Catfish Whiskey staggered onto the Fort Worth music scene back in the summer of 2003 when singer/songwriter Keegan McInroe had a chance meeting and jam session one evening with former drummer, Matt Lombard, during one of McInroe's early solo shows. With the bar's old, worn out drum kit sitting behind him, McInroe had a few drinks and decided to invite Lombard onstage to join him. The two decided there was some chemistry there.

Catfish Whiskey staggered onto the Fort Worth music scene back in the summer of 2003 when singer/songwriter Keegan McInroe had a chance meeting and jam session one evening with former drummer, Matt Lombard, during one of McInroe's early solo shows. With the bar's old, worn out drum kit sitting behind him, McInroe had a few drinks and decided to invite Lombard onstage to join him. The two decided there was some chemistry there. Soon, Lombard introduced Michael Maftean to McInroe, and the three aspiring musician's began working to get a band together. Travis Dixon, McInroe's roomate at the time, joined in on bass shortly thereafter, and Tripp Mathis showed up in early May 2004. Matt Lombard left the band in late 2005, making way for Johnny 'Savage' Goodson to join the band on skins in February of 2006. Tripp Mathis left the band in May 2007.In early summer 2006, CW pulled off an independent five week, 23 show run of the Western U.S., including a live radio gig on KRFC's (Fort Collins, CO) Live at Lunch program. Since returning to Texas in late June of 2006, CW has been focusing on burning a hole in the ground between the major cities in Texas, including Ft. Worth, Dallas, Austin, Houston and Lubbock, as well as branching out into Lousianna, Oklahoma, and Kansas.Catfish Whiskey's music is a soulful blend of rock and roll, blues, country, and folk, reminiscent of some of the classic Southern rock bands, delta blues musicians, and old school country outlaws of the past. Yet, CW manages to acheive a voice all its own. As the name denotes, Catfish Whiskey prides themselves on a very distinct and rootsy sound. Ranging from smooth and mellow, to rough and dirty, to downright funky CW has a tendency to play on all levels of emotion during a night's work. Catfish Whiskey thrives in the live performances of the smoke-filled bar rooms and low lit clubs which they frequent, always giving a unique and raw edge to whatever might be on the setlist that night. Every show is an experience all its own.Catfish Whiskey releases 'Blood & Bones,' their debute studio album, with cd release parties in Dallas and Ft. Worth Jan 18th and Jan 19th 2008.In addition to this album, Catfish Whiskey released a self produced live cd, 'Live from The Moon,' in May 2006. It was recorded April 27, 2006 in Ft. Worth, TX.
