Tyler Halverson

Tyler Halverson is a rising voice in the Americana and country music scene, hailing from the small town of Canton, South Dakota. Born on September 21, 1994, Halverson grew up surrounded by a mix of musical influences, thanks to his parents’ eclectic taste. From the twang of George Strait and Garth Brooks to the emo edge of Taking Back Sunday and The Used, his listening habits helped him shape a sound that feels both familiar and fresh. That blend of tradition and edge would eventually become the backbone of his songwriting style.

In his early twenties, Halverson moved to Nashville to study music business at Belmont University. While the classroom sharpened his industry knowledge, it was the years spent working on ranches in South Dakota, Montana, and Wyoming that truly shaped his artistic identity. Those long, reflective days under open skies bled into his music, giving birth to a genre he calls “Western Amerijuana Music”—a hazy, heartfelt mix of country, folk, and psychedelic vibes.

Tyler’s breakout came in 2021 with tracks like “Beer Garden Baby” and “Mac Miller,” songs that introduced listeners to his unique storytelling and soulful delivery. His success soon caught the eye of Atlantic Records, leading to a deal and a growing catalog of heartfelt tracks like “Her,” “Cut You Loose,” and “As They Did.”

Now based in Nashville, Halverson continues to carve out his own lane in country music. With a growing fan base, a gift for raw, poetic lyrics, and a sound that defies easy labels, he’s fast becoming one of the most compelling new artists to watch.
