About Me

A product of being raised in the southern truck-stop town of Troutville, VA - the music of JD Myers is a gritty fusion of rockabilly, west-coast country, the outlaw sound, and rock 'n roll blues.
No stranger to the Nashville scene, this triple threat scored a publishing deal by age 19, a record deal by age 20, a critically acclaimed album at 22, one of the most played videos of the year on CMT ("When I Think About You"), has collaborated with legends Waylon Jennings and James Burton, and that's just half of where he's been and where he's going. His latest album, "Hard Times", was rated one of the top 10 Americana albums of 2005 by AmericanaRoots.com.
His energetic live performances defy the typical. He comes from the school of know your roots, honor your heroes, but be your own man. Anyone who's seen JD Myers live knows they're seeing a future superstar with talent far beyond what Nashville typically has to offer. His unique songwriting, fiery guitar playing, spot-on vocals, and down to earth back-to-basics attitude have earned him the respect of many of his heroes and peers in Music City.
JD is currently working on his third studio album, simply titled: "JD MYERS"
