Over a 20-year career, Tyler McCumber has become a musical staple in South Texas.  His brand of Red Dirt Country and Rural Rock come together across three albums with lyrical themes of oil field poverty, the struggle of the American family, and working as a drug mule in Louisiana.  A lifelong farrier by trade, Tyler’s connection to the land and tradition shines through his music in ways other writers struggle to access.  For Tyler, his attitude and grit are anchored in his fortitude and faith acquired through living a hard-fought life.

 

“Something akin to a musical Steinbeck novel…” – Jules Taylor, STEAM Magazine

 

“There is no doubting the stories McCumber tells & there is no question in the listener's mind that they are hearing the truth.” Kelcy Salisbury, Farce the Music

 

"Tyler’s had a rough life, and this album allows us to live it with him, albeit, fortunately for us, from the comfort of our favorite listening areas.” – Steve Circeo, Texas Music Times
