   About Tirk Wilder


"I tell my audience stories, and have no desire to be background music for conversation, dance music in a lounge, or the latest fad."---Mickey Newbury 1940-2002

Before we tell ALL, we should say that you can get Tirk's CD, "I'm Letting Go", at www.tirkwilder.com OR www.cdbaby.com/tirkwilder. It contains ALL of the songs listed above and seven OTHERS. Aren't you WORTH IT?

What's our formula for success?
The band breathes.
It comes in different sizes to fit different venues.
USUALLY, it's Tirk by himself. He's a singer/songwriter/guitar player/keyboardist/humorist/entertainer/janitor.
He DID play keyboards for Toby Keith, back before anyone knew who Toby Keith was. Of course, you may STILL not know who Toby Keith IS, so we'll just mention he's a BBIIIIGG Country Music Star (note the capital letters).
Tirk won the BMI TV Music Award for 1997, 1998, and 1999.
How'd he do DAT?
He wrote the "Eyes of the Ranger" theme song for the CBS TV show "Walker, Texas Ranger" starring Chuck Norris. (Yes, he met Chuck Norris, and YES, Chuck Norris IS a great guy. No kidding.)
He's lived in Nashville, Tennessee for the last eight years, writing, producing, publishing and pitching songs (nothing yet, but stay tuned!).
Now, he says, it's time for him to get out and play his songs for people in public.
Heck, he played OTHER people's songs for @%..*^&%! years for a living before he moved to Nashville. He's sick of paying them royalties when his songs are just as good, if not BETTER than theirs.
The larger the venue (and the higher the pay), the larger the band Tirk can bring. With the right amount of money, Tirk will be accompanied by the London Symphony Orchestra and the Morman Tabernacle Choir.
Tirk is a Pro member of the Nashville Songwriters' Association International, and a Diamond member of the Songwriters' Guild. He also is very capable and would be willing to give you a professional critique of YOUR material with an eye to brushing it up to a more commercial level ($15 per song).
But mostly, it's GIG TIME.
If you're looking for the most fun you've ever had with your clothing still on, call or write Tirk and git 'er done!

Hey Tirk
I'd like to invite you to listen to the songs on my profile, if you haven't already. There are four songs from our new album, 'Fingers In The Pie', and two from the first album, 'The Long Run'. Feel free to write a short comment; and if you really, really like what you hear, my special offer for direct orders of the new CD is still going. Please contact me for more information. And thank you for looking into my music!

Tirk '' The Eyes Of A Ranger '' Wilder . Good to see you last night buddy - If Ranger Walker found out what you were doing the other night he'd be after you pal ! ( Just kiddin' ) The Infamous Commodore Lounge - that place is such an "Outlaw hangout '' isn't it ? Especially when guys like you frequent the place. You're one '' bad '' dude Tirk . Seriously Tirk , it's been nice knowing you all these years . Here's wishing you continued success / say hi to Chuck for me .

The Eyes of A Ranger are upon you - Catchy tune ....
