William Beckmann - Whiskey Lies & Alibis [White LP] Vinyl Record

William Beckmann is drawn to things that have stories

to tell: historic buildings, old guitars, the vintage

typewriter on which he writes all of his lyrics. And if you

call the Texas singer-songwriter an “old soul,” the 28-

year-old will take it as a compliment. Beckmann — a

thrilling vocalist who sings in both English and Spanish

— has been recording and performing a type of vibrant,

modern-day country music that also pays tribute to

what came before. Hailing from the small border town

of Del Rio, TX, William Beckmann was raised on classic

country as well as the mariachi and Norteño sounds of

northern Mexico. His 2022 album Faded Memories

features the slow-burn single “Bourbon Whiskey,” the

mesmerizing cover of Bruce Springsteen’s “I’m On Fire,”

and the haunting “In The Dark.” The album garnered

praise from critics including American Songwriter,

Billboard, CMT and more. 2023’s album Here’s To You,

Here’s To Me included the fan-favorite, “Tennessee

Drinkin,’” and was Beckmann’s fifth consecutive song to

hit Top 20 on the Texas Regional Radio Chart. He has

spent the last year touring with artists including Parker

McCollum, Hank Williams Jr., Charley Crockett, and the

Randy Rogers Band in addition to selling out five of his

own shows at the legendary Gruene Hall and

headlining Billy Bob’s Texas. In the Spring of 2023,

Beckmann made his Grand Ole Opry debut and one

year later he signed a record deal with Warner Music

Nashville.
