About Whiskey Jam
Founded in January 2011, Whiskey Jam has entertained Music City and its guests for over a dozen years. The weekly series has hosted over 800 live events featuring thousands of performances by artists and songwriters since its inception. From its humble plywood stage in a bar off of Nashville's famous Music Row, Whiskey Jam has featured artists including Chris Stapleton, Kacey Musgraves, Luke Combs, Maren Morris, Morgan Wallen, Kane Brown, Sam Hunt, Melissa Etheridge, Old Dominion, OneRepublic and many more. What started out as a group of friends getting together to share songs and good times quickly became a staple in the Nashville live music scene. Among its proudest achievements, a sold-out crowd packed the Ryman Auditorium for Whiskey Jam’s 10th anniversary celebration in 2021. The early support of today's superstars has led to collaborations with Luke Combs' Whiskey Jam x Bootlegger Tailgate Party in conjunction with all of his North American stadium shows as well as Whiskey Jam’s opening slot on Old Dominion’s “No Bad Vibes” Tour which features up and coming artists like; Frank Ray, Kassi Ashton and Greylan James. In addition to music, Whiskey Jam’s lifestyle merchandise line has shipped to all 50 states, dozens of countries all around the globe, and is worn proudly by members of the "Jam Fam" both on the stage and in the crowd.
