TYLER GITCHEL

At just 16, Tyler burst onto the country music scene, winning both Male Vocalist of the Year and Entertainer of the Year at the 2023 NACMA competition in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, and earning opportunities to open for artists like Ray Scott, Dale Watson, and Ben Chapman. Influenced by his father, Tyler’s journey was further shaped by Glen Cain, a Vietnam veteran and former Green Beret who performed with country legends like Waylon Jennings and Merle Haggard. Glen invited Tyler, his father, and Uncle Clint to join his band, offering invaluable mentorship. Now 17, Tyler is stepping into the spotlight with his debut EP, set to release in September 2024, marking the start of a promising career.
