BIG EARS FESTIVAL

William Tyler performs Time Indefinite

Thu   Mar   27   2025 - 10:30 PM The Point

“A unique voice amid a new generation of roots-music revivalists.” Premier Guitar

Tennessee-born guitarist, songwriter, and producer William Tyler began his career in the early 2000s touring and recording with acts as diverse as Lambchop, Wooden Wand, The Silver Jewels, Bonnie “Prince” Billy, Candi Staton, Charles Louvin, and Rhys Chatham. Having established his reputation as a versatile and supremely inventive guitar ace, he then launched a solo career that focused on instrumental, often experimental compositions that pulled from a variety of styles, from sparse American Primitive to pastoral country-driven rock and folk. Abums like 2010’s acoustic Behold the Spirit and 2016’s expansive full-band effort, Modern Country, were widely hailed by critics. After relocating to California, Tyler returned in 2019 with the bucolic Goes West album and the soundtrack to the indie film First Cow. He’s subsequently released New Vanitas, Lost Futures, and Secret Stratosphere.
