Tyler Gilbert is a singer/songwriter at the prime age of 21. Born in Calgary, Alberta Tyler has been involved in writing, playing and singing music since his childhood, he grew up surrounded by musical relatives in Regina, Saskatchewan. His primary training was of the guitar but he has also dwelled on piano, banjo, mandolin, bass and harmonica. Tyler accepts influences of all sorts, and believes this is key to becoming a strong diverse musician, his main influence taps are of Zakk Wylde, Bob Dylan and CCR. He has performed mostly in Regina and small towns around Saskatchewan, some with full band and some completely solo. Tyler’s music is defined by his soulful singing with the spontaneous ability to deliver hard hitting notes when needed and philosophical lyrics layered on top of straightforward instrumentation that gets right to the point of his premeditated vision. Being fairly skilled in both guitar and vocals, Tyler can unleash the intricate solos where he sees fit. Just as his diverse influences, Tyler holds songs that consist of “made up” tales of clever metaphors to witty songs that will have you smiling.
