Step into a world where the echoes of the cowboy era come alive through the harmonious chords and heartfelt lyrics of Tyller Gummersall. This Benefit Concert not only celebrates the rich heritage of country music but also supports the future of performing arts in Prescott Valley and its youth programs.
Tyller Gummersall’s music is more than just a collection of songs; it is a narrative of the rugged landscapes and untamed spirit of the American West. Born amidst the rolling hills and vast expanses of Colorado's Rocky Mountains, Tyller's artistry was nurtured under the mentorship of Gary Cook, a two-time national flat-picking champion. From these early days, he developed a guitar style that resonates with authenticity, as genuine as the sagebrush plains he sings about.
His musical odyssey has taken him from the high altitudes of Colorado to the vibrant songwriting scenes of Nashville and the lively honky-tonks of Texas. Along this path, Tyller co-wrote with luminaries such as Jim Lauderdale and shared stages with legends, infusing his performances with a depth that only years of experience can provide.
Settling in Prescott, Arizona, Tyller continues to enchant audiences with solo shows that breathe life into his extensive discography. With nine albums and over one million streams, each performance is an invitation into the vivid stories of ranch life, love, and resilience. His music graces iconic venues like Nashville’s Douglas Corner Cafe and Texas’s Hilltop Cafe, where he exchanges tunes with David Lee, known for crafting hits for Cody Johnson, Montgomery Gentry, Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, and others.
Produced by Grammy-winning Lloyd Maines, Tyller’s sophomore album, "Long Ride Home," charted for 20 weeks on the Texas Regional Radio Report. His latest single, "Hot Desert Night Dance Floor," captures the essence of desert nights with soulful strums, inviting listeners to imagine themselves on a dusty dance floor under a starlit sky.
Sharing bills with giants like John Anderson and Robert Earl Keen, Tyller’s solo performances stand out, showcasing his ability to weave tales that resonate with the raw beauty of the high plains. Critics acclaim his work, noting that seeing Tyller perform live is akin to discovering a hidden gem with excellent songs and a sound that rivals mainstream acts.
For this exclusive engagement, Tyller offers an intimate evening of original compositions rooted in his cowboy heritage, complemented by classic covers that honor the soul of the genre. "It’s me, my guitar, and the stories I’ve carried from the ranches to the road," he reflects, encapsulating the essence of his performance.
This one-night-only event at Main Street Theatre in Prescott Valley promises to be unforgettable. Produced by PVPA, Tyller Gummersall’s solo set will rope in any crowd, drawing them under the expansive Western sky. Tickets priced at $25 are available online or via phone, ensuring a memorable night filled with melodies that capture the heart of country music.
