Ty Myers is a breakout singer-songwriter-guitarist who is quickly commanding attention after delivering his acclaimed debut album, “The Select” (and the ”Deluxe” and “Acoustic”), and earning three RIAA certifications including his first platinum hit with current single “Ends of the Earth,” which is Top 20 and climbing at Country radio. Announcing the release of his mega-anticipated sophomore album, “Heavy On The Soul”, Myers has teased his next chapter with a string of early releases: “Leaving Carolina,” “Through a Screen,” “Come On Over, Baby” and “Two Trains (feat. Marcus King).”
Inciting heartthrob-level pandemonium on the road, the fast-rising phenomenon followed his first sold-out headline run with a sold-out 66-date The Select Tour through the fall, plus has new dates extending to 2026 (tallying 73 shows total). Set to make his Stagecoach debut and support Luke Combs’ My Kinda Saturday Night Tour at stadiums next spring, he’s previously opened for Randy Rogers Band, Wade Bowen, Old Dominion, Tim McGraw and Willie Nelson, among others. The Billboard Country Rookie of the Month has also been featured in their high-profile 21 Under 21 all-genre list, in addition to being spotlighted as Apple Music’s Country Riser of the Month and hailed as an Artist to Watch by GRAMMY.com, Pandora, Spotify and more. Myers first created a buzz with his debut single “Tie That Binds” in 2023, before GOLD “Drinkin’ Alone” exploded with 135 million+ global streams. Born just outside of Austin, TX, the 19-year-old grew up on a cattle ranch owned by his family for more than six generations.
