For over 20 years Tyler has been a full time musician leading bands internationally, working as a sideman freelance violin / mandolin and rhythm guitar player and even symphony violinist. His focus has always been making music that brings joy and he has years of experience with passionate independent artists as well as established artists such as The Chieftains, Ashley MacIsaac, Irish Rovers, Sandy Kelly and opening for Brooks and Dunn.

​

Tyler's lifelong music career began as “The Carson Kids” in a duo fiddle show with his sister that took them around the world. At the age of 20 when he suddenly lost his speaking voice and his sister got a solo record deal, Tyler turned to energy healing instead of botox in hopes that he would one day sing again.

​

Beyond helping his voice, his healing studies explained the seemingly magical connection that he's had with audiences since childhood, a connection that always brings joy and forged a career built upon each gig leading the next. His healing work brought new abilities that transformed him into a one-man-band violinist and created a genre he calls Living Music.

 

He describes his process as a present moment expression flowing from his heart rather than his mind—and its effect has been recognized in the multi-award winning documentary Living Music by BluPrint Films LA.

 

Based in Sedona AZ, Tyler currently plays to thousands of visitors every year in private events and concert series that inspire and promote emotional healing.

 

His work has been recognized on US national morning news program, CBS Mornings and features a cameo duet with world famous violinist, Lindsey Stirling.
