summer = taking some time off tour to make my first full-length record. see ya on the other side.

"I was born in the evergreens of the pacific northwest.
I was raised in the cornfields of small-town iowa.
I live in the home of country music, nashville, tn.
I write my songs on the upright piano in my house
under the windows where the sun shines in.
I will never cease to be inspired by Bob Dylan, The Beatles,
Tom Waits, Joni Mitchell, Paul Simon, Nick Drake, David Bowie,
Rainer Maria Rilke, Woody Allen, Al Green, and The Band.
I’ve spent the last few years traveling the states on my own in my VW. When its right, I take my band....cause that’s how I hear it in my head. I’ve released some records over the years that most people have nice things to say about. Some people have said that my career is “blowing up” and others have said I should probably get a job. I’m pretty comfortable being right in the middle for the time being. I am one of the many who
aren’t sure what being an adult is suppose to look like.
This is where competition gives way to community,
pessimism to purpose, and restlessness to inspiration.
It’s an open road leading to the places we’re suppose to be." - tyler

"Tyler James' vulnerable lyrics, uncontrived vocals and memorable piano and guitar arrangements make for a sound as accessible as it is meaningful". - Paste Magazine

"Masterfully subtle indie-pop artist (Tyler) James is helping rewrite the music city rulebook." - All The Rage (Nashville Weekly)

"An understated, melodic singer songwriter specializing in lush, piano-driven pop, Tyler James has an unadorned, vulnerable vocal style that grows on you - much like fellow nashvillian josh rouse - adding complexity to deceptively simple lyrics. James sounds like an old soul though he's only 23 (and looks about 15)." - The Nashville Scene
