Summary
This week on Whiskey Riff Raff, we sit down with rising country artist Ty Myers to talk about what it’s really like blowing up at just 18 years old. From writing nearly all of his songs in his childhood bedroom to navigating life on the road while still living with his parents, Ty opens up about the pressure, the chaos, and the growth that comes with early success.
We get into his fear of evolving his sound and whether fans will follow, what it’s like being an “old soul” who started writing full songs at just 7 years old, and the wild energy of his shows filled with young, passionate fans. Ty also shares how he balances the party lifestyle of touring while staying grounded.
Plus, we talk about his brand new album, collaborating with Marcus King, and how artists like John Mayer have shaped his sound and inspired where he’s headed next.
It’s an honest look at a young artist figuring it out in real time and building something that’s entirely his own.
