The McCoy Tyler Band

You can call it alt. country, you can call it modern folk--but no matter what label
you put on it, in the current climate of popular music The McCoy Tyler Band's songs are
refreshingly lucid, rootsy, and at times downright danceable. With influences ranging
from Neil Young to The Devil Makes Three, Townes Van Zandt to Railroad Earth, with a
little Bill Monroe and Tony Rice thrown in for good measure, this progressive acoustic
trio from Santa Cruz, CA will have you out of your seat and dancing in no time. Rooted
deep in the customs of American folk music, The McCoy Tyler Band seeks to pay
homage to such traditions while incorporating their own unique style of lyricism,
instrumentation, and performance. Their motto (in the words of David Grisman): “Any
tradition results from free thinking.”
