Early Morning Shakes
Whiskey Myers makes honest music.
Loud and proud, they sing about what they know with a refreshing directness and clarity. Some call it rebel
music, but it s more like everyday soul. Their songs are stories, with relatable characters and situations.
Stories of celebration, of mourning, of trials and triumph. Through the quality of these songs, and the
band s undeniable power in concert and on record, Whiskey Myers has attracted a devoted army of
outspoken fans who pack venues, sing the band s praises online, and continue to make them a growing
word-of-mouth sensation.
And now, they stand poised to unleash the thrilling Early Morning Shakes upon the world. Available on
February 4, 2014 through the band s own Wiggy Thump imprint, their latest full-length was recorded with
noted producer Dave Cobb (whose credits include Jamey Johnson, Jason Isbell, and both Waylon and
Shooter Jennings) and represents the culmination of years of dedication, experimentation, and refinement.
Visceral and dynamic, the album s 12 songs encompass an impressive range of perspectives and emotions
while finding the band s musicianship honed to a razor s edge. And though Early Morning Shakes is a
great step forward creatively, it s an organic one. As guitarist John Jeffers explains, Staying true to
ourselves and to our music has gotten us to the point we re at. We really wanted to continue on that same
track.
