Band Bio:
The Tyler Rogers Band’s musical seeds were first planted over 10 years ago when Tyler joined his first rock band based out of Van Alstyne, TX at the ripe age of 13. Tyler’s musical focus continued to be almost entirely rock driven and he also began to write his own songs toward the end of his high school career. After being accepted to Texas Tech University he headed off to Lubbock, TX where he was first introduced to the “Texas Music Scene” this type of music really spoke to Tyler and he began to slant his style of writing in accordance with his new musical interests and tastes. It was in Lubbock that the original formation of the Tyler Rogers Band took place and many a weekend you could find the newly formed TRB playing fraternity parties or one of the many patio bars throughout Lubbock. However, it was truly after his graduation and subsequent return to his native North Texas that he found his musical stride and decided to completely dedicate himself to the music. After nearly a year of playing acoustic gigs and looking for band mates he found his rhythm section in the form of two brothers: RJ (Drums) and Chris (Bass) Medrano. They performed as a trio for a number of months until finally completing the group with the addition of Tiago Mauro (Guitars & Backing Vocals). The Tyler Rogers Band is a mixture of Rock N’ Roll, Blues, Alt. Country, and Red Dirt Music. Most importantly they are Texas to the bone and are committed to carving their own path within their home-state while staying true to their musical influences and having a good time.
