Tyler Resch – They say you can tell a lot about a person by their shoes, like where they’ve been and where they’re going. The amount of wear on Tyler Resch’s old scuffed up pair of Red Wings tell the story of a long journey filled with hard work. Born and raised on the west-central plains of Minnesota, Tyler comes from the rustic leftovers of a rural American lifestyle that is slowly fading, but remains alive and well in the songs he sings. Hand-me-down guitars from his grandfather helped ignite Tyler’s passion at an early age, and his father’s musical tastes introduced him to artists that he still draws inspiration from today. If his sound feels somewhat traditional, you can probably blame his upbringing. “Country music torch bearers like Marty Stuart, Alan Jackson, and Dwight Yoakam feel like old friends,” he says. In fact, Tyler cut his teeth playing country covers of his ‘old friend’s songs’ at little honky tonks all over the upper mid-west. “I didn’t go to college after high school,” he notes. “I worked at a hot rod shop building cars during the week and played shows on the weekends. I felt like I had to follow the music, but hey.. I can probably fix my own bus out on the road!” Chasing that neon rainbow eventually led Tyler to Nashville, Tennessee in 2016 and it didn’t take long to find some traction. His songwriting ability quickly sparked the interest of award winning producer and Hall of Fame songwriter Byron Hill (Gary Allan, Kathy Mattea, and others). Together, they started writing songs for what would become Tyler’s debut album. Although his sound remains rooted in country music, his genre blending style proves he’s no one-trick-pony. His songs have been described as “country music with a rock and roll attitude,” and “hard-driving heartland country.” Uninterested in chasing trends, his progressive brand of raucous country music seems to connect with a generation young and old. Look for Tyler as he hits the open road, forging his own path and putting in a lot of “Honkytonk Overtime” along the way.
REVIEW:
TYLER RESCH/Honkytonk Overtime
Writers: Tyler Resch/Byron Hill; Producer: Byron Hill; Publisher: Triage/Ramber American/DHM, ASCAP; BHP
– The latest discovery by Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame member Byron Hill steps out with a collection titled Highways and Honkytonks. This toe-tapping standout tune from it boasts frothing guitar accompaniment, a blue-collar lyric and a sincere vocal delivery. So wonderfully catchy that you want to dance around the room while it spins. Get to know this guy’s music.
