If you have been reading this blog, and just let me say thank you so much, you know I have had some shows with Training Wheel Fire which then became, simply, Tyler Bender. Well I am thrilled to say that I am now the permanent bassist for Tyler Bender. The bass player I was filling in for had to many commitments and bowed out leaving the gig to me.

I have already had the opportunity to start crafting my own lines, which is really exciting, yet challenging for me. If you made it out to the Birdy’s show you got to hear the two new songs which featured those lines. If you didn’t, check out the videos.

The band is made up of some quality players and some great guys. Jon, on lead guitar, has been a good friend of mine since I was in high school and was the reason I got to play with Tyler in the first place. Tyler is a gifted song writer and a great singer and has some killer stage presence. Brian is a bass players dream when it comes to drummers. He has great time and doesn’t overplay but grooves which makes writing bass parts even easier. Andy is like the swiss army knife of the band, playing rhythm guitar, keys, and singing backup vocals. There is a great vibe throughout the group both musically and off-stage.

I encourage everyone to check out the MySpace page and listen to some of the music, and keep an eye out here for upcoming shows.

If you are interested in getting a copy of the recently released “Chicago Sessions” leave a comment or shoot me an email and I will get one to you.
