When the four members of Whiskey Falls first heard the blend of their voices, they immediately knew what they wanted to do – take their combined passion for music and meld it into one unique sound.
Having musical influences that range from The Eagles, Alabama, Journey, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Johnny Cash, U2 and Queen, just to name a few, their “Cala-Bama” music – which they describe as “Hotel California” meets “Sweet Home Alabama” – certainly caught the ears of many record labels in Nashville.
Seven Williams and Wally Brandt began making music together early on in their youth and eventually became proud co-founders of We 3 Kings – an acclaimed film and television music production company out of California. They soon found themselves back and forth to Nashville where they teamed up with some of the town’s top writers including Don Schlitz (“The Gambler”), Frank Meyers (“I Swear”) and Stephanie Bentley (“Concrete Angel”). Raised on the music of the South – Gospel, Country, Bluegrass, Blues and Southern Rock – Buck Johnson grew up singing gospel music with his family. Years later he ventured into the world of songwriting where he found a new level of success when Carlos Santana recorded “Just Feel Better” – a tune which Buck wrote with now bandmate Damon Johnson. Damon, who grew up playing Merle Haggard and Hank Jr., knew from an early age to be as diverse as possible when it comes to music. That paid off for him throughout his musical career, particularly as the singer, songwriter and guitarist for southern rock band Brother Cane.
