About the Artist
Tyler Seton is a New Jersey–born, Rhode Island–based singer, songwriter, and guitarist whose music blends country, Americana, bluegrass energy, and the edge of blues-rock into a sound that is both timeless and personal.
A graduate of Montclair State University’s BFA Musical Theatre program, Tyler has been performing since his early teens, developing the stage presence and vocal command that now anchor his live shows. But it was in 2014, following the loss of his father, that songwriting became more than a performance — it became his purpose. Out of that period came his first EP, why I am, a collection forged from themes of hope, mental health, and connection.
The years that followed brought hard miles, personal battles, and invaluable experience. Tyler traveled throughout the United States and Europe and spent time in studios throughout Colorado, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and Connecticut, learning the craft of recording and production alongside world-class session musicians and engineers. Gaining experiences to write about and help rebuild himself from the ground up.
In recent years, his artistic direction has come into sharper focus. Long drawn to acoustic instruments — particularly his Martin guitars — Tyler began pushing the limits of what a singer-songwriter setup could deliver. After a pivotal Billy Strings concert experience in 2024 reignited his passion for roots-driven music, he dove deeper into texture, feel, and improvisational energy, merging traditional influence with modern atmosphere.
The result is a powerful and evolving sound: part country storyteller, part soundscape explorer, part front-porch philosopher.
Audiences have responded, crowds are growing, familiar faces return, and new listeners continue to find their way into the room.
This transformation is captured in his upcoming EP, Clean House (Private Release Summer 2026), with additional releases already in motion alongside session band The Salt Pond Poets, under the direction of Robert Cowley.
Whether performing in listening rooms, clubs, festivals, or private events, Tyler delivers songs with grit, honesty, and the kind of lived-in authenticity that can’t be manufactured.
