About
Singer, songwriter and guitarist Tyller Gummersall began his career at the early age of eight performing Hank William’s Hey Good Lookin’ at the County Fair Talent contest.
That same year, Ty took the advice of a successful local performer and began taking lessons from his music mentor and two time national flat pick champ Gary Cook.
His eighth year was a big one in terms of getting his first horse, his first guitar, and winning his first talent contest! He persisted working at his future career and at fourteen he began voice lessons with respected Los Angleles voice coach Raven Kane Campbell.
His good fortune continued when he was able to record “Beer and a Rose” (2011 EP) with his Nashville Dream Band, a unit composed of members from Ryan Adams and John Prine’s bands (two of Ty’s musical hero’s) at the special Welcome to 1979 analog Nashville studio.
Tyller’s third studio album was produced by Grammy award winner Lloyd Maines. “Long Ride Home” and was very well received, enjoying radio play across the country, tens of thousands of streams and positive reviews.
In 2019, Tyller released his first podcast series with the help of Cowboys and Indians Magazine. The first season of Tales From The Trail, Ty visits with Charlie Daniels, Hayes Carl, Randy Rogers (and more), watch here.

Tyller Gummersall was raised on a ranch in Colorado but has been splitting his time between there, Texas and Nashville. However, I suspect
he does better in Colorado or Texas as he’s way too country for Nashville. The young singer and songwriter says himself that he realised that his “passion for country music did not lie within the confines of commercial country. Yeah try touting songs like this around Nashville, you won’t stand a chance. That ship sailed in about 1993, even if Gummersall is exactly the kind of good looking young artist they could use about now…

“Tyller Gummersall is well beyond his years when it comes to liking, and playing music. Maybe it’s from being immersed in his parent’s record collection. Maybe it’s from being a student of the great Gary Cook. Whatever it is, Tyller’s influences are heard within his music. He’s a great singer, and a great songwriter. Tyler Gmmersall’s future will be within the realm Americana Music.” – Bryant Liggett KDUR Radio
“Tyller Gummersall has a raw passion in his voice that draws you into his songs” -Raven Kane
“Gummersall, who’s music falls somewhere between vintage country and Americana fare. A protégée of two-time national flat pick champ Gary Cook – best known locally for his work with the Bar-D Wranglers – Gummersall is a double threat on guitar and vocals as well as a songwriter whose sophisticated work belies his years” Chris Aaland – The Durango Telegraph
