Tyler Bryant & The Shakedown at Hat Tricks with Tyler Lenius

Bryant’s impressive resume reads as if he’s been in the business for decades. Tyler was awarded the Robert Johnson Foundation’s New Generation Award at 16, which pointed him out as one of the most promising new guitarists on the scene.  He was featured in the award-winning documentary Rock Prophecies (one of the most viewed documentaries on iTunes & Netflix), along with Santana and Slash, and was chosen at age 15 by Eric Clapton to play his Crossroads Festival.  Just recently, Tyler was handpicked by Jim Lemley to work on the score for the Fox Studios blockbuster, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, produced by Jim Lemley and Tim Burton. Tyler worked on the film’s soundtrack along with Henry Jackman (Hans Zimmer’s protégé). Tyler was also sought out personally by the legendary Jeff Beck to be the opener for his 2011 Spring & Fall tour. Jeff invited Tyler to play with him during his encore set each night – an almost unheard of request from the legend, as the last opener that he invited to play with him on-stage was Stevie Ray Vaughan in 1989. Tyler’s talent has even reached into the gaming world, being the only unsigned artist to have a song in Guitar Hero 5.
