Tyler Stenson on PopChronicle

Last week I was contacted by Mike Ronfeld from Pop Chronicle and asked if I would answer some life questions about my music and muse.

I’m immensely honored to be featured on PopChronicle and a big thank you to Mike (and the PopChronicle team) for the interview. Click here or on the image above to read the full article.

I’m hoping for more of my music to be featured on the PBS television series Roadtrip Nation (in 2009) but until then, this web video will suffice. Enjoy the taste and expect more to come.

Listen to Whistle Stop in its entirety:
