Ty Myers Gives Fans Exclusive First Access to His Willie Nelson Tribute Album Through EVEN STUDIO

Country breakout Ty Myers gave his most devoted fans first access to his new tribute album through his own artist-owned platform, built on EVEN STUDIO. Fans who joined Myers’ direct-to-fan hub at tysociety.live got early entry to Two Braids & The Truth – My Tribute to Willie, a 10-song tribute to Willie Nelson, along with exclusive behind-the-scenes content, tour access, merch, and a direct line to Myers through the platform’s live chat — all for $7.99.

Two Braids & The Truth – My Tribute to Willie is released via RECORDS Nashville/Columbia Records, part of Sony Music — Myers’ label home for the wider rollout — with the STUDIO hub serving as his direct-to-fan complement to that release.

The release marks one of the first artist rollouts to use EVEN STUDIO, EVEN’s direct-to-fan product that lets artists sell and share music on their own domain, keep their fan data, and earn a higher revenue share than traditional streaming or ticketing platforms allow.

“Direct-to-fan isn’t just a sales channel, it’s a relationship choice. Ty built a space where his fans get to be part of the story before anyone else does. He gave them early access to music and let them vote on his next single right on the platform. That way, he keeps the first-party fan data, owns those relationships, and gets a real read on what his fans actually want.” — Litza Roumeliotis, Artist Relations

The album features Willie Nelson himself on “Write Your Own Songs,” Carter Faith on “Always On My Mind,” and Ben Haggard on “My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys,” produced by Brandon Hood with session work from Mickey Raphael, Nelson’s longtime harmonica player. Myers, a 19-year-old Texas native who grew up on a cattle ranch outside Austin, has cited Nelson as a formative influence since childhood, a connection underscored weeks earlier when Myers became the youngest country artist ever to headline Red Rocks Amphitheatre.
