"The Waymores is a romantic Honky Tonk love story of two musicians sharing their love of music and each other." - Promoters of Rockin Route 66 Music Festival.

 

Kira Annalise and Willie Heath Neal are The Waymores and

they are the epitome of acoustic country music: He was

born in a cop car, lived in and out of foster care

and served in the Navy. She used to get stage

fright until she was swept up by his charm

and grit, started writing country songs and

never looked back. Now, they travel the

world together, writing songs from the road

and bringing their intimate, fun, and quirky

one-liner-jabs to venues all over. The Waymores

take what's real about life and relationships and

add music, jokes and whiskey; it can be beautiful, it

can be painful, it can get inappropriate and it's completely

unrehearsed, unexpected and dangerously wonderful. Their debut album,

Weeds, was released in April of 2019 on Chicken Ranch Records.

An Americana/ Alternative Country band based in the Detroit area, with a traditional folk approach, both in instrumentation and vocal narrative storytelling, but with a more modern aesthetic and lyrical sensibility. 

Los Angeles' alternative weekly compiles a Friday playlist featuring the artists we've been covering for the past seven days. The soundtrack to your weekend.
