As
far as accolades go, Calgary born, Saskatchewan based singer/songwriter
TYLER GILBERT has been nothing short of an indie sensation since
releasing his 2008 debut EP Vos and its
full length follow up THE
RE-SESSION (2009).
He's done national tours all over his native country, from Vancouver
and Edmonton to Toronto and Montreal; performed at countless major
festivals, including the CANADIAN COUNTRY MUSIC AWARD FESTIVAL and
CANADIAN WESTERN AGRIBITION; done national tours of the U.S. Midwest;
and performed live on GLOBAL TV and CTV while his music hit the
playlists of top stations all across Canada. But behind
the scenes, there are always those darker challenging realities that
any indie artist faces in building a great career - those moments when
anything that could go wrong along the way, did. As GILBERT explains in
his liner notes, the title of his latest album OK
MURPHY is his way
of acknowledging that there are always bumps in the road - and Murphy's
Law may have prevailed in the past, but no longer. Like, "Ok Murphy,
you won this round, but now you're on the sidelines." The future
couldn't be more vibrant as Gilbert finds the perfect balance on the 13
track set between the acoustic folk/rock of his past and the
electric-driven rock direction he continues to gravitate to.
