Whiskey Meyers is a southern rock/country band from Palestine, Texas. The group is made up of Cody Cannon (lead vocals and acoustic guitar), John Jeffers (lead guitar, slide guitar, lap steel guitar, vocals), Cody Tate (lead and rhythm guitar, vocals), Jeff Hogg (drums), Tony Kent (percussion/drums), and Gary Brown (bass, but no longer with the band).

The band started when friends Cody Cannon and John Jeffers began learning guitar together, inspired by the music of artists like Lynyrd Skynyrd and Waylon Jennings. After being joined by Cannon’s co-worker and friend Cody Tate, they began calling themselves “Lucky Southern.” After playing together for a while, the three decided to start a more serious band and change their name. They got their friend Jeff Hogg to play drums and asked Cannon’s cousin, Gary Brown, to play bass. They began playing shows around their hometown and native state of Texas, slowly starting to build a following base.

You might’ve heard the name before because they have played here during Labor Day weekend at the rodeo beer tent. I just recently got the chance to go to a concert of theirs, and I was not disappointed. If you like rock or country music, don’t be sleeping on these guys.
