The Whiskey Biscuits

The Whiskey Biscuits are a five-piece country-rock band based in Brooklyn, NY. Formed over a mutual love of American roots music, including classic country and rock & roll, Whiskey Biscuits sets serve as a tribute to undersung songwriters (Flying Burrito Bros, John Prine, Warren Zevon), radio favorites (The Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty), and a catalog of original music influenced by all of the above. The band has garnered a reputation for rowdy live performances and has become a sought-after act among the Brooklyn country scene, working weekly as the house band at the famed 250+ capacity venue, Desert 5 Spot, as well as making regular appearances at respected country scene institution Skinny Dennis. Having cut their teeth here, the band feels a special relationship to 11th St Bar and sees these shows as an opportunity to share in the collective culture of song that has long been part of the bar’s identity. The Whiskey Biscuits sets at 11th St are characterised by an emphasis on original material and more obscure covers aimed at the heads, often culminating in a dancing-on-tables celebration of rock and roll songwriting.
