Whiskey Falls was a country music ensemble from Nashville, Tennessee, active between 2007 and 2011. The group comprised Seven Williams (lead vocals, guitar), Wally Brandt (guitar, vocals), Damon Johnson (guitar, vocals), and Buck Johnson (lead vocals, mandolin, guitar, keyboards). Prior to Whiskey Falls, Williams and Brandt were members of Seven and the Sun, while Johnson had led the Southern rock band Brother Cane and played guitar for Alice Cooper. The band issued a single self-titled album through Midas Records Nashville in 2007 before disbanding.

Biography

Fronted by Seven Williams (born Keith Volpone), Whiskey Falls featured all members sharing lead and harmony vocal duties. The band signed with Midas Records Nashville in 2007. Their inaugural album generated two Top 40 hits on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart: "Last Train Running" reached #32, and "Falling Into You" peaked at #40.

Throughout their short career, Whiskey Falls received the 2008 “Breakout Band of the Year” honor from Nashville's Music Row and attracted media attention from outlets such as People Magazine, USA Weekend, Billboard, and Country Weekly. They made appearances on national television programs including The Early Show, The Jimmy Kimmel Show, Extra!, and GAC, alongside performances at NASCAR pre-race events. Additionally, the group was featured in advertising campaigns for AAMCO Transmissions.

Their track "Load Up the Bases (The Baseball Song)" was utilized in promotional spots for Atlanta Braves games on FSN South and SportSouth, as well as for Colorado Rockies broadcasts on FSN Rocky Mountain. It charted at No. 55 on country charts during the 2007 and 2008 World Series periods due to unsolicited airplay.

In 2009, Damon Johnson returned to the Alice Cooper Band and contributed to Cooper’s 2010 live DVD & CD release "Theatre of Death - Live At Hammersmith." He continued touring with Cooper until 2011 before joining Thin Lizzy. Johnson briefly rejoined Whiskey Falls late in 2009 for the Toughest Cowboy Tour. The band also composed the theme song for Mark Burnett's Spike TV series Toughest Cowboy.

In December 2011, Whiskey Falls released a holiday single titled "Rudolph Guide My Way," which was made available for digital purchase.

After the group dissolved, Seven Williams and Wally Brandt concentrated on their music production company We3Kings Music, focusing on writing and producing tracks for television and film. Their work includes theme songs for NBC's The John Walsh Show, Fox's Tru Calling and The Simple Life, ABC's The Two-Timer, NBC's Minute to Win It, Tabatha's Salon Makeover, Sarah Palin's Alaska, Dance Moms, and Ryan & Tatum: The O’Neals. They have also created cues for programs such as NBC's Las Vegas, Starting Over, Access Hollywood, and Entertainment Tonight. Their film contributions encompass titles like America's Sweethearts, Summer Catch, Columbia Pictures' The Quest, and 20th Century Fox’s Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days. In 2013, following a legal dispute involving Wally Brandt, Seven Williams exited We3Kings.
