Tyler Ward!



When he walked into the audience in Colorado! 


Based in Denver Colorado Tyler Ward is a self produced musician.  He not only plays all his own instruments, records, and produces, makes videos, but also he writes and produces original songs.

Passion is what drives him to write, and you can hear all of that in his songs and lyrics.

Encouraged at a young age to pursue sports instead of music, Tyler spent most of his time working toward scoring touchdowns and winning football games rather than chasing his musical dream.

 After high school, Tyler got accepted to the United States Air force Academy where he started his collegiate football career.  He eventually (after many concussions) decided football wasn't where his true passion was and music and writing was.

He has performed with the likes of The Fray, The Jonas Brothers, and Gavin Degraw just to name a few. 
Now, you can find Tyler writing, recording and performing music all over the state of Colorado.  He is a very well known local artist and when I saw him perform in a local bar there (picture at the top) I thought he was amazing and should be more well known around the world.

 Like it, love it, hate it, whatever, just ENJOY it!!

Dave Patton

Dave Patten has been on Youtube creating all his music from start to finish.  When listening to him everything you hear on his self-produced albums- acoustic and electric guitars, piano, drums, bass, synthesized horns and string parts - is Dave.

Hard to believe I know!! I saw him in concert and when I saw him jump from instrument to instrument I was truly impressed with all of his talent.  Its very rare when a musician has the ability and talent to synchronize each aspect of his tracks to the exact specifications of his creative vision.

 His vocals have a rock-style feel to them but when he combines them with hip-hop beats it sets him apart from most other musicians.

Dave is from the Philadelphia are, where he grew up around music and played drunks in local bands.  In 2006, he took the leap to invest in himself and his career.  Now Dave uses his multitude of musical abilities, technical know-how, and boundless drive to create a sound that is different from anything else out there. 

Like it, love it, hate it, whatever, just ENJOY it!!
