Born in the sin black, Hell hot, Holy Ghost South, Tyler never completely frees himself from the red Georgia clay in his veins, blending rootsy americana with the gypsy folk and African rhythms he was exposed to while living in Europe. His songs include characters like Charlie Chaplain and Oedipus, lovable alcoholics, blind painters, revolutionaries, dreamers, drifters, pesky preachers and those who are human to the utmost.
In a very honest and challenging presentation, Lyle fights his ghosts in the open- on stage- revealing his doubts and shortcomings, disarming the listener and preparing them a place in the caravan into the dark. "It's a hallowed scene, but we don't know what it means" says Lyle in "Pinewood Chests." In another song he sings "go deep down brother, feel it all/ cause there's peace at the bottom, if there's peace at all." This is what separates Lyle from his peers- he wants to take us on a journey- he says "I'm not happy unless there has been some sort of transformation between point A and point B. By the end of the song, I want the listener to be in a different place altogether than where she first entered"
That's what Lyle's upcoming release "Notes From the Parade" is concerned with: "It's about the weight of motion and how it interacts with us as humans- how in your favorite story, you can know the whole journey, the tragedy, the joy, how it all ends, but if you re-read it, the weight of it all doesn't go away when the characters are meeting each other for the first time. You feel in your chest, the hidden part of the iceburg that the characters don't yet know- except we are those characters and the joy and the tragedy are here inside of us, only we don't know what it looks like yet."

Hey its Sem. Thought I would see how you are. Our myspace is not broken anymore :) The last few days have been a nightmare. Just wanted to let you know if you didn't get my last message that we have a new single coming out next Spring, and if you haven't seen yet we have a new website. www.bensem.com If you become a member you will be one of the first to know the release date. The only reason I mention is that it takes me about 6 months to try and tell everyone on myspace lol. You up to much this weekend? Speak to you soon
McNary, Kenny B, Anne Harper, Prisca, John Henry Velez, & Drew Gleason will be collaborating on stage for the first time. Performing together they are their own backing band! There will be Daring Duets, Well Loved Covers, and Compelling Original music will light up your night.
Tyler Lyle, How's it going? I just wanted to let you know that my debut CD "Like I'm Beautiful" is now available on iTunes, on sale for only $5.94 this week!
Hope that you enjoy and have a blessed day! Kelly Murray
Yo Tyler Lyleasaurus. I just found out that we're related...and as a special family only present we've made a new song for you called "End of Days" (start doing backflips now). It's an epic instrumental opus to the moment when our ancient Dino relatives saw a large fiery object plummeting towards them. Please come to our page, give it a listen and let us know if it makes you feel like something catastrophic is gonna happen. If the song upsets you too much we will be holding several s support groups (read: comcerts) in the near future. Check our page for locations, dates and times.
Hello! Wow, honestly? Thankyou so much - It really means a lot :') I was going to tell you how much of a fan i am of your music - but i think you got to me first! Your songs are so beautiful. Can i buy them anywhere? Anytime you're in Europe, let me know! You wouldn't need to bug me about a collaberation at all, it would be the other way around :) xxx
