Blurb

With the senior superlative, “Most Likely to Become Jack Johnson,” under his belt and the influence of his dad’s jazz and mom’s love for Simon & Garfunkel, Tyler W. Somers has been playing music for over 20 years, most recently in the duo Jenny & Tyler with his wife, you guessed it, Jenny. While the folk-pop duo takes a break from the road, Tyler is pursuing a solo career. He’s bringing his rhythmic guitar and powerful vocals to living rooms and churches. His faith invades every part of his life, notably his songwriting. Drawing from musical influences such as Coldplay and Mumford & Sons (and of course, Jack), Tyler writes songs of hope within grief, light amid darkness, and love above all.

Bio

Born into a world of rich lyrics and melodies, I am the son of two artists. My father’s piano brought jazz into our home, and instilled in me an appreciation for classical music through his own compositions and performances. My mom’s voice echoed through the halls with the melodies of Barbara Streisand and Simon & Garfunkel. 

I picked up a guitar at nine years old. Soon after, I found myself playing Nirvana covers in garage bands. Grunge gave way to mid-2000s acoustic pop, and instead of “Most Likely to Succeed,” my classmates bestowed upon me the senior superlative “Most Likely to Become Jack Johnson.” Earlier this year, I stood outside Nissan Stadium in Nashville with my daughter to catch a free-to-us Coldplay concert. These sounds run deep in my soul and influence the way that I write and perform today. 

When I was 15, after a close friend’s passing, I heard about Jesus for what seemed like the first time. My life has never been the same. Faith invades every part of my life, including my music. I write songs of hope within grief, light amid darkness, love above all.

Jenny & Tyler Press Quotes

“Husband-and-wife tag team Jenny & Tyler of Nashville unveil a countryfied, melodious pop sensibility on this new disc for Residence Music. The titular song and “Song for You” start off the album on a reverential mode…“Beloved One” is as lovely as its name implies…“Fly Away” is a hauntingly melancholic mulling on the possibilities of the future, and “To the Sea” is a fitting sendoff, both to the album and its contemplations.”
– Washington Times

“…a similar vocal chemistry to Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová but also a real knack for the dynamic bombast of Coldplay…”
– Popmatters

“Whether it’s the driving, swelling orchestral title track or the gorgeous ambient folk-pop update of fan favorite “Song for You,” Jenny & Tyler’s latest stirs your soul with anthemic music, lyrics that wind their way through your heart and crushing harmonies.”

Jenny & Tyler Blurb II

Independent alternative folk/rock duo Jenny & Tyler return with yet another noteworthy collection of genre-bending, heart-rending songs that throw sparks in all the right directions. Simultaneously forward-looking and anchored to the couple’s acclaimed, stripped-down roots, There Will Be A Song threads that ever-illusive needle between intimacy and aggressive expectancy. Over the space of twelve new compositions, Jenny & Tyler explore issues of identity, freedom, reconciliation, and beauty with music that whispers and roars simultaneously. Theirs is human music for a synthetic age – and until all fragmented places are made whole – they will keep singing their fragile, powerful, and ultimately triumphant song.
