The hometown festival benefits the Anderson County Youth Livestock Association
Multi-platinum band Whiskey Myers returns to their roots with the seventh annual Wiggy Thump Festival set for May 10th 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.
“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 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 in Miramar Beach, Florida.
Fans catching Whiskey Myers live in 2025 are likely to hear 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.
Y’all have been asking about Wiggy Thump. So we’re excited to say that we’ll see y’all at the 7th annual Wiggy Thump Saturday, May 10th along with our friends @blackberrysmoke , Reid Haughton, and Kenny McCann and the painted desert band.
