About Me

Born in Lander, WY Tyler Stenson (28) considers himself a cowboy. Now Portland based, he writes of those days as if a Midwestern Poet; blending the old country-side with the new city-scape and delivering his songs from the heart, simple and true.

Former front man and songwriter for his bands Lander and Rhetoric Tuesday and twice named the Portland Songwriters Association Performing Songwriter of the Year (2007 and 2008), Stenson’s sound is putting lumps in throats and attracting a train of followers that find a piece of themselves in the sincerity of his words and the authenticity of his performances.
