Tyler Farr was first introduced to country music at age 16, when he spent a summer on the road with his stepfather, who played lead guitar for country icon George Jones. Tyler grew to love country music and he decided to make the move to Nashville. He landed a job as a bouncer at the legendary Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge until he was able to convince the management to let him sing. For the next few years, he would play at Tootsie’s four nights a week. An avid outdoorsman, Tyler found a friend in award-winning songwriter and fellow outdoorsman, Rhett Akins. After writing with some of the best songwriters in Nashville, Tyler eventually landed a publishing deal with Sony and it was that connection that ultimately helped him land his recording contract on BNA Records and release his debut album, Redneck Crazy. Tyler has toured extensively with Colt Ford, for whom Tyler wrote the song, “Hey Y’all,” as well as opened for Jerrod Niemann and Lee Brice in early 2011 on The Higher Education Tour. Originally signed to BNA Records, Farr then transferred to Columbia Records for which he has released two albums: Redneck Crazy in 2013 and Suffer in Peace in 2015. Overall, he has charted eight singles on the Billboard Hot Country Songs and Country Airplay charts. His highest ranking on the latter is “A Guy Walks Into a Bar”, which placed at No. 1 in 2015. “Our Town”, Farr’s eighth single release, was issued in late 2016.
