Tyler Halverson

Born and raised in the tiny town of Canton, SD (pop. 3054), Tyler Halverson isn't just any cowboy. He's got the hat and the boots, but he also plays a mean guitar and writes an even meaner tune. He has no problem bouncing around the country chasing adventure (or a girl), and is telling his different kind of cowboy tale with his self-described "Amerijuana Music." Halverson's original approach caught fire with a string of independent releases including "Beer Garden Baby," "Mac Miller," and "Your Bar Now" (with Kylie Frey), amassing tens of millions of streams. With his two Western Amerijuana EPs out via Atlantic Records in 2024, Tyler is eager to take the next step on what has already proven to be an amazing journey. "I'm finding myself," says Halverson. "I feel like I'm an artist and I'm finally about to do something."
