About Me

Boston born Tyvek Velvette arrived in Daytona Beach in 2005. After a year of hard luck and debauchery with the Gingham Cowboys, he set sail for the southernmost point of the continental United States - Cayo Hueso.
In July 2006, he began playing solo shows in local dives around Key West. In March of 2007, he recorded the 17 song masterwork, "Songs About Drunkards, Dope & The Devil". The recording session is a one take, 47 minute performance of songs by Ty's favorite songwriters spanning Lonnie Irving to Hank III and includes the original cut "Will Fuck For Food".
