TYLER STENSON
PORTLAND SINGER-SONGWRITER OF "ELEGANT FOLK"
As a Portland singer-songwriter, I’ve been pretty prolific across the years. Always writing. Always recording. Rarely sleeping.
So, having given myself to The Muse for the last two decades, I’ve decided to host a Soldier for The Muse concert series—a recurring recording session that revisits all the songs from all the years—a monthly live recording of each of my albums, performed from start to finish.

TAKING A BREAK … WHILE RECORDING NEW MUSIC.
My friends, life is different these days — in every way. I’m taking a break from performing* while prioritizing my young family, mending my voice, reevaluating my relationship with music, … and … tracking a new studio album (to be released in spring 2025)!
I’ll do my best to return to full strength. In the meantime, stay tuned for album updates. Much love.
*Real Talk: I’m open to performing if you have an opportunity. Reach out! However, I’m not actively soliciting bookings at this time.
Tyler Stenson: Portland Singer-Songwriter.
Drawing comparison to singer-songwriter greats such James Taylor, Cat Stevens and Ryan Adams, Stenson has been locally recognized as the Portland Singer-Songwriter of the Year by the Portland Songwriters Association and Best Male Artist at the Portland Music Awards. On the national stage, he was hand-picked by legendary producer Don Was as a Top 10 Finalist in Guitar Center’s Great American Singer-Songwriter Search, as well as hand-selected by Adam Duritz (Counting Crows) and Ryan Spaulding to be featured in their Outlaw Roadshow Showcases (SxSW+NYC). Stenson’s music is in regular rotation on SiriusXM’s The Coffee House and can be heard on a number of Chevrolet commercials, several popular television series and opening for other prominent artists such as LeAnn Rimes, George Ezra, Chris Isaak, John Popper, Marc Cohn and more.
