Whiskey Falls was an American country music group composed of Seven Williams (lead vocals, guitar), Wally Brandt (guitar, vocals) Damon Johnson (guitar, vocals), and Buck Johnson (lead vocals, mandolin, guitar, keyboards). Seven Williams & Wally Brandt were once members of Atlantic Records Recording Artist, Seven and the Sun, while Damon Johnson was once the frontman of the Southern rock band Brother Cane and a guitarist for shock rocker Alice Cooper.
The band's lead singer is Seven Williams (born Keith Volpone). Whiskey Falls' other three members, Wally Brandt, Buck Johnson, and Damon Johnson (the latter two are no relation), all sing lead and harmony vocals and play guitar, and Buck Johnson plays keyboard as well. In 2007, Whiskey Falls signed to a recording contract with Midas Records Nashville label. Their self-titled debut album produced two Top 40 singles on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts in "Last Train Running" (#32) and "Falling Into You" (#40).
In the short time together as a band, Whiskey Falls was named 2008’s “Breakout Band of the Year” by Nashville’s Music Row, has been featured in People Magazine, USA Weekend, Billboard Magazine and Country Weekly. They have also made appearances on national television including performances on The Early Show, The Jimmy Kimmel Show, Extra!, GAC, and at several NASCAR pre-race events, as well as being featured in television commercials for AAMCO Transmissions.
The group and their song "Load Up the Bases (The Baseball Song)" are featured in promos for Atlanta Braves telecasts on FSN South and SportSouth, as well as for Colorado Rockies telecasts on FSN Rocky Mountain. This song also charted at No. 55 on the country music charts from unsolicited airplay during the 2007 World Series. It was re-released again in 2008 and re-entered at No. 55 on the country charts from unsolicited airplay during the 2008 World Series. The chorus of Load Up the Bases, "I'm gonna knock one out", is the cause of much hilarity among British and Australian fans of US baseball. In the UK and Australia, "knocking one out" is a widely used euphemism for masturbation.
