Summary
Tyler Gregory (Lawrence, Kansas) 

Hailing from the town of Wamego in the hills of Kansas, folk/Americana/bluegrass musician Tyler Gregory can regularly be found performing 260+ shows a year. With his steam-powered melodies, Gregory’s mix of blues and roots music privileges aesthetics of passion and freedom. Performing his live shows mainly on guitar/banjo/stomp-box/vocals, Gregory is based in Lawrence, Kansas, where he found a like-minded community of musicians with which to surround himself. Greatly influenced by the life and music of Woody Guthrie, Tyler explores the aesthetics of a touring troubadour while bringing his own unique voice to the performance of traditionally-framed songs.
