About Whiskey Trish Music
Whiskey Trish Music is the creative partnership of Whiskey Trish and CyLee, a singer, a storyteller and co-songwriters, built around a shared belief that music should make you stop mid-scroll, mid-sentence, mid-sunset and listen.From the hills of West Virginia and Ozark Mountains with pit stops in Los Angeles and Alaska to the Pacific Northwest, between late night porch talks and crowded festival grounds, their journey has been shaped by resilience, reinvention and the search for genuine human connection.Their debut EP, arriving this July, is more than just a first release. It's a raw unveiling of the stories they've kept closest. It sets the stage for a full-length album that doesn't blink, diving straight into the heart of the struggle and the beauty of the break.That forthcoming album is a fearless exploration of loss, guilt, resilience and the long road back to self. The songs pour from the heart like letters never sent, carrying stories of love that slips away, the weight of things unsaid and the slow beauty of coming back to yourself. These aren't just songs. They're confessions in 4/4 time.
Whiskey Trish sings with the kind of voice that knows sorrow but doesn't bow to it. Her melodies are steeped in country noir and modern Americana, with lyrics that cut deep and stay with you.CyLee is the architect of the moment and the voice behind the silence. On stage, she tells the stories that strip away the armor, mapping the terrain and leading the listener to the exact place they need to be so that when the music hits, it doesn't just land. It breaks.Whiskey Trish Music isn't chasing trends. It's tracing truth. Through songs, stories and genuine connection, they invite listeners in, not just to hear the story, but to find the pieces of their own reflected back.

FAQ
What is WTM DISTILLERY?
The WTM Distillery is a free sanctuary for the ones who crave something real.It's a community built on authentic connection and a shared devotion to raw storytelling, no algorithms, no noise, just music that actually says something.
What is a Distiller?
A Distiller is more than a fan. They're part of the inner circle, the ones who help refine the story and keep the connection raw.
What is a Founding Distiller?
The Founding Distiller title is a limited legacy. It's reserved exclusively for the pioneers who stepped inside the inner circle first.Once we hit our mark, the window slams shut and this status becomes a permanent badge of honor that can never be bought or earned again.
Why are Founding Distiller memberships limited?
There can only be one founding group. Once our goal is reached, Founding Distiller memberships close forever.
Is it really free?
Yes. No subscriptions, no fees, no catch.The only thing you bring to the table is your own story. And maybe a few tears and smiles for the memories the music brings back.
What perks do Distillers receive?
Distillers are the first to know and the first to get in. From priority ticket access to limited-run merch that exists only for the inner circle, you're always at the front of the line. And then there are the things we can't even talk about yet, the kind of experiences we're keeping under wraps until the moment is right.
Will I hear music before it’s released?
Absolutely. You're not just a listener. You're a witness to the process.
Whether it's a raw demo, a peek into a recording session, or a private stream from a rehearsal, you're getting the unfiltered version of the journey. It’s the kind of access usually reserved for family.
Will you sell or share my information?

How often will you contact me?
Texts are reserved for our most important news and events. Emails are sent when there’s something we believe you won’t want to miss.

How can I help?

What happens after I join?
