Tyler Bryant & The Shakedown In Concert
It's safe to say Tyler Bryant's music transcends eras and styles. Although the Texas native and his band, The Shakedown, fit into the modern hard rock scene (credit for that goes to buzzsawing riffs and gigantic melodic hooks), he feels like a throwback to an earlier time when guitars were king. The group's music nods to heavy classic rock with a faint hint of twang, while Bryant's solos combine Slash's aggression with the blues-based fluidity of Jack White and Gary Clark, Jr. classic rock.
Bryant also defies vocal categorization. At times, his gritty tones nod to the late Scott Weiland, while other moments find him affecting the somber timbre of a country-blues warbler. Naturally, his 2017 full-length, Tyler Bryant & The Shakedown, bares its teeth thanks to nuanced production, which allows the band's diverse influences to shine through.
Bryant came to his unique sound gradually. He was initially steered toward music in first grade after discovering Elvis Presley. When he was 11, Bryant met a blues guitarist named Roosevelt Twitty, who changed the course of his life by inspiring him to create music and follow his muse. Later, seeing The Black Crowes made Bryant finally start a band.
His diligence (and historical grounding) has paid off handsomely. In 2013, Bryant toured with guitar legend Jeff Beck, who often tapped him to jam during the encore. Recent years saw Bryant's band opening for Clutch and Blackberry Smoke, as well as earning slots at the Download Festival, Welcome to Rockville, Fort Rock, and Rock on the Range.
Live, Bryant exudes guitar-hero vibes as he shreds out solos and wails at the microphone — energy matched by his bandmates, who amplify the power generated by the frontman. Highly anticipated new music from the troupe will no doubt expand their influence to even more eager fans.

Fantasy new venue to see a show and of course TBSD never disappoint
What an amazing experience! TBSD always blow you away the minute they hit the stage. Tyler is the best guitar player and front man. He is so full of energy and he really engages the audience and makes you want to move. Graham does some sick blues solos. Caleb is fantastic with how he uses every single inch of the drum set and comes to the front of the stage and into the audience to get everyone rockin'. Ryan is fairly new but a really great fit. He has an awesome singing voice and engages with his bandmates. I am so excited to see them again and again!
This band is so awesome! Tyler doesn’t stop smiling the whole time he plays and he makes an effort to really connect with the audience. His voice and guitar playing is top notch! He and his drummer, Caleb, have this awesome chemistry that you can see on stage. If you ever get a chance to see them, don’t walk…RUN to get tickets! You will not be disappointed.
Tyler Bryant and the Shakedown put on a helluva show and took the time to meet everyone who stuck around. Seriously great guys. XL Live is my favorite venue. Sound is great, lots of space and the drink prices are cheap compared to some other places. Staff is professional and very accommodating. Opening bands were really good, too. It was a great night!
Always a GREAT show!! New album rocks!! Never disappoints!!
Venue was super clean and easy to navigate inside. They had pool tables, arcade games, food area, and outdoor seating with firepits.Bathrooms were very clean. No bad spot to watch the show. Only issue with the venue is that it is next to a strip club in a not so good part of town. Opening bands were good. Tyler Bryant was amazing as usual. His soulful voice was not distorted at all. Acoustics on venue were very good.
I had never been to Club XL I Harrisburg PA. Awesome venue! Clean, spacious and reasonable prices. Tyler Bryant and the shakedown were amazing! Fantastic live band. Do yourself a favor and go see them or go see something at Club XL. SUPPORT live music!
TBSD played Purgatory Apr27th. These guys are the real thing. Quality musicians whose rock groove is rooted from the blues. Tight, soulful rhythm by Caleb Crosby and Noah Denney, driven by Graham Whitford on rhythm guitar. Tyler Bryant’s lead vocals, and shredding lead guitar sweeps you up into the music and the band. Tyler’s musical story telling opens your eyes to the soul of their music. These guys are fantastic!
