Brent Tyler
June 22 7pm-9pm
Brent Tyler is a seven-foot paradox. Tyler’s intricate guitar style combined with a soulful presence and elastic vocal range contrast his obvious football frame. A voice that bellows the foundation, yet dynamically delicate and sincere, Tyler balances the subtlety of honest and introspective folk-rock music with soulful hooks and melodies born of his childhood dreams and contemporary crushes. Tyler's music is lyrically textured with real life. Honesty and love, hope and healing.
Imagine Dave Matthews and John Mayer were sipping whiskey spinning James Taylor and Martin Sexton records at Jack Johnson’s beach house.
A Western Canadian giant…Big Man. Big Sound. Big Love.
