WHISKEY MYERS SURPRISED WITH FIVE NEW RIAA CERTIFICATIONS DURING “FOX & FRIENDS” ALL-AMERICAN SUMMER CONCERT SERIES PERFORMANCE

Lots of Bling: NEW YORK, NY. – While appearing live on the “Fox & Friends” All-American Summer Concert Series today, Aug. 9, genre-bending band Whiskey Myers added to their Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) hardware with a surprise presentation of five new Gold, Platinum and multi-Platinum certifications (denoted with asterisks below), bringing their total to nine RIAA-certified hits, a rare feat for an independent band. Their certified albums are listed below. The chart-topping band performed two of those Platinum-certified songs, “Bury My Bones” and “Broken Window Serenade,” as well as fan-favorite “Die Rockin'” plus “John Wayne” and “Feets” off their latest album, Tornillo, lauded by Forbes as “difficult to categorize or pigeonhole because it’s uniquely their own... constantly pushing the creative envelope,” with Saving Country Music declaring the album to be “unapologetic and attitudinal,” noting, “Tonrillo brings an energy, drive, pluck, and abandon most of modern music in this repressed era has vacated due to fear of reprisal. Rock music needs saving too, and Whiskey Myers is here to pick up the slack."

Whiskey Myers RIAA Certified Albums:

• “Stone” (2x Platinum)*
• “Bury My Bones” (Platinum)*
• “Ballad of a Southern Man” (Platinum)
• “Broken Window Serenade” (Platinum)
• Firewater (Gold)
