Myers is selling out venues on his first headlining tour
At 17, Ty Myers is country music’s newest and youngest crooner. The TikTok heartthrob brought his sold-out Select Tour to The House of Blues in Anaheim, California on Friday (May 23rd) with an impressive 90-minute set of songs he wrote that could give any veteran songwriter a run for their money.
With mature themes, like love loss, mortgage payments, and smoking and drinking, the young musician brings swagger and mastery to the stage with his guitar in hand. The gifted guitarist showcased his chops throughout the night. With Jonny Lang-esque playing and vocal deliveries, he is a prodigy with a long career ahead.
The mostly female audience screamed from the moment Myers hit the stage, reminiscent of when The Beatles played the Ed Sullivan Show for the first time. He commanded the room like he owned the place while the crowd sang and danced.
Among the songs he performed are “Tin Roof Talks,” “Worry is a Sickness,” and his big ballad, “Thought it Was Love,” which was the first of three final songs to receive the loudest singalong and defeating cheers. He also played “Tie That Binds,” the first single “I ever put out in the world,” he said to loud applause.
He paused midway through the rocking “Too Far Gone” to toss a fan a water bottle after they passed out. He resumed the song once he received word that they were okay.
His show was one hundred percent live, something that’s rare these days as many artists rely on computers on stage. Myers is as authentic as it gets. I’ve not seen this type of craze for a country performer since Morgan Wallen and Megan Moroney became superstars in recent years.
After selling out the tour’s initial 45 dates in merely minutes, Myers added 20 more shows that span through the fall. The newly added dates will see Myers playing even bigger rooms all over the country, including premier venues like The Pinnacle in Nashville and Washington, DC’s The Anthem. Thanks to that feverish response and fans lining up early around the block to get into the general admission shows, the tour has seen a multitude of room upgrades (including in Boston and Seattle), with a number of second shows added to meet audience demand.
