Ty Myers Now Set for Tyler, TX Debut in May

He's one of the hottest acts in country music today. And at just 17 years old, Ty Myers has a rocket strapped to his back and is pointed straight to the stars.

Less than a year ago, the Texas native went viral on TikTok; today, he's signed a major record deal, racking up streaming numbers by the millions, and is playing sold-out shows and massive festivals across the U.S.

We are glad to welcome Ty to Tyler, TX, for the 11th Annual Red Dirt BBQ & Music Festival, presented by Choctaw Casino Resort Grant, and produced by 101.5 KNUE and Radio Texas, LIVE! with Buddy Logan. Make plans to be with us on Saturday, May 10th.

In 2023, he uploaded “Tie That Binds” online, and the TikTok account Bonfire Specials organically plugged it. The song surged on social media, and labels flooded his inbox. The breakout tune eventually gathered 6 million Spotify streams, followed by “Drinkin’ Alone,” “But Me,” and more.
