Tyler Moore Guitar

The audience can expect a variety of genres: rock, pop, americana, country, R&B, and classic rock. They'll hear a lot of original songs and a few cover songs from independent artists. They'll hear electric, bass, and acoustic with backing drums and occasional solos. My music is tailored to artists such as Springsteen, Mellencamp, Galaxie 500, Bedhead, and Cat Power. My music is also relatable to all generations, from the late 1960's to today.

I’m a rock, blues, pop (and a little Americana) songwriter, guitarist, and vocalist.
I was born in Birmingham, AL, a child of the 1980’s. I enlisted the Air Force right after high school and served 23 years, retiring as a captain in 2012. In the Air Force, I served overseas in the Philippines, Korea, Hawaii, and the Middle East. On the mainland U.S. I was stationed in Maryland, Texas, Virginia, New Mexico, and Washington D.C. I relocated to the Raleigh area in 2013, and this is my permanent home with my wife Dianna and two sons.
Although I grew up listening to R&B and Motown, I never had an interest in learning to play an instrument until my 40s. I bought my first guitar (a red Stratocaster named Rachel–and yes, I still have it) in 2012 and taught myself to play.
Despite playing guitar for years, songwriting didn’t start until 2019, when I wrote my first song: The Back Roads, a little ditty about the backroads of North Carolina. Little did I know that The Back Roads would be one of HUNDREDS of songs (and counting) I would write. Turns out I’ve been blessed with the gift of storytelling and songwriting.
Once my songwriting took off, I started playing Open Mic around the Raleigh area. And what became a hobby became a craft, which became a side hustle, which became a career.

Basic stage or floor level accommodations approximately 8' x 8'. There may be times (depending on the length of the performance) I may need a chair or a barstool.
I'll need a basic outlet and, if available, lighting, floor speakers, microphone, and a PA system.
If these items aren't available, I can bring my own microphone, stand, audio cables, and a portable speaker.
