets on Sale February 23 at 10 a.m. Local Time
Brand New Single “John Wayne” Available Now
Highly-Anticipated Sixth Studio Album Tornillo Set for July 29 Release
On the heels of Friday’s announcement of a brand new album set for release this summer, Gold-certified renegades Whiskey Myers announce their debut at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre with a headlining show planned for June 6. Tickets go on sale to the public this Thursday, Feb. 23, at 10 a.m. local time via WhiskeyMyers.com.
“For as long as we’ve been performing, Red Rocks has been one of those iconic, bucket list venues that you dream of playing someday,” reflects frontman Cody Cannon. “As much fun as we’ve had in the studio creating this new record, those moments on the road feeling the energy of our fans are the moments we live for; so this is going to be an incredible night.”
The announcement follows the band’s recent announcement of a full Tornillo Tour, set to run April through August and including a debut at the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival this summer.
The tour is named for their self-produced sixth studio album, Tornillo, which itself earns its title for the border town that is home to the 2,300-acre Sonic Ranch studio where the band spent 21 days crafting the project. Set for release on July 29 via their own Wiggy Thump Records with distribution by Thirty Tigers, the new album sees the six-piece band build upon their solid decade-plus foundation while further exploring new sonic landscapes. Listen to lead single “John Wayne” HERE and pre-order/pre-save the album HERE.
Presale access to the Red Rocks Amphitheatre date and all Tornillo Tour stops is available now for members of the “Official Whiskey Myers Fans” Facebook page. Additionally, Spotify will give the band’s biggest fans on the platform early access beginning this Wednesday, Feb. 23, at 10 a.m. local time.
Whiskey Myers also recently announced that their personally curated Firewater Music Festival will return for a second year, taking place Sept. 29 – Oct. 1, 2022 just outside Kansas City. For more information and to purchase ticket packages, visit FirewaterMusicFestival.com.

About Whiskey Myers
Genre-bending band Whiskey Myers have played more than 2,500 live shows to ever-increasing crowd sizes since their emergence in 2007. Their forthcoming self-produced album, Tornillo, set for release July 29, follows their self-produced fifth studio album, WHISKEY MYERS, out now on the band’s own Wiggy Thump Records. WHISKEY MYERS debuted at No. 1 on both the Country and Americana/Folk sales charts, at No. 2 on the Rock chart and No. 6 on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart (No. 3 among new releases). Their previous album, Mud, reached No. 1 on the iTunes country chart with single “Stone” hitting Top 10 all genre. In total, Whiskey Myers have sold more than 1.2 million albums and amassed over 1.5 billion streams while earning three RIAA Gold certifications. USA Today describes the band led by frontman Cody Cannon as “a riff-heavy blend of Southern rock and gritty country that has earned comparisons to the Allman Brothers Band and Led Zeppelin,” with Rolling Stone noting “it’s the seminal combination of twang and crunchy rock & roll guitars that hits a perfect sweet spot.” The band known for their high-energy live show and unique sound has also earned sync success with features (and an on-screen appearance) in Paramount Network’s Kevin Costner hit show “Yellowstone” as well as the Renée Zellweger-led Netflix series “What/If,” the Angelina Jolie film “Those Who Wish Me Dead” and hit CBS series “SEAL Team.”
