PALESTINE, Texas – Multi-Platinum band Whiskey Myers returns to their roots with the seventh annual Wiggy Thump Festival set for May 10, 2025 in Palestine, Texas. Featuring performances by the hometown hosts themselves as well as Blackberry Smoke, Reid Haughton & Kenny McCann and the Painted Desert Band, this year’s event continues the tradition of supporting the local Anderson County Youth Livestock Association and builds upon the more than $200,000 raised for the cause to date. Tickets are on sale now via WhiskeyMyers.com.
“Wiggy Thump is always a special time for us – bringing it back home, seeing the fans who have been with us since day one and giving back to the community that raised us,” reflects lead singer Cody Cannon. “Every year it gets bigger and better, and we can’t wait to share this one with y’all.”
In addition to the festival, Whiskey Myers recently announced 14 co-headlining dates with the Tedeschi Trucks Band as part of the Live in 25 Tour, spanning cities from the Pacific Northwest and California to the Midwest and Northeast this summer. The band praised by Esquire as “the real damn deal” will also perform across several prominent festivals including the San Antonio Rodeo, Stagecoach, Tailgate N’ Tallboys and more, plus the band’s own personally-curated Moon Crush “Whiskey Moon” music vacation taking place November 7-9, 2025 in Miramar Beach, Fla. (additional context HERE).
Fans catching Whiskey Myers live in 2025 are likely to hear brand new music from the band, who have kicked off 2025 with a series of behind-the-scenes photos from the studio. Their forthcoming seventh studio album builds on 2022’s Tornillo, which featured “John Wayne,” one of the most-played Americana songs that year and their preceding self-titled project which debuted at No. 1 on both the Country and Americana/Folk sales charts while also landing at No. 2 on the Rock chart.

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. In addition to headlining their own sold-out shows from coast to coast at iconic venues such as Red Rocks Amphitheatre and Ryman Auditorium, plus performing at marquee festivals Bonnaroo, Stagecoach, Download and more, the six-piece was also personally selected to open The Rolling Stones’ Chicago stadium show in 2019. Their latest self-produced album, Tornillo, available everywhere now via the band’s own Wiggy Thump Records, features the No. 17 most-played Americana song of 2022, “John Wayne,” and follows their fifth studio album, Whiskey Myers, which 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). In total, Whiskey Myers have sold more than 2.3 million albums and amassed over 3.3 billion streams while earning nine RIAA Gold, Platinum and multi-Platinum certifications as an independent band. Known for their high-energy live show and unique sound, the band praised by Esquire as “the real damn deal” has also earned sync success in Paramount’s hit shows “Yellowstone” and “Landman,” Netflix series “What/If,” Angelina Jolie film “Those Who Wish Me Dead” and CBS series “SEAL Team,” among others. USA Today describes their sound 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.”
