My name is Mark Tyler and I’m from Kalamazoo, Michigan. I specialize in performing a wide range of acoustic blues, rock, and bluegrass music. If you’re looking to add some live entertainment to your party, I’d be happy to bring a pot full of my home cooked tunes to liven things up. Just let me know what you have in mind, and I’ll do my best to make sure your event is a hit!
When performing as a solo musician, I aim to deliver engaging and entertaining shows that both I and the audience will enjoy. To keep things fresh, I often invite guest musicians to join me on stage and mix up the setlist. I also put a lot of thought into the presentation of my shows, as I believe that adding a little extra excitement can elevate the experience for everyone involved. Ultimately, my goal is to create dynamic, memorable performances for my audiences.
In this video, you can watch me play a very special guitar: a 1936 Martin D-28, which was one of the first models produced in 1931 and is now considered a standard design for acoustic guitars. This 84-year-old instrument has aged gracefully and has a truly exceptional sound. Its tone woods produce a balanced blend of bass and treble, with a rich depth that is rarely matched by louder guitars. I had the opportunity to try out this amazing guitar thanks to Elderly Instruments, and I had a lot of fun playing it. If you’re a fan of classic instruments, you’ll definitely want to check it out – although it does come with a hefty price tag of $45,000.
