Friday Night at Eighth and Rail in Opelika! Born in Mobile, Alabama, Tyler Reeve’s music is well rooted in Southern Americana. Growing up listening to his uncle play guitar and sing on the porch deck of a beach house, Tyler’s inspiration came at an early age. Tyler attended the Florida State University, where he became refreshingly dependent on his fan base. Paying his dues and performing in bars for eight years before recording his first album, Whiskey Down (February, 2008), he has tailored his music to the live venue. His performances are soulful and energetic. Tyler’s blend of Texas-style, raw country and Americana finds audiences that wait with open arms and raised glasses.
