Tyler Ramsey

Tyler Ramsey is an introspective singer-songwriter and unique fingerstyle guitar player who has built a

rich catalog rooted in folk and melodic indie rock. Ramsey refined his sound while living in the western

mountainous region of North Carolina, where he studied local styles of folk and drew inspiration from

country-blues musicians who used to travel through the area. He has released highlights like 2008’s "A

Long Dream About Swimming Across the Sea" and 2011's "The Valley Wind", all while being the lead

guitarist and songwriter of Band of Horses for 10 years. Since striking back out on his own, he put out the

rustic-toned “For The Morning” in 2019 and his latest album, “New Lost Ages,” in February 2024, which

was captured in Seattle, Washington, by storied producer Phil Ek (Fleet Foxes, Father John Misty). The

10-song LP is an ongoing sonic quest — meticulously wandering across the musical landscape, this

undulating tone of indie and folk stylings.

The new album is about peeling back the layers of oneself, to locate and open up the dusty boxes of

your past from the back of the closet of your mind. It’s memories and mistakes, lessons and lifelines

bringing the present moment into focus — the future bright with possibility and purpose, so long as you

never forget the road to the here and now.

Everything Ramsey has absorbed in his travels — onstage and on the road — is continually channeled

through the lens of his words, unique tunings and guitar chords. It’s a whirlwind of sound and scope, all

radiating from one human being with guitar in-hand, a silent room of curious souls awaiting the next

number of beauty and grace conjured by Ramsey with such ease.
