From Rush to Frank Sinatra to Elton John to Rage Against The Machine, Tyler does and plays it all, and will never let you down while playing in a band, or going solo!

kelsey britton

VOCALS

Since Kelsey was a little girl music has been a huge part of her life. From jazz and ballet lessons, playing the clarinet in the school band, being mesmerized by every Doris Day musical and then some, to singing along to her parents record collection dreaming of looking like Maria Muldaur and sounding like Etta James. As she got older she became exposed to so many different types of music and fell in love with all of them. After singing behind the bar for many years on karaoke night she had enough courage to say yes when her uncle asked her to come jam and check out the band. The rest is history! When not jamming out with the band Kelsey is either working or with her son and their dog.
