We hadn’t heard his name before he called our station on the long drive home to Durango, Colorado from his most recent gig. Tyller Gummersall came by for a surprise visit to the Ski Country Tune Shop and left us wanting more. There’s something unexpected about the sound that comes from this kind and respectful Colorado artist. His presence is unimposing but his voice takes you by surprise and commands your attention. It’s something that comes from within, something that cannot be trained, and something that we don’t hear regularly in mainstream country music anymore—the days of Garth Brooks voices are past but it’s our hope that artists like Tyller Gummersall can bring an original version of that sound back!
Gummersall at 25 years old has a sound and presence that lead you to believe he’s been working at music for a much longer lifetime. Though his career did start at eight years old when he got his first guitar and his first performance at the County Fair Talent contest! He was recently featured in the June/July Cowboys & Indians Magazine, has opened for artists like Cole Swindell, and plans to spend the summer touring through Colorful Colorado!
In our Ski Country Tune Shop Tyller played a couple songs from his latest album Long Ride Home including “Rocky Mountain Man” and “Kiss Me” and these happen to be our favorites! Long Ride Home is an album full of authenticity, relatable stories and lyrics that stick. You can find more about Tyller and his music at TyllerMusic.com or find him on Facebook and Instagram!

For now, take a look at our videos from his acoustic set at the Ski Country Tune Shop! We can’t wait until he comes back through and as soon as that happens, you’ll be the first to know!
