While in Denver last night for a show with Rival Sons, Tyler Bryant was feeling a little nostalgic. So he debuted an unreleased track that he wrote the last time they played Denver.

In Tyler’s words:

This is for our fans who have gone out of their way to share our music. Thanks for being cool.

I wrote this song on a toilet in some hotel room in Denver, Colorado one night when I was feeling down. The guys were sleeping, so I locked myself in the bathroom to write. I played it for them the next morning & they liked the tune enough that we played it at the gig that night. We’re back in Denver tonight and just happen to be playing the same venue we played the night I wrote this song. I started feeling nostalgic and dug this out of the archive and felt like sharing it. This is a demo, but what the heck. I hope you dig. 

Love always,

Tyler

PS – The really pretty voice belongs to Lisa Marie Origliasso. She only sings a few words in this song, but it makes it for me. Enjoy.

From Tyler Bryant & the Shakedown:

***STOLEN GUITARS***
To all of our fans, WE NEED YOUR HELP!
We woke up this morning in Spokane Valley, Washington and all but one of our guitars had been stolen. Pinky, my main Fender Stratocaster was stolen along with my 1965 Gibson SG Junior. Graham’s VOS 57 Gibson Goldtop Les Paul and his 58 Sunburst Les Paul were stolen as well. The crook also helped himself to Noah’s black Gretsch bass guitar & Caleb’s Black Beauty snare drum. Can you guys please help us keep an eye on Craigslist & eBay? We gave the police all the serial numbers for our guitars, so hopefully they’ll turn up somewhere around here. I’m gonna start calling every pawn shop within a hundred mile radius as soon as we get our bearings. We are super bummed out today and could use some good vibes. I believe with all of my heart that these guitars will turn up. We love you guys. -tyler
