He was born in Austin, Texas.[1] Meyers was the event’s primary music booker until he sold his share in the event after the 1994 conference, citing stress and health concerns.[2][3]

Meyers was also an accomplished multi-instrumentalist and producer.[4] From 2005 to 2013, Meyers was executive director of Folk Alliance International.[5]

Meyers was admitted to a hospital on March 10, 2016 and initially was diagnosed with blood clots.[6] He then died of a suspected heart attack the next day at his home,[7] at the age of 60.[8]
