Early and personal life

Bryant got his first guitar at the age of 6.[4] When he was 11, he sold the dirtbike his parents had given to him for Christmas and bought his first electric guitar, a red Epiphone Les Paul from Holly Bond's Music Store in Paris, Texas. While still in elementary school, he met Roosevelt Twitty, a blues musician who became Bryant's guitar mentor.[5] Together Bryant and Twitty formed the Blues Buddies, playing shows around Texas. This was the age that Bryant started writing songs.

At 15, Bryant put together his first band, which performed local shows in and around his hometown. In 2006, he was presented with the Robert Johnson Gibson New Generation Award for aspiring young guitar players.[4][6] In 2007, Bryant won Ernie Ball's first "Play Crossroads Competition", which got him a spot performing at the Crossroads Guitar Festival in Chicago.[5][7][8][9]

As Bryant's career continued, he began to take influence from blues-based rock acts, such as The Black Crowes, The Rolling Stones, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Bryant moved to Nashville at age 17 to pursue a career in songwriting, and in the process he met drummer Caleb Crosby and bass player Calvin Webster. Crosby and Webster joined Bryant's band, named Tyler Bryant & the Shakedown, which now also includes bass guitarist Diego Navaira and guitarist Graham Whitford (the latter being the son of Aerosmith's Brad Whitford).

On October 6, 2019, Bryant married Rebecca Lovell of Larkin Poe.[10] In March 2025, they announced they were expecting their first child, a boy.[11]

King, Pat Benatar, Heart, Smash Mouth, Styx, REO Speedwagon, AC/DC, Vince Gill, Guns N' Roses and The Cadillac Three. Guitarist Vince Gill has said about Bryant, "To be 18 and play like this kid is the rarest of the rare. Hands down a future guitar god."[12][7] In 2009, Bryant performed at the Grammy Foundation's 11th Annual Music Preservation Event: "Music in Focus" at the historic Wilshire Ebell Theater in Los Angeles.[7] In 2009, he was featured, along with musicians including Jeff Beck, Carlos Santana and Slash, in the film Rock Prophecies.[5][7] Bryant's song "Who I Am" is featured as downloadable content for Guitar Hero 5. He performed at the 2011 Austin City Limits Music Festival.

In 2011, Bryant formed Dead Cool Dropouts with Lisa Origliasso of the Veronicas.[13] He later contributed to the latter band's 2014 self-titled album.[14] He contributed to "Sanctified.”[15]

Equipment

Bryant is known for using a pink Fender Stratocaster nicknamed "Pinky One", which was stolen and therefore replaced with a similar "Pinky 2".
