William E. Myers is a musician, bandleader, and educator from North Carolina. He and Cleveland Flowe co-founded The Monitors in 1957. The band, which plays a mix of R&B, funk, and jazz, still performs multiple shows each year in and around their home of Wilson, North Carolina.

In 2011, Myers and the Monitors played the Smithsonian Folklife Festival.[1] The next year, Myers received the Brown-Hudson Folklore Award from the North Carolina Folklore Society, and in 2014, the North Carolina Heritage Award.
