Treaty Oak Revival Frontman, Sam Canty, Takes A Full Beer To The Face, & Barely Misses A Note, During “No Vacancy”

These days, it seems like country concerts have been getting more and more rowdy by the day.

From Braxton Keith ending a concert after getting a beer thrown at him last month to artists such as Morgan Wallen getting grabbed by fans during walkouts and Megan Moroney getting objects thrown at her, concert etiquette has been seemingly at an all-time low.

An interesting case in the ongoing concert etiquette debate is undoubtedly Treaty Oak Revival.

In case you’re somehow not familiar with the West Texas band, they’ve all but flown up the ranks in the country-rock scene over the past few years. Backed by their patented southern grunge sound, Treaty Oak has scored major hits with the certified-platinum, “Missed Call,” as well as certified-gold hits like “Ode To Bourbon,” “In Between” and “I’m The Worst.” Though the music itself is already good enough to turn heads, it’s their live shows that have truly moved the needle for them.

Simply put, Treaty Oak Revival concerts are an experience. Beyond the incredible stage presence of frontman, Sam Canty, the killer guitar solos from Jeremiah Vanley and, of course, their stellar harmonies on each and every song, Treaty Oak puts on concerts that feel more like a shot of adrenaline rather than a standard show.

Their shows are so high-energy, in fact, that they’ve had to limit all the beer-throwing shenanigans that have been so prominent to one single song, their 2021 track, “Boomtown,” which has now become a tradition at every concert.

Though the limiting of beer-throwing to “Boomtown” has worked fairly well lately (and has resulted in some incredible clips from attendees’ POVs), this weekend in South Carolina proved not to be as effective.

After performing the aforementioned track just two songs before, Canty and company launched into “No Vacancy,” the title track of their debut album. As Canty begins singing the chorus, a full, or near-full, beer can is seen being launched (whoever threw that seriously had some velocity on it) into the frame from the crowd. The can smacked Canty right in the face, knocking the mic off its stand. Clearly taken aback by the beer hitting him directly in the face and potentially breaking his nose, he’d take a second to retrieve the microphone before launching directly back into the chorus, barely missing a beat.

One fan who was there shared a picture in the comments and you can clearly see the gash on Canty’s right cheek, just underneath his eye. After the song, he reportedly told the crowd that something to the effect of “it’s been a while” since he was hit in the face with a beer, and he more or less laughed it off.

Of course, it’s utterly ridiculous for a fan not only to launch a full beer on the stage but also directly at any of the band members. Taking to the comment section, fans let their displeasure be known.

“I respect that man’s patience. I couldn’t let that one slide.”

“Nah because why didn’t he address that it’s so disrespectful”

“I will never understand why people think that’s okay, even if some say they created that atmosphere… Still not a cool thing to do.”

“Y’all got no respect for the people around you”

“People need to grow the f*ck up and have some respect.”

“I’ll never understand this BS”

“That is ridiculous, wth is wrong with people!”

Look, I get the fact that Treaty Oak themselves encourage rowdy behavior throughout their shows. And it’s definitely not everyone’s cup of tea. However, there’s a huge difference between soaking a section of a crowd with beer, or tossing plastic cups, and launching a full beer directly at the singer’s face.

There’s a fine line between rowdy and downright stupid, and this one is certainly stupid. Thankfully for Canty, he didn’t get seriously injured. Treaty Oak even commented on the video saying “Throw some dirt on it,” so while it certainly hurt, it seems like some of the fans were angrier than Canty was.
