Tough news for Whiskey Myers fans on the west coast.
The band announced this afternoon that they have to cancel the concert in Santa Barbara, California this evening due to frontman Cody Cannon “fighting through illness.”
They didn’t specify exactly what the sickness was, though the statement explained that he needs time to “recover and avoid long-term vocal damage.”
Cannon and all of the Whiskey Myers boys put on one of the best, most electric live shows in the business, so I promise you California fans that it will be well-worth the wait when they make it back next year:
“Hey y’all, We’ve got some tough news to share. Cody Cannon has been fighting through illness these past few shows and doing everything possible to give you the show you deserve, however due to the fact that he can not sing we need to cancel tonight’s concert in Santa Barbara to give him time to recover and avoid long-term vocal damage.
We know this is a huge bummer for everyone who was excited to see the show, and we’re really sorry for the inconvenience. Refunds will be available at the point of purchase, and Cody’s getting the rest and care he needs to bounce back.
We WILL be back in 2025. AS OF RIGHT NOW, The rest of the shows this week are still happening. Thank you for your understanding and support. We can’t wait to rock with you again soon!”
They specified that, as of right now, the rest of the California shows this week in Del Mar, San Diego and Concord will go on as planned, through that is obviously subject to change depending on the timeline Cannon’s recovery.
