besides watch Netflix and sitaround and sit around and mope.
SPEAKER_00 (04:56):
So I hear you.
Well, it's not good to sitaround and mope, so you're doing
the right thing now.
Tell me a little bit about yourhometown of Missouri.
Tell me if I was uh Tyler, letme put it this way.
If I was uh heading out to yourhometown, I'm on the main drag
going in, what would be thefirst thing I would see?
SPEAKER_01 (05:13):
The first thing you'd see, you'd see uh a truck
stop, and then you pull off onthe exit, and then you'd see a
McDonald's, and then you'd see aTaco Bell, and then you'd see a
Sonic, and then you'd see asubway.
SPEAKER_00 (05:28):
It's all the things we need.
SPEAKER_01 (05:30):
All yeah, all the small town, all the small town
food chains.
SPEAKER_00 (05:34):
Do you have a Buckies?
SPEAKER_01 (05:36):
No, uh they just they just finally put a Buckies
in um Missouri, uh inSpringfield, just not not too
far from where I'm from.
SPEAKER_00 (05:47):
But I hear that place is unbelievable.
SPEAKER_01 (05:51):
Yeah, I guess I guess you're from where are you
from?
SPEAKER_00 (05:53):
No, no, we're in upstate New York.
We do not have a Bucky's, yeah.
We do not, and that's uppercase.
We do not, but um traveling, uh,there was a Buckeys in Virginia.
We got picked up, I picked up uha t-shirt there, and um I got
Bucky the Beaver on it.
So it's pretty cool.
People see it right away andthey know that that's a Bucky's
(06:15):
t-shirt, even though we don'thave a Buckeys around here.
SPEAKER_01 (06:17):
So it's a it's a very iconic logo.
SPEAKER_00 (06:20):
And the place, I guess, is super huge.
It's like the biggest truck stopin the world.
I mean, it's crazy.
Plus the store and how they'rebranding it, and they've got
everything from food togroceries to you want to sit
down and eat, to uh, you know,if you're driving a truck, you
need to take a shower.
They have all that.
They it's just huge, yeah, hugestuff.
So yeah, that's cool.
Do you remember the first songthat you ever wrote?
SPEAKER_01 (06:44):
Yeah, um, it's did it suck?
Um, I mean, some may say itsucks, but um, it's a song I
wrote.
It's called it's calledBreathing, and it's kind of
about um being being that kidthat's by himself and and super
(07:07):
anxious, and um it's whatactually got me to start posting
on um social media because I itit talks about life on the road,
like working and a uh helper Iwas working with, I showed him
the song and he's like dude, youneed to post that.
(07:29):
And I was like, Yeah, I probablywon't.
SPEAKER_05 (07:31):
That's cool.
SPEAKER_01 (07:31):
I was like, I I'm I'm definitely not going to, but
one night I I had I had a fewbeers and um I just I recorded
it, just a black screen, postedon TikTok, and I got I got 100
200 likes and I thought I was Ithought I was the real deal.
SPEAKER_00 (07:52):
Dude, that's cool though.
That's cool.
And the only reason I said or Iasked, did it suck?
But because every artist I talkto, and you know, it's just
like, do you remember the firstsong that you wrote?
And nine times out of ten, Ithink you're the only one that
said it didn't.
It's like, oh, you don't evenwant to hear it.
It was terrible.
Oh my god, I can't believe andyou know they'll go on and on
and on about it.
So that's why I was expectingthat answer, I guess.
(08:14):
But here it's just the opposite.
That's cool.
That's cool.
SPEAKER_01 (08:18):
Yeah, like I said, it it's kind of what got me
started at all.
I was I was uh I just got off uha shift in Indiana and I was
driving back to the campground,and I just had this melody kind
of come to me, and I just I justwrote wrote it down and and just
(08:45):
kind of helped me learn, getbetter at guitar, and like
actually pay attention to likedetails and stuff, and yeah, it
was it was it was the start ofit all, really.
SPEAKER_00 (08:56):
Do you realize what's happening with you?
Do you realize?
I mean, how often, for example,how often do you jump on your
socials and look at the numbers?
I mean, if I was in your shoes,I'd be doing that like every 10
minutes, going, holy crap, lookslook what's going on.
SPEAKER_01 (09:11):
Yeah, it's it's hard to ignore.
Uh it's I I try not to let it,you know, consume my like the
the music.
But it it it is a good feeling.
I will I will tell tell you thatbecause it's just it's grown in
such a quick time, and I've seenit, I've seen it grow super
(09:33):
quick.
I've been here every step of theway, and it's it's pretty
insane.
SPEAKER_00 (09:39):
Yeah.
Uh I see Diane Lochner's alreadyon there.
It says, Love Tyler.
Love keeps me sane.
Uh oh yeah, she is one of myreps with triple uh tigers, and
I just absolutely love her.
So yeah.
A lot of people I talked to alot of the different uh, of
course, it's my job to talk tothe different labels, but she is
she's right up there, man.
She's one of the best.
(09:59):
So hey, um, you know, keep mekeeps me sane.
Uh that went absolutely crazy.
That was nuts.
Uh, in one month alone, you got20 million streams, and we're
higher than that now.
I think we're in the mid-30s atleast.
Uh, Billboard debut, the wholedeal.
When did you realize that uhthat song wasn't just blowing
(10:20):
up, it was taking over?
SPEAKER_01 (10:22):
Um, I saw I I don't know, it was it was the first
week.
It it was like dang, like wewere we were saying the first
day that it might get 50,000streams, and then it it quadr it
quadrupled that and it hit200,000, and then every single
(10:43):
day it just it just did the samethe same number, if not more.
And so it was it was kind ofquick.
I mean, everything about keepsme sane went really quick, you
know.
Um just from releasing it toteasing it.
We teased it, produced it,released it, and then it was
(11:03):
just all from there.
It was just happened in twoweeks' time, maybe.
And um it yeah, it was it wasn'tit wasn't long after we released
it.
It was like, yeah, this thissong's doing doing the thing.
SPEAKER_00 (11:17):
So when you um when you say we, I would imagine at
this point, and because of thestreams, the number of streams,
and and obviously you're on theroad because you're in a hotel
right now.
Um what uh yeah, you you haveother people helping you with
the with the socials now andeverything.
You used to do it by yourself inthe beginning, but now it got to
be so crazy.
SPEAKER_01 (11:38):

accounts.
Um okay.
SPEAKER_00 (11:43):
I try to know that.
SPEAKER_01 (11:45):
Yeah, right right now I'm I'm the only one that
posts on my accounts, and um Ijust I say we because it's I
feel like it's a collaborative,collaborative effort because you
know, producers, the theplayers, you know, my
management, the label, they werelike everybody kind of came
together super quickly and umjust made it happen, you know,
(12:08):
listen to listen to the fans andthe people that love the song
and the sound on social media.
And um, we just so um that's whyI say we, yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (12:18):

Do you do you follow football?
SPEAKER_01 (12:38):

will one of these days.
SPEAKER_00 (12:47):
Well, we're all about the Bills up here in the
Northeast, yeah.
So and they lost two in a rowalready, so it didn't.
I don't know, that's not lookinggood.
Do you watch the baseballplayoffs?
SPEAKER_01 (12:56):

SPEAKER_00 (12:58):
Okay, nothing.
I get it.
Nothing, yeah.
No, I get it.
I get it.
So I mean, what do you do?
I mean, you play music, youwrite songs, um, you take good
care of yourself, I wouldassume.
But uh, are you in?
I mean, what do you watch?
What do you do?
I mean, uh talk talk to me.
SPEAKER_01 (13:16):
I watch, I mean, I watch Netflix, but a lot of I
get this question a lot.
It's like, what do you what doyou do for a hobby?
And it's like, well, I'm I'mdoing my hobby now.
It's because it's still fresh tome.
It's doesn't like it's it'ssomething I picked up for a
hobby.
I picked up guitar for a hobby,well, you know, wrote for a
hobby, and it just kind of stillfeels like that in a way.
SPEAKER_00 (13:39):
You need to keep it a hobby.
Yeah, as long as you're doingthis, it's gotta be a hobby
because if you enjoy doing it,it'll continue to grow, and
you'll just you know, just onefan at a time, and already
you've got a following.
So it's just it's just gonnakeep going.
When it doesn't become a hobby,then it's time to rethink what
you're doing.
Yeah, you know what I mean?
(13:59):
When it becomes work.
I imagine you get out there onthat stage every night and it's
gotta pump you up.
Being such a new and youngerartist, to see the fans, to see
the people singing along to yoursongs, uh keeps me sane.
Uh it's that's it's gotta besuch a feeling on stage.
SPEAKER_01 (14:17):
Yeah, it's it's kind of mind-blowing, really, in a
way, but it makes me happy.
I mean, it's it's something Inever expected to happen.
It's something I I I grew uplistening to like people talking
about the the Elvises and theJohnny Cashes and all those
people, like they were so hugeand they had everybody knew
(14:40):
them, and it was kind of just uhit wasn't even a fantasy, it was
just kind of like oh that'scool, and um and now having that
call and response in in a crowdwhenever I sing a song, it's
like wow, like who who wouldhave thought?
SPEAKER_00 (14:58):
Uh let's talk about your writing a little bit.
And um when you sit down towrite, what comes first?
Is it the lyric, the melody, oreven the caffeine?
SPEAKER_01 (15:09):
Uh I don't it's sometimes just melodies hit me,
or sometimes I just kind offreestyle like I just start
spitting stuff out and somethinglands, and I'm like, oh that
sounds cool.
So um it keeps me sane.
I I pretty much freestyled thefirst verse, and I just was just
(15:34):
playing like a chord progressionon guitar sitting on my couch
after after having a few beers,and I just started just saying
stuff, and it kind of just itcame to and then the next day I
I mean it was late, so I waslike, I better go to bed.
(15:55):
So I had a write the next day inin town in Nashville, sorry, and
um I I was like, hey what do youguys think of this?
And they're like, Oh, it soundsreally cool.

Okay, and um I just was postingon TikTok and they had I had
left my my email in my bio and Ihad gotten a I had gotten an
email from them.
SPEAKER_00 (16:45):

many people that about your agethat are trying to do what you
want to do, and they're posting,but you you never know, just
keep going because eventuallysomebody's gonna see it, uh, or

SPEAKER_01 (18:46):
It really doesn't, I promise you.
Like people, I promise you itdoes not, it does not take work.
SPEAKER_00 (18:52):
It's it's kind of I love it because it's like a
signature.
I now I know if I see you, Iwould know exactly who you are.
SPEAKER_01 (19:01):
So the story behind the mustache is I was a senior
in high school and I was gettingready to work on the road, and I
was getting ready to go toschool to to weld, and I watched
Tombstone.
SPEAKER_00 (19:19):
I don't know if you know that movie with Val Kilmer
and um I had not seen it, but Iknow this, yes, yeah, Kurt
Russell, yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (19:26):
So um Val Kilmer has the signature mustache, and I'd
watched that movie, and I waslike, I I love the movie, and I
don't know.
I just my dad gave me goodmustache jeans, so I was like, I
wonder if I could do that.
So I just started like pullingit out and and and then does
your dad have a stash like that?
(19:47):
Not like this.
He just he has basically thesame thing but without the
curls, and yeah, oh I love it.
SPEAKER_00 (19:52):
Um you have to wax it every day.
Yes, yep, yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (19:56):
I gotta wax it, and I don't know, it's really it
really wasn't hard.
It's just uh my but my uncle, hewas like, he's like, you're not
gonna be able to cut thatwhenever you go out on the road.
I'm like, why not?
He's like, well, that's howpeople what people are gonna
know you for.
SPEAKER_00 (20:09):
And it's got a good point.
SPEAKER_01 (20:11):
I was like, I was like, all right.
So I just I kept it and then I'dcut it and then I'd grow it back
and then I'd cut it, and then Iwas doing music.
I actually like started with themusic career, and I just I just
started I love it.
I just started doing it againand don't change it.
(20:32):
I figured why not, yeah.
Maybe one day, maybe one daywhenever like I get even even
bigger, I'll just I'll cut itoff and just scare people to
death.
You know what?
SPEAKER_00 (20:42):
People won't, you know.
I mean, besides of coursethey're gonna know your music,
but it's your look too.
It all goes together.
This is you, and and the soundthat you're putting out goes
with that mustache.
It's you, yeah, it's TylerNance.
Yeah, and that is that is cool.
Let's back it up a little bit.
Uh keeps me sane.
Tell me a little bit about thatsong.
What's behind that?
SPEAKER_01 (21:04):
Uh like I said, it was it was kind of just
spitballing, like for and justlike I was just thinking about
like past experiences, and Ijust was kind of just throwing
stuff out there, and I played Iplayed in I just played this
little slide thing on an Eminor, and that was the start of
(21:27):
it.
I was like, it kind of soundstrippy, and I just kind of heard
that with the like psilocybin,and like it just kind of felt
like felt like that psychedelic,hallucinogic type of feel.
So I I said Nick a Jack Siliconwith the maple leaves.
SPEAKER_00 (21:47):
I just like yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (21:50):
It kind of related to I get it a a time in my life,

So I just I appreciate your honesty, and uh
it's not uncommon.
I talked to a lot of people thatwent through a lot and they've
learned a lot from theirmistakes, and it sounds like
you've really learned a lot, andespecially at a young age, you
know what you need to do now.

I old Dominion was setting up, but I walked back
there and I was gonna I wasgonna walk up there, but I
didn't wanna I didn't want tointerfere.
I I I figured I dude I'd have myI'd have my uh time whenever you
will have your moment and Ithink that'll be pretty soon
too.
SPEAKER_00 (24:42):
You got the right people working with you, so
that's cool.
Yeah, but uh I just I I've beenbackstage at the Opera.
It's pretty cool.
It's pretty cool.
SPEAKER_01 (24:48):
Yeah, it's it's special.
There's so much uh so muchhistory and um special stuff
that's gone on there.
I guess another thing was my uhmanager.
I guess I shouldn't say thatbecause that's so uh the the RCA
studio uh RCA studios where likeJerry Reed, Elvis, and oh yeah,
(25:14):
that's that's all the highwaymovies.
SPEAKER_00 (25:15):
Studio A or what is yeah, yeah, I've been there a
couple of times.
It's kind of creepy though.
SPEAKER_01 (25:21):
Yeah, I mean I in a good way.
I should I I did some liveperformances in there and not
the studio, not the studio A,but the studio uh the the big
open one, not the one.
SPEAKER_00 (25:36):
Oh, okay, all right.
SPEAKER_01 (25:37):
But like I I was there's still been like so many
musician great musicians thathave performed in there and or
played and recorded in there,and that was kind of like
breathtaking in a way, becauseit's like who would have who
would have thought like I'd Iknow, I know.
SPEAKER_00 (25:54):
We um I went there once, I don't know, I was doing
the tourist thing a lot of yearsago and we ended up going there,
and uh to walk in to see thepiano, to see the microphone, to
see the tape decks and thedifferent tracks, you know, that
they they're still there.
It's like they shut the lightsoff and left, they locked the
door and left and lefteverything as it was.
And you know, then you'rethinking, all right, well, Elvis
(26:17):
used that mic, or Jerry LeeLewis was on that piano, or it's
like holy crap.
It's just you know, you couldyou could it's so quiet in
there, you could hear a pindrop, and you're just thinking,
wow.
So and and to be an artist towalk into a place like that,
it's gotta be like, wow, youknow, it's just that feeling.
Just that feeling.
SPEAKER_01 (26:38):
It's like what I what I grew up listening to.
Um my uh my grandma, she I Ialways joke and tell people she
was kind of like my my dealerfor music.
I love it.
And um, I was she she's whatmade me fall in love with like
(26:58):
all the the old the the oldguys, I guess.
SPEAKER_00 (27:01):
I was gonna ask you about that because you mentioned
it in the beginning, but goahead.
Yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (27:04):
Yeah.
Yeah.
Um wow.
She she uh would always send mehome with uh a C D and like hey
uh do you know this guy?
And I was like just a littlekid.
I didn't I didn't know.
So I was like, no.
So she'd send she'd send me homewith like the Everly brothers or
or just Conway Twitty or justElvis and I I had this little
(27:28):
RCA CD player and I'd have itturned down to the the last uh
the last little deal so I canhear it and then make my sisters
mad playing it through thehouse.
And and that's just what I'dfall asleep to, and I'd I'd I
don't know, just that's that'sthat's another thing, like be
going into that studio and Iguess A and B and it that's what
(27:52):
made it so special is it's sofunny that you said you know,
you would it's not really funny,but uh that you would listen to
the you know these artists andturn it down so you don't, you
know, only you could hear it andget into it.
SPEAKER_00 (28:03):
It's like me and radio always wanted to be on the
air, and uh I'd listen to radiostations at night and I'd turn
it down all the way so nobodywould know, but I'd be
listening, I'd be laying in mybed with a little radio under my
pillow listening.
Yeah, because that it's almostthe same thing, just kind of you
know, you did it with music andI did it with radio, so you
know, yeah.
That's kind of cool.
(28:23):
That's kind of it's really cool,as a matter of fact.
Um, if you could put together,um Tyler Nance is who we're
talking to tonight, and it'spretty cool.
He's up and coming, he's gonnabe all over your radio, he's
gonna be all over youreverything you do pretty soon.
But uh, if you could puttogether your dream tour, any
three artists living or dead,who's on the bill and who's
buying the first round after theshow?
(28:47):
That's a toughie.
SPEAKER_01 (28:49):
That I want to say Elvis would be pretty cool,
Keith Whitley.
Oh my gosh.
Um and the last one, man,there's just so many.
Uh I feel like can I say likethe highwayman?
Sure.
Absolutely.
Well, it's the whole thing.
Yeah, no, no, totally.
SPEAKER_00 (29:09):
Totally.
SPEAKER_01 (29:10):
I mean, that's kind of a cheat code, but I feel like
no, no, that's okay.
SPEAKER_00 (29:13):
I get it.
Yeah, that would that would be ahell of a show, that's for sure.
Yeah, yeah and uh wow.
So uh when fans hear a Tyler Nansong for the first time, what do
you hope they feel besides theurge to hit replay and play it
over again?
SPEAKER_01 (29:29):
Um you hope they feel kind of what I feel
whenever I hear whenever I heardor still hear songs that like
really like reach out to me andgrab me.
It's like that, just likegetting that that chill, you
know.
I don't know if you know whatI'm talking about, but like
those cold chills, like wow,like I feel like if you can make
(29:52):
somebody feel that, then that'swell says something a lot.
SPEAKER_00 (29:56):
You know, you're in the format.
Well, let's if you want to call.
Genres or whatever country.
Um, if you can touch the heartof your fans or your listeners,
then you know you're doingsomething right.
If you can, I guess that wouldgo along with like, you know, if
you get a cold chill orsomething, that you know, that's
like wow, okay.

Totally get that, totally getthat.
Um, so you're in Pittsburgh now.

uh animal.
And I've never been to this partof the country, I've never been
to, you know, uh Pennsylvania oranywhere it's more beautiful, so
it is, and this is the time ofthe year.

car, and then going back to theairport and going to another
place.
It keeps life interesting.

How do you like the early mornings?
Because I would imagine, forexample, you got to get up at
the crack of dawn, you're gonnago in, you're gonna hang out on
a morning show.
And for what people don'trealize is that artists like
you, like Tyler, um, this iswhat they do.
It's called a radio tour, andthis is their way of meeting the
programmers, seeing the radiostations, uh, establishing a
(32:24):
relationship in hopes that yousupport them or they support
you.
So that's cool.
That's cool.
Yeah, absolutely, 100%.
SPEAKER_01 (32:33):
The the early mornings, I mean, they they're
not great, but you know, I Ikind of I've done this before,
but just not with music.
And I guess my way of staying umI guess not grounded, but just
not going crazy and yeah, yeah,is just you know, looking back
(32:57):
to what I did do a year ago andwhat I'm doing what I'm doing
now.

happening so quickly, andgetting the the privilege to you
(45:23):
know come go to these stationsand absolutely absolutely meet
all these people.
SPEAKER_00 (45:27):
So you know, yeah one thing you gotta remember,
and I say it from the other sideof things, being a radio
programmer and on the air herein our market of Syracuse is the
fact that it's a two-way street.
We play music that you give usthat is good music.
That is what makes us who weare.
And in turn, of course, if weyou know, we make you, I
shouldn't say we make you, butyou know, if it wasn't for
(45:50):
radio, you wouldn't be able toyou know, and there's all
different forms, of course.
We know some people thinkSpotify is radio, uh, you know,
but we do have, you know, wehave satellite radio, got
terrestrial radio, it all it allit all matters, it all matters.
So it's a two-way stream, it allmatters.
SPEAKER_01 (46:06):
Yeah, it takes many pieces to finish, finish the
puzzle.
SPEAKER_00 (46:10):
When uh when Billboard said you were the guy,
how how did how was that?
Man, that was huge.
SPEAKER_01 (46:17):
That was that was insane.
Um never would have pictured ina million years, if I'm being
honest.
And and you know, that happened,and it's like wow, like so cool.
SPEAKER_00 (46:30):
Yeah, so cool.
SPEAKER_01 (46:31):
Another one of those pinch me moments.
Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (46:34):
So and I'm sure you're gonna have a lot of
those, dude.
You're gonna be on the road,you're gonna be hitting up the
big shows.
You're gonna be uh I I could seeyou on some of these big shows
coming up next summer.
I know we're rolling into thethe off season, so to speak, yes
and no, but still, you know,when summer rolls around again
and all the big shows are outand people are looking for
openers and labels are gonna tryto get their artists with
(46:55):
certain artists.
That's all I I have the feelingI'm gonna see you.
And I'm gonna go, dude, I hadyou on my podcast.
That's what we're gonna bedoing.
So that's cool.
And that that's the other thing,you know.
I've had so many, um, of course,this is not about me, this is
about you, but I do want to saythat there's been so many people
like Nate Smith, for example.
I talked to him like I'm talkingto you now before a lot of what
(47:19):
happened happened.
And now I go back, and and Ijust saw him a few months ago
here in in town.
And it's like, dude, thatpodcast we did two years ago,
and it's like, that is sofreaking cool.
And it's it's before you wereanybody.
Well, you're always somebody, ifthat makes sense, but you you
know you know what I mean.
SPEAKER_01 (47:36):
So yeah, I know exactly what you mean.
Yeah, well, I'm like it's kindof I feel like that's kind of a

time.
SPEAKER_00 (01:57):
Uh, I think you made the right decision.

I mean, you're young enough.
Yeah, why not you go?
It's your passion, it's yourdream, so why not go for it?
It's just like me doing theradio thing and doing the
podcast thing, which I've beendoing for quite a while now.
So um, and Tyler, explain yoursound to someone who's still
trying to figure out thedifference between Americana and
America Been.
SPEAKER_01 (02:52):
Um it just kind of is what it has, it's a blend of
everything that I grew up on,like old country, bluegrass, uh,
uh rock from like the 50s and60s.
(03:14):
Um it's kind of a blend of Iguess all of that, you know.
Um I don't I don't a hundredpercent know what defines my
sound or Americana, but youknow, I I don't know if you need
kind of made kind of made it myown.
SPEAKER_00 (03:30):
Yeah, exactly.
So I don't know if you reallyneed like you know, it's this or
that, it's all of that.
Just kind of yeah, just kind ofdo it.
Uh you're from Missouri, and umwere you the kid with a guitar
like at every bonfire?
No, no, no, I uh you weregetting yelled at for making too
(03:50):
much noise on the porch.
I mean, what it just I was I wasnever that guy.
SPEAKER_01 (03:54):
I uh I just I kind of grew up on the outskirts of
town and well farther than theoutskirts of town.
I was oh I was 30 minutes fromfrom about everything.
So I just I grew up farming andkind of doing the uh living in
the country kid life and Ididn't really I didn't discover
(04:16):
guitar until fully until I was19.
I picked up a guitar duringCOVID whenever I was 16 and uh
to impress a girlfriend and Itouched it for about 20, 30
minutes and I put it in thecorner till I uh started growing
up and working on the road.
SPEAKER_00 (04:36):
Did you impress her?
SPEAKER_01 (04:39):
Not no.
It was it was it was whenever itwas actually it was whenever
whenever we broke up is wheneverI decided to pick it up because
you know I guess I didn't Ididn't have anything to do
besides watch Netflix and sitaround and sit around and mope.
SPEAKER_00 (04:56):
So I hear you.
Well, it's not good to sitaround and mope, so you're doing
the right thing now.
Tell me a little bit about yourhometown of Missouri.
Tell me if I was uh Tyler, letme put it this way.
If I was uh heading out to yourhometown, I'm on the main drag
going in, what would be thefirst thing I would see?
SPEAKER_01 (05:13):
The first thing you'd see, you'd see uh a truck
stop, and then you pull off onthe exit, and then you'd see a
McDonald's, and then you'd see aTaco Bell, and then you'd see a
Sonic, and then you'd see asubway.
SPEAKER_00 (05:28):
It's all the things we need.
SPEAKER_01 (05:30):
All yeah, all the small town, all the small town
food chains.
SPEAKER_00 (05:34):
Do you have a Buckies?
SPEAKER_01 (05:36):
No, uh they just they just finally put a Buckies
in um Missouri, uh inSpringfield, just not not too
far from where I'm from.
SPEAKER_00 (05:47):
But I hear that place is unbelievable.
SPEAKER_01 (05:51):
Yeah, I guess I guess you're from where are you
from?
SPEAKER_00 (05:53):
No, no, we're in upstate New York.
We do not have a Bucky's, yeah.
We do not, and that's uppercase.
We do not, but um traveling, uh,there was a Buckeys in Virginia.
We got picked up, I picked up uha t-shirt there, and um I got
Bucky the Beaver on it.
So it's pretty cool.
People see it right away andthey know that that's a Bucky's
(06:15):
t-shirt, even though we don'thave a Buckeys around here.
SPEAKER_01 (06:17):
So it's a it's a very iconic logo.
SPEAKER_00 (06:20):
And the place, I guess, is super huge.
It's like the biggest truck stopin the world.
I mean, it's crazy.
Plus the store and how they'rebranding it, and they've got
everything from food togroceries to you want to sit
down and eat, to uh, you know,if you're driving a truck, you
need to take a shower.
They have all that.
They it's just huge, yeah, hugestuff.
So yeah, that's cool.
Do you remember the first songthat you ever wrote?
SPEAKER_01 (06:44):
Yeah, um, it's did it suck?
Um, I mean, some may say itsucks, but um, it's a song I
wrote.
It's called it's calledBreathing, and it's kind of
about um being being that kidthat's by himself and and super
(07:07):
anxious, and um it's whatactually got me to start posting
on um social media because I itit talks about life on the road,
like working and a uh helper Iwas working with, I showed him
the song and he's like dude, youneed to post that.
(07:29):
And I was like, Yeah, I probablywon't.
SPEAKER_05 (07:31):
That's cool.
SPEAKER_01 (07:31):
I was like, I I'm I'm definitely not going to, but
one night I I had I had a fewbeers and um I just I recorded
it, just a black screen, postedon TikTok, and I got I got 100
200 likes and I thought I was Ithought I was the real deal.
SPEAKER_00 (07:52):
Dude, that's cool though.
That's cool.
And the only reason I said or Iasked, did it suck?
But because every artist I talkto, and you know, it's just
like, do you remember the firstsong that you wrote?
And nine times out of ten, Ithink you're the only one that
said it didn't.
It's like, oh, you don't evenwant to hear it.
It was terrible.
Oh my god, I can't believe andyou know they'll go on and on
and on about it.
So that's why I was expectingthat answer, I guess.
(08:14):
But here it's just the opposite.
That's cool.
That's cool.
SPEAKER_01 (08:18):
Yeah, like I said, it it's kind of what got me
started at all.
I was I was uh I just got off uha shift in Indiana and I was
driving back to the campground,and I just had this melody kind
of come to me, and I just I justwrote wrote it down and and just
(08:45):
kind of helped me learn, getbetter at guitar, and like
actually pay attention to likedetails and stuff, and yeah, it
was it was it was the start ofit all, really.
SPEAKER_00 (08:56):
Do you realize what's happening with you?
Do you realize?
I mean, how often, for example,how often do you jump on your
socials and look at the numbers?
I mean, if I was in your shoes,I'd be doing that like every 10
minutes, going, holy crap, lookslook what's going on.
SPEAKER_01 (09:11):
Yeah, it's it's hard to ignore.
Uh it's I I try not to let it,you know, consume my like the
the music.
But it it it is a good feeling.
I will I will tell tell you thatbecause it's just it's grown in
such a quick time, and I've seenit, I've seen it grow super
(09:33):
quick.
I've been here every step of theway, and it's it's pretty
insane.
SPEAKER_00 (09:39):
Yeah.
Uh I see Diane Lochner's alreadyon there.
It says, Love Tyler.
Love keeps me sane.
Uh oh yeah, she is one of myreps with triple uh tigers, and
I just absolutely love her.
So yeah.
A lot of people I talked to alot of the different uh, of
course, it's my job to talk tothe different labels, but she is
she's right up there, man.
She's one of the best.
(09:59):
So hey, um, you know, keep mekeeps me sane.
Uh that went absolutely crazy.
That was nuts.
Uh, in one month alone, you got20 million streams, and we're
higher than that now.
I think we're in the mid-30s atleast.
Uh, Billboard debut, the wholedeal.
When did you realize that uhthat song wasn't just blowing
(10:20):
up, it was taking over?
SPEAKER_01 (10:22):
Um, I saw I I don't know, it was it was the first
week.
It it was like dang, like wewere we were saying the first
day that it might get 50,000streams, and then it it quadr it
quadrupled that and it hit200,000, and then every single
(10:43):
day it just it just did the samethe same number, if not more.
And so it was it was kind ofquick.
I mean, everything about keepsme sane went really quick, you
know.
Um just from releasing it toteasing it.
We teased it, produced it,released it, and then it was
(11:03):
just all from there.
It was just happened in twoweeks' time, maybe.
And um it yeah, it was it wasn'tit wasn't long after we released
it.
It was like, yeah, this thissong's doing doing the thing.
SPEAKER_00 (11:17):
So when you um when you say we, I would imagine at
this point, and because of thestreams, the number of streams,
and and obviously you're on theroad because you're in a hotel
right now.
Um what uh yeah, you you haveother people helping you with
the with the socials now andeverything.
You used to do it by yourself inthe beginning, but now it got to
be so crazy.
SPEAKER_01 (11:38):
I mean, I still I am the only one that post on my
accounts.
Um okay.
SPEAKER_00 (11:43):
I try to know that.
SPEAKER_01 (11:45):
Yeah, right right now I'm I'm the only one that
posts on my accounts, and um Ijust I say we because it's I
feel like it's a collaborative,collaborative effort because you
know, producers, the theplayers, you know, my
management, the label, they werelike everybody kind of came
together super quickly and umjust made it happen, you know,
(12:08):
listen to listen to the fans andthe people that love the song
and the sound on social media.
And um, we just so um that's whyI say we, yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (12:18):
Yeah, I got you there.
I got you now.
Do you know where you are rightnow?
Like you're in a hotel.
What town are you in?
SPEAKER_01 (12:24):
I'm in I'm in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
SPEAKER_00 (12:27):
Okay, I'll Pittsburgh.
I got you.
All right, yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (12:29):
Um I'm right.
I think I can see the uhSteelers Stadium.
SPEAKER_00 (12:34):
No, the Steelers, they're doing really good.
Do you do you follow football?
SPEAKER_01 (12:38):
Uh here recently, I have not.
SPEAKER_00 (12:41):
I really don't have time.
SPEAKER_01 (12:43):
I have not followed this season at all, but um I
will one of these days.
SPEAKER_00 (12:47):
Well, we're all about the Bills up here in the
Northeast, yeah.
So and they lost two in a rowalready, so it didn't.
I don't know, that's not lookinggood.
Do you watch the baseballplayoffs?
SPEAKER_01 (12:56):
I haven't watched that either.
SPEAKER_00 (12:58):
Okay, nothing.
I get it.
Nothing, yeah.
No, I get it.
I get it.
So I mean, what do you do?
I mean, you play music, youwrite songs, um, you take good
care of yourself, I wouldassume.
But uh, are you in?
I mean, what do you watch?
What do you do?
I mean, uh talk talk to me.
SPEAKER_01 (13:16):
I watch, I mean, I watch Netflix, but a lot of I
get this question a lot.
It's like, what do you what doyou do for a hobby?
And it's like, well, I'm I'mdoing my hobby now.
It's because it's still fresh tome.
It's doesn't like it's it'ssomething I picked up for a
hobby.
I picked up guitar for a hobby,well, you know, wrote for a
hobby, and it just kind of stillfeels like that in a way.
SPEAKER_00 (13:39):
You need to keep it a hobby.
Yeah, as long as you're doingthis, it's gotta be a hobby
because if you enjoy doing it,it'll continue to grow, and
you'll just you know, just onefan at a time, and already
you've got a following.
So it's just it's just gonnakeep going.
When it doesn't become a hobby,then it's time to rethink what
you're doing.
Yeah, you know what I mean?
(13:59):
When it becomes work.
I imagine you get out there onthat stage every night and it's
gotta pump you up.
Being such a new and youngerartist, to see the fans, to see
the people singing along to yoursongs, uh keeps me sane.
Uh it's that's it's gotta besuch a feeling on stage.
SPEAKER_01 (14:17):
Yeah, it's it's kind of mind-blowing, really, in a
way, but it makes me happy.
I mean, it's it's something Inever expected to happen.
It's something I I I grew uplistening to like people talking
about the the Elvises and theJohnny Cashes and all those
people, like they were so hugeand they had everybody knew
(14:40):
them, and it was kind of just uhit wasn't even a fantasy, it was
just kind of like oh that'scool, and um and now having that
call and response in in a crowdwhenever I sing a song, it's
like wow, like who who wouldhave thought?
SPEAKER_00 (14:58):
Uh let's talk about your writing a little bit.
And um when you sit down towrite, what comes first?
Is it the lyric, the melody, oreven the caffeine?
SPEAKER_01 (15:09):
Uh I don't it's sometimes just melodies hit me,
or sometimes I just kind offreestyle like I just start
spitting stuff out and somethinglands, and I'm like, oh that
sounds cool.
So um it keeps me sane.
I I pretty much freestyled thefirst verse, and I just was just
(15:34):
playing like a chord progressionon guitar sitting on my couch
after after having a few beers,and I just started just saying
stuff, and it kind of just itcame to and then the next day I
I mean it was late, so I waslike, I better go to bed.
(15:55):
So I had a write the next day inin town in Nashville, sorry, and
um I I was like, hey what do youguys think of this?
And they're like, Oh, it soundsreally cool.
And um we just we just kind ofran with it and I just yeah, how
(16:15):
long ago did you sign with alabel?
SPEAKER_00 (16:18):
It's been oh and did they call you or did you pursue
them?
SPEAKER_01 (16:26):

Okay, and um I just was postingon TikTok and they had I had
left my my email in my bio and Ihad gotten a I had gotten an
email from them.
SPEAKER_00 (16:45):
So see, I'm glad you said that because there's so
many people that about your agethat are trying to do what you
want to do, and they're posting,but you you never know, just
keep going because eventuallysomebody's gonna see it, uh, or
somebody's gonna go, this dude'sgood.
We got to talk to this dude.
I want to find out more abouthim, you know.
So that that's cool.
(17:05):
Good for you.
And that hard work and you knowbeing patient definitely paid
off.
Um so you're known for keepingyour songs uh real and honest.
How do you stay authenticwithout oversharing your grocery
list, so to speak?

I can tell it already thatyou're doing your own thinking.
This is all you and nothing ornobody else.
This is this is what you do, andyou're doing it all your way.
I can tell just by uh talking toyou.
SPEAKER_01 (17:49):
I don't I don't really know like oversharing.
That's I don't I don't I don'treally know if I overshare

Like people, I promise you itdoes not, it does not take work.
SPEAKER_00 (18:52):
It's it's kind of I love it because it's like a
signature.
I now I know if I see you, Iwould know exactly who you are.
SPEAKER_01 (19:01):
So the story behind the mustache is I was a senior
in high school and I was gettingready to work on the road, and I
was getting ready to go toschool to to weld, and I watched
Tombstone.
SPEAKER_00 (19:19):
I don't know if you know that movie with Val Kilmer
and um I had not seen it, but Iknow this, yes, yeah, Kurt
Russell, yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (19:26):
So um Val Kilmer has the signature mustache, and I'd
watched that movie, and I waslike, I I love the movie, and I
don't know.
I just my dad gave me goodmustache jeans, so I was like, I
wonder if I could do that.
So I just started like pullingit out and and and then does
your dad have a stash like that?
(19:47):
Not like this.
He just he has basically thesame thing but without the
curls, and yeah, oh I love it.
SPEAKER_00 (19:52):
Um you have to wax it every day.
Yes, yep, yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (19:56):
I gotta wax it, and I don't know, it's really it
really wasn't hard.
It's just uh my but my uncle, hewas like, he's like, you're not
gonna be able to cut thatwhenever you go out on the road.
I'm like, why not?
He's like, well, that's howpeople what people are gonna
know you for.
SPEAKER_00 (20:09):
And it's got a good point.
SPEAKER_01 (20:11):
I was like, I was like, all right.
So I just I kept it and then I'dcut it and then I'd grow it back
and then I'd cut it, and then Iwas doing music.
I actually like started with themusic career, and I just I just
started I love it.
I just started doing it againand don't change it.
(20:32):
I figured why not, yeah.
Maybe one day, maybe one daywhenever like I get even even
bigger, I'll just I'll cut itoff and just scare people to
death.
You know what?
SPEAKER_00 (20:42):
People won't, you know.
I mean, besides of coursethey're gonna know your music,
but it's your look too.
It all goes together.
This is you, and and the soundthat you're putting out goes
with that mustache.
It's you, yeah, it's TylerNance.
Yeah, and that is that is cool.
Let's back it up a little bit.
Uh keeps me sane.
Tell me a little bit about thatsong.
What's behind that?
SPEAKER_01 (21:04):
Uh like I said, it was it was kind of just
spitballing, like for and justlike I was just thinking about
like past experiences, and Ijust was kind of just throwing
stuff out there, and I played Iplayed in I just played this
little slide thing on an Eminor, and that was the start of
(21:27):
it.
I was like, it kind of soundstrippy, and I just kind of heard
that with the like psilocybin,and like it just kind of felt
like felt like that psychedelic,hallucinogic type of feel.
So I I said Nick a Jack Siliconwith the maple leaves.
SPEAKER_00 (21:47):
I just like yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (21:50):
It kind of related to I get it a a time in my life,

about if you don't want.
SPEAKER_00 (22:08):
So I just I appreciate your honesty, and uh
it's not uncommon.
I talked to a lot of people thatwent through a lot and they've
learned a lot from theirmistakes, and it sounds like
you've really learned a lot, andespecially at a young age, you
know what you need to do now.
And that's what I was sayingbefore was the fact that uh
you're doing your own thinking,you're you're just being
creative in your own way, yeah.
(22:29):
And dude, that's gonna go farwith you.

SPEAKER_00 (24:03):
It sounds like you've already had a few pinch
me moments, but um what's beenthe holy crap?
This is real moment of yourcareer so far.
SPEAKER_01 (24:13):
I I toured the Opera.
Um Okay.
Like I went backstage at theOpry and Um and went there.
SPEAKER_00 (24:23):
Uh Did they put you out on that stage yet?
SPEAKER_01 (24:26):
I old Dominion was setting up, but I walked back
there and I was gonna I wasgonna walk up there, but I
didn't wanna I didn't want tointerfere.
I I I figured I dude I'd have myI'd have my uh time whenever you
will have your moment and Ithink that'll be pretty soon
too.
SPEAKER_00 (24:42):
You got the right people working with you, so
that's cool.
Yeah, but uh I just I I've beenbackstage at the Opera.
It's pretty cool.
It's pretty cool.
SPEAKER_01 (24:48):
Yeah, it's it's special.
There's so much uh so muchhistory and um special stuff
that's gone on there.
I guess another thing was my uhmanager.
I guess I shouldn't say thatbecause that's so uh the the RCA
studio uh RCA studios where likeJerry Reed, Elvis, and oh yeah,
(25:14):
that's that's all the highwaymovies.
SPEAKER_00 (25:15):
Studio A or what is yeah, yeah, I've been there a
couple of times.
It's kind of creepy though.
SPEAKER_01 (25:21):
Yeah, I mean I in a good way.
I should I I did some liveperformances in there and not
the studio, not the studio A,but the studio uh the the big
open one, not the one.
SPEAKER_00 (25:36):
Oh, okay, all right.
SPEAKER_01 (25:37):
But like I I was there's still been like so many
musician great musicians thathave performed in there and or
played and recorded in there,and that was kind of like
breathtaking in a way, becauseit's like who would have who
would have thought like I'd Iknow, I know.
SPEAKER_00 (25:54):
We um I went there once, I don't know, I was doing
the tourist thing a lot of yearsago and we ended up going there,
and uh to walk in to see thepiano, to see the microphone, to
see the tape decks and thedifferent tracks, you know, that
they they're still there.
It's like they shut the lightsoff and left, they locked the
door and left and lefteverything as it was.
And you know, then you'rethinking, all right, well, Elvis
(26:17):
used that mic, or Jerry LeeLewis was on that piano, or it's
like holy crap.
It's just you know, you couldyou could it's so quiet in
there, you could hear a pindrop, and you're just thinking,
wow.
So and and to be an artist towalk into a place like that,
it's gotta be like, wow, youknow, it's just that feeling.
Just that feeling.
SPEAKER_01 (26:38):
It's like what I what I grew up listening to.
Um my uh my grandma, she I Ialways joke and tell people she
was kind of like my my dealerfor music.
I love it.
And um, I was she she's whatmade me fall in love with like
(26:58):
all the the old the the oldguys, I guess.
SPEAKER_00 (27:01):
I was gonna ask you about that because you mentioned
it in the beginning, but goahead.
Yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (27:04):
Yeah.
Yeah.
Um wow.
She she uh would always send mehome with uh a C D and like hey
uh do you know this guy?
And I was like just a littlekid.
I didn't I didn't know.
So I was like, no.
So she'd send she'd send me homewith like the Everly brothers or
or just Conway Twitty or justElvis and I I had this little
(27:28):
RCA CD player and I'd have itturned down to the the last uh
the last little deal so I canhear it and then make my sisters
mad playing it through thehouse.
And and that's just what I'dfall asleep to, and I'd I'd I
don't know, just that's that'sthat's another thing, like be
going into that studio and Iguess A and B and it that's what
(27:52):
made it so special is it's sofunny that you said you know,
you would it's not really funny,but uh that you would listen to
the you know these artists andturn it down so you don't, you
know, only you could hear it andget into it.
SPEAKER_00 (28:03):
It's like me and radio always wanted to be on the
air, and uh I'd listen to radiostations at night and I'd turn
it down all the way so nobodywould know, but I'd be
listening, I'd be laying in mybed with a little radio under my
pillow listening.
Yeah, because that it's almostthe same thing, just kind of you
know, you did it with music andI did it with radio, so you
know, yeah.
That's kind of cool.
(28:23):
That's kind of it's really cool,as a matter of fact.
Um, if you could put together,um Tyler Nance is who we're
talking to tonight, and it'spretty cool.
He's up and coming, he's gonnabe all over your radio, he's
gonna be all over youreverything you do pretty soon.
But uh, if you could puttogether your dream tour, any
three artists living or dead,who's on the bill and who's
buying the first round after theshow?
(28:47):
That's a toughie.
SPEAKER_01 (28:49):
That I want to say Elvis would be pretty cool,
Keith Whitley.
Oh my gosh.
Um and the last one, man,there's just so many.
Uh I feel like can I say likethe highwayman?

Well, it's the whole thing.
Yeah, no, no, totally.
SPEAKER_00 (29:09):

SPEAKER_01 (29:10):
I mean, that's kind of a cheat code, but I feel like
no, no, that's okay.
SPEAKER_00 (29:13):
I get it.
Yeah, that would that would be ahell of a show, that's for sure.
Yeah, yeah and uh wow.
So uh when fans hear a Tyler Nansong for the first time, what do
you hope they feel besides theurge to hit replay and play it
over again?
SPEAKER_01 (29:29):
Um you hope they feel kind of what I feel
whenever I hear whenever I heardor still hear songs that like
really like reach out to me andgrab me.
It's like that, just likegetting that that chill, you
know.
I don't know if you know whatI'm talking about, but like
those cold chills, like wow,like I feel like if you can make
(29:52):

Well, let's if you want to call.
Genres or whatever country.

a morning show.
And for what people don'trealize is that artists like
you, like Tyler, um, this iswhat they do.
It's called a radio tour, andthis is their way of meeting the
programmers, seeing the radiostations, uh, establishing a
(32:24):
relationship in hopes that yousupport them or they support
you.
So that's cool.
That's cool.
Yeah, absolutely, 100%.
SPEAKER_01 (32:33):
The the early mornings, I mean, they they're
not great, but you know, I Ikind of I've done this before,

all these people.
SPEAKER_00 (45:27):
So you know, yeah one thing you gotta remember,
and I say it from the other sideof things, being a radio
programmer and on the air herein our market of Syracuse is the
fact that it's a two-way street.
We play music that you give usthat is good music.
That is what makes us who weare.
And in turn, of course, if weyou know, we make you, I
shouldn't say we make you, butyou know, if it wasn't for
(45:50):
radio, you wouldn't be able toyou know, and there's all
different forms, of course.
We know some people thinkSpotify is radio, uh, you know,
but we do have, you know, wehave satellite radio, got
terrestrial radio, it all it allit all matters, it all matters.
So it's a two-way stream, it allmatters.
SPEAKER_01 (46:06):
Yeah, it takes many pieces to finish, finish the
puzzle.
SPEAKER_00 (46:10):
When uh when Billboard said you were the guy,
how how did how was that?
Man, that was huge.
SPEAKER_01 (46:17):
That was that was insane.
Um never would have pictured ina million years, if I'm being
honest.

and all the big shows are outand people are looking for
