currently no song available...
So here it is. My name is Tyler Pursel, i've been playing music in various forms since the late 1990's. Currently I'm the touring keyboardist for the band Gym Class Heroes. This is a page for music I create as a solo artist, i've been working on solo music since around 2005 and for whatever reason never before felt the need or desire to promote it. I would describe it as somewhere between alt country and indie rock, Ryan Adams fistfighting Elliott Smith, Austin City Limits meets the Mcarren Park Pool.
I have one record out now on itunes called "Soul Fueled Memoirs" you should buy it and eat pizza while listening
I'm working on a new record this February which as of now remains untitled. I hope you enjoy my music please listen and comment.
You can follow my every move on my tumblr blog
I'm also working on getting myself a facebook and a twitter and whatever all this other new school crap the kids are using to promote themselves.
If you are a record label, promoter, manager, industry jerk who wants to buy me expensive meals and fur coats on the company dime, or if you just wanna say hi or inquire about more standard fare you can email me!

Why this name?
Its my full name
Do you play live?
Occasionally I do play live solo, but most of the time i'm on tour with The Gym Class Heroes
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
it keeps the poor musicians poor and the rich professional musicians a little less rich,,,,overall I think its good it gets people overal exposed to a lot more music while at the same time trivializing it, somewhat of a double edged sword I suppose
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
I would like to say no but if the money was right and I could have proper control over my career then yes, depends on the deal.....they are all different
