Back-Porch Bluegrass ~ Crosby Tyler 12:45AM - 2:00PM
Crosby Tyler's music is a blend of backporch-bluegrass with Delta blues. Add a keen sense of social commentary and wrap it up in a one man band and you've got The One Man Tub-Thumpin' Band! His two critically acclaimed albums 10 Songs Of America Todayand Lectric Prayer, along with his national/international tours, have sent critics to praise "hallelujah" that a fresh voice has emerged with lyrics and melodies that pierce through the plasticity and mundane of society. Social misfits, addicts, railroad kids, circus clowns, outlaws, truckers, are placed in present day tongue and cheek narratives and self explorations, pounded out in a one man band assault. Influenced by roots music from the present day to the early 1800's his songs will transcend you as if you were at a campfire sing-a-long with Stephen Foster and Charles Bukowski.
