Saving Country Music says Tyller Gummersall “rekindles the rugged lineage of the great cowboy poets” , a fitting description for an artist raised on Colorado ranches and built from years of playing the road.
Raised in the Rocky Mountains and now based in Prescott, Arizona, Tyller grew up working cattle by day and chasing songs by night. Mentored from age eight by two-time National Flat-Picking Champion Gary Cook, he developed a guitar style rooted in tradition and a voice shaped by highways, honkytonks, and quiet desert nights.
Over the past decade, Tyller has built his career the long way, independently, show by show. Releasing nine albums and earning more than a million streams. He’s shared stages with Lainey Wilson, Josh Turner, John Anderson, Robert Earl Keen, and Pat Green, earning a reputation for authentic songwriting and heartfelt live shows.
One of Tyller’s early records, Long Ride Home, was produced by Grammy-winner Lloyd Maines and spent 20 weeks on the Texas Regional Radio chart. His newest record, the self-produced In The Middle (2025), marked a career milestone, reaching #24 on the Alt-Country Specialty Chart, #15 on the RMR American Country Albums Chart, and #91 on the Americana Music Association Radio Albums Chart. No small feat for a truly independent artist.
Along the way, Tyller has performed everywhere from Douglas Corner Café in Nashville and the Belly Up in Aspen to Texas favorites like Hilltop Café, Albert Ice House, and Hye Hall slowly building a grassroots audience across the West while Critics note how his music “rekindles the grit of the honky-tonk and the grand expanse of the American West.”
On stage, whether it’s a dance floor, a listening room, or a small-town theater, Tyller delivers shows built on connection: stories of ranch life, love, heartbreak, hard work, and the places that shape us.
Today, he continues touring and recording with a band of seasoned players, committed to making music with live musicians, real emotion, and no shortcuts.
