Tyler Keith was born in the panhandle of Florida. After High School he moved to Mississippi to study writing at Ole Miss with Barry Hannah. Instead of graduating from college he joined some bands, most notably the Neckbones, (SOULS ON FIRE, THE LIGHTS ARE GETTING DIM, Fat Possum) making four albums with that group and touring the States and Europe extensively. In the first decade of the 2000s he fronted the band Tyler Keith and the Preacher’s Kids making three records, ROMEO HOOD, WILD EMOTIONS, and THE DEVIL’S HITLIST.

In the last decade Tyler Keith made two records with Tyler Keith and the Apostles, BLACK HIGHWAY, and DO IT FOR JOHNNY. During this time he also made a biker musical called THE OUTLAW BIKER. Keith made a solo acoustic record called ALIAS, KID TWIST, and toured as a solo act for this album. In the second half of the last decade he formed a group, Teardrop City, with Laurie Stirratt (Blue Mountain), George Sheldon (Kenny Brown Band, Blue Mountain), and Wallace Lester (Rev John Wilkins, Como Mammas), and released an album called, IT’S LATER THAN YOU THINK.

Tyler Keith’s newest album, his thirteenth, is a solo project, rock n roll album made with Bronson Tew on drums, recording, engineering, and other things, and a few other friends, recorded at Dial Back Studios in Waster Valley Mississippi. The recording began when a band cancelled at the last minute and he jumped in and recorded for the weekend. The rest of the sessions were recorded when the studio had downtime or no-shows. The result was a rollicking ten-song platter called, THE LAST DRAG, complete with a few horns and strings, and one- handed piano. Read more on Last.fm.
