Description
Tyler Edwards is a singer-songwriter from Florence, South Carolina. He began his career in 2008, writing and performing with the rock band I Anthem. After releasing two EPs and an LP, I Anthem achieved moderate success with multiple songs breaking the Top 10 on Billboard's Rock Charts and music featured on MTV and NASCAR. In 2015, Edwards launched his solo career with a 6-song EP, “Too Young for Love” and moved across the country to Seattle, Washington.
Since relocating to Seattle, Tyler has cultivated a strong grass-roots following, building from open-mics to selling out notable venues around the city. The stark honesty and passion that make his live shows so compelling also translates into his recorded work. Ear to the Ground Music notes that “...Edwards has a genuineness about him that makes his album infinitely listenable".
Now, two years after the EP, Tyler is excited to announce the release of his debut full length album! “A Few Good Hearts" gives listeners a personal insight into his past two years of change and growth, and bridge his musical influences from rock to folk and country. With lyrics as a focal point, the music moves in and around the words to paint a masterpiece of verbal and sonic imagery that tells a unique story.

Tyler Edwards is a singer-songwriter from Florence, SC. He began his career by writing and performing with rock band I Anthem from 2008-2014. After releasing two EP's and a LP, the band had moderate success with multiple songs breaking Top 10 on Billboard's Rock Charts and music featured on MTV and NASCAR. During this time period, Edwards also began writing acoustic based songs; he remarked, "I started to understand the value of the silence that acoustic music can create. This excited and challenged me to make sure I really mean the words I write and sing."
With the release of Tyler's latest solo EP - "Too Young for Love," he reveals some personal stories and questions. The title track is a song he says he wrote the morning of his 25th birthday while reflecting on love being hard but necessary to truly living. Similarly, the first track, Headed for the Coast, directly communicates his plans to move to the West Coast, which he did in January 2015 via an one and a half month cross-country tour from Florence, SC to Seattle, WA. Each song on this record has a personal story or idea behind it. Listeners can expect that songs to follow will be of an equal honesty and experience.

Two years after the release of her acclaimed debut album, Bandita, Lydia Ramsey has announced her second full length LP, Flames for the Heart to be released this September.
Recorded in Seattle at the Hall of Justice in collaboration with producer Andy D. Park (Death Cab For Cutie, Phoebe Bridgers, Pedro The Lion), Flames for the Heart represents an exciting evolution in Ramsey’s sound. With a driving rock feel, gorgeous string arrangements, and new songs written for piano and banjo, the album reflects a fresh compositional perspective and a broadening of the traditional folk elements found in Ramsey’s debut album. Songs like Dreamer, Heatwave, and Take My Only Heart blend warm and rich vocal melodies with pedal steel, cello, viola, and violin, showcasing Ramsey’s deft touch as an arranger, while Eyes For You hits hard instantly, propelled forward by a larger more rock oriented rhythm section. Through it all there is a sense of urgency, a fierce and hopeful lyrical sentiment reminding us of the light and darkness in all of us and, with a fiery joy and sorrow, urging us to appreciate all that we have in our lives while we can.
Ramsey will be accompanied by her full band for the Album Release show, including musicians Soren Godbersen – electric guitar, Jay Kardong – pedal steel guitar, Aaron Harmonson – bass guitar, Jesse Harmonson – drums.

“If there’s one thing about The Ramblin’ Years that should go unquestioned, it’s that their great big sound is always on point, their attitude always ready to party, and their crowd, always on board.”
- Stephanie Dore, Seattle Music News
Founded as a college band in 2011, The Ramblin’ Years were packing crowds into Seattle’s bars by 2013. They spent the past 5 years selling out Seattle venues like Tractor Tavern and Neumo’s, touring the West Coast and inland Northwest, and playing music festivals such as Capitol Hill Block Party, Macefield Music Festival, and NW Folklife. The Ramblin’ Years started working with Fastback Studios engineer and producer Jason Lackie in 2014 and released two EP’s, “Nickels & Dimes” and “Halfway Somewhere.” After years honing their skills and earning money playing on the road, the team is proud to present their first full-length album.
