Live Music: Tyler Hansen

Tyler Hansen plays the guitar while simultaneously singing.

It would be impressive if it weren’t for those guys on walking malls who play guitar, tuba and bass drum all at the same time.

Thanks a lot, those guys.

For nearly two decades, Tyler has been playing music for audiences throughout the country. He started his career touring the East Coast as a solo act before moving to the Mountain West. He’s hesitant to define his musical style, letting “acoustic everything” do the job of explaining his genre. His influences range from folk to soul to classical. During his career he has had the privilege of sharing the stage with John Mayer, Steve Earle, Richie Furay, Wynonna Judd, Katie Pruitt, and Diamond Rio, among others. He has been invited on multiple occasions to participate in Dean Dillon’s Crested Butte Songwriter’s Festival (Now High Country Music Festival) where he had the honor of playing alongside songwriting heavyweights like Mac Davis and Robert Earl Keen.
