J.W. Myers

About the artist

Myers, J.W. (c. 1864-c. 1919) John W. Myers, usually identified on records as J.W. Myers, was arguably the leading baritone balladeer in the first decade of commercial recordings, working regularly from the early 1890s to about 1902. He is not to be confused with singer John Meyer, who sang first as bass and then as baritone for the Peerless Quartet. John W. Myers was immediately recognizable for his distinctive handlebar mustache. Born in Wales
