Tyler Bryant & the Shakedown

Tyler Bryant & the Shakedown would label themselves a rock and roll band, however, there’s a little more to it than that. Some might hear a bluesy influence while some might call it classic or southern rock. The pure energy and volume that could follow a heartfelt ballad proves that this band is hard to fit into a single box. Hailing from Nashville, Tennessee, the group are true music appreciators who pride themselves on their live shows. Night after night they leave it all on the stage and like to refer to those nights as celebrations of “life, sound, and community.” The band consists of Tyler Bryant on lead vocals and guitar, Caleb Crosby on drums, and Graham Whitford on guitar. They have played hundreds of shows with countless venerable icons, such as AC/DC, Guns N’ Roses, ZZ Top, Clutch, and Jeff Beck, just to name a few. In 2022, the group decided to take their career into their own hands by starting Rattle Shake Records - an independent label that allows them a direct line of communication with their fans. The group released Electrified in 2024 — an album that represents the band’s mantra of letting loose and making music that sounds just as good on the stage as it does on a record. “I think this is potentially our most “authentically us” sounding album,” says Tyler. For Crosby, the album "feels like the culmination of where we've been and where we want to be.” “There are a lot of things to overthink in life,” Bryant says. “Rock and roll is not one of those things.”
