September 21, 2023 - BUFFALO, N.Y. - Three Chord Bourbon, Inc. (www.ThreeChordBourbon.com), the award-winning bourbon company founded by music  legend Neil Giraldo, is proud to announce a new collection of bourbons called the Three Chord  Bourbon Backstage Series, which unites the brand with leading musicians in releasing custom  signature blends unique to each partnership. The releases are limited editions, and several will  additionally offer an opportunity to secure signed bottles from the featured artists. The collection  debuts with two blends, one each from country rockers The Cadillac Three (www.TheCadillacThree.com) and Nashville-based rock band Goodbye June (www.GoodbyeJune.com), with both available at Three Chord Bourbon Backstage Series or via  the band websites. A very limited number of bottles will also be available through select  retailers around the country. Several additional collaborations with musicians are expected to be  announced throughout the next two months and ongoing.  

Three Chord Bourbon was launched by Giraldo as a spirits company developed by  musicians in support of musicians. The Backstage Series expands his commitment to aligning  with the music industry to amplify talented artists. “Three Chord has always found impactful  ways to support the music industry by working with local musicians, venues, or music-based  non-profits. The Backstage Series takes that philosophy to the next level,” says Ryan Gill, Three  Chord’s Director of Brand Development.

While the brand has grown exponentially since its debut in 2017, this marks the first time  that Three Chord Bourbon has specifically aligned with a series of musicians to offer signature  blends.  

"I have long envisioned a series of bourbons under the Three Chord brand, crafted in  collaboration with musicians who deeply appreciate the harmony of flavors and melodies – from  the palate to the ear," expressed Neil Giraldo, the Founder & Chairman of Three Chord. Giraldo,  a Grammy-winning musician, songwriter, and producer, and a proud inductee into the Rock &  Roll Hall of Fame in 2022, continued, "I am incredibly excited to introduce this collection  alongside a talented lineup of artists who are reshaping the industry. This offers their fans a  unique opportunity to fully immerse themselves in their music, extending far beyond the concert  stage."

The first bottle is offered in collaboration with The Cadillac Three, who recently  partnered with Darius Rucker and Lainey Wilson on a refresh of the college football anthem  “Comin’ To Your City” for ESPN’s College GameDay program. In addition, the band trio of  Jaren Johnston, Neil Mason and Kelby Ray will debut their newest album on October 27^th of this  year. The special collaboration with The Cadillac Three (https://threechordbourbon.com/our whiskey/the-cadillac-three/) is a Tennessee Whiskey, small batch ninety-proof blend created  with Three Chord Bourbon Whiskeymaker Ari Sussman.  

"We're thrilled about our partnership with Three Chord Bourbon. We've had the idea for  a TC3-Tennessee whiskey for a long time, and this is the perfect team to do it with,” said The  Cadillac Three. “We hope our fans love this collaboration and that it is the first of many."

Goodbye June, currently working on a new album as a follow-up their 2022 release See  Where The Night Goes - which received international success debuting at number one on the UK  rock charts – announced the release of their blend live from the stage at Bourbon & Beyond, the  bourbon and music festival held this past weekend in Louisville, Kentucky. The band’s bourbon  release (https://threechordbourbon.com/our-whiskey/goodbye-june/) is a blend of cask-strength,  five-year-old Straight and Cherry Bounce Barrel-Finished bourbon whiskeys, offered at one hundred and twenty-two proof.  

“It was a pleasure working with Neil Giraldo and company to craft our bourbon. It’s  strong, full of flavor, and goes great with vinyl,” said the band.  

With a collection of award-winning bourbons sought after by whiskey enthusiasts across  the country, Three Chord Bourbon is rapidly expanding from 38 states to the entire continental  US, plus strategic international markets. In addition, the company is further building its presence  in existing markets as a leading craft whiskey producer with deep ties to live music.
