Brother pop duo “Tyler and Ryan” are making their mark in the music industry, becoming known for their unique sound and originality.
The New England natives, from Bristol, Rhode Island grew up performing in bars and open mic nights. After a severe football injury left him unable to play, Tyler, the older of the two, began a classic rock cover band with Ryan. A couple of months later the brother’s experienced a life-threatening house fire, thus inspiring them to start writing music to better cope with anxiety.
The brothers went on to create their YouTube channel in 2010. In time, “Tyler & Ryan” became known in the YouTube community for their original takes on Top 40 music. In 2014, “Tyler & Ryan” won Ryan Seacrest’s online competition “Best Cover of All About That Bass” with their rendition of the song. They later got an opportunity to work with notable artists Charlie Puth and Ludacris on Ryan Seacrest’s YouTube Original TV series “Best.Cover.Ever”. In 2016, “Tyler & Ryan” opened up for Ingrid Michaelson, Shaggy and One Republic at the Mix 104.1 “Mixfest” in Boston, performing for 50,000 people, their biggest crowd yet.
    In 2018 they released seven singles, accumulating over 2 million streams just on Spotify alone. The “Tyler & Ryan” fan base has driven the brothers to over 140,000 Subscribers on YouTube, and a combined 25 million views. This year, the brothers plan on releasing more singles than ever, rebranding themselves to fit their sound: retro & real.

A trusted troubadour for hot summer nights and cold beers, Owen is now in his forties, tangling with separations from lost lovers, raising kids, and growing out of the fresh-faced kid that headed down to Nashville 20 years back with a six-string and a dream.  Case in point: Dreams to Dream, Owen’s long-awaited, Shooter Jennings-co-produced foray into classic, honky-tonk country, out November 7 via Good Company Entertainment. Dreams to Dream, Owen’s first independent studio album, featuring 10 original tracks and two stellar covers, tells the tale of a man at a crossroads — and what it takes to set out a new path. 

Owen wasn’t expecting much when he commented on one of Shooter Jennings’ Instagram posts, half-jokingly suggesting that they make a honky-tonk record, but the producer called his bluff. Two days later, Owen’s manager had Jennings on the line and, soon, Owen was on his way to L.A. and Jennings’ Sunset Sound. It was a cozy yet electric scene: Jennings and Owen cracking jokes in the sepia-toned studio, creativity crackling as they collaborated with the likes of songwriters Ben Chapman and Kendell Marvel, as well as long-time shooter pal, guitarist/harmonic player Leroy Powell. 

“All my friends who have heard my stuff have gone, ‘Dude, Jake, this is you man. This is who you've always tried to be,’” Owen says. “Sometimes you need to get outside what's comfortable, what people think you are, or think you should be, and take a risk.”
