'Speaking of Music': Tyler Lee Frush
Tyler Lee Frush is an Atlanta musician who mixes his folk songwriting chops with country, classical and rock.
He’s been a musician-for-life since he first encountered a guitar at 13. Through a musical coming-of-age process playing “just about every terrible gig you could,” Frush found his way to recording producer Steve Morrison with whom he began tracking, developing, and refining his original sound and relationship to the art.
Frush decided to highlight a new song from his upcoming album called “State of Mind,” which layers soulful vocals in harmony over a spacious mix dappled with banjo.
“It’s a story about mental illness, disguised as a song about substance abuse, and how sometimes we don’t see that full picture,” Frush said.
The album is expected in late fall, but fans can hear singles and a lockdown-produced EP called “The Quarantine Tapes” currently on all streaming platforms.
“My motivations are not about being famous or a rock star, multi-platinum selling artist. It’s about being able to have the freedom to create,” said Frush. “To have something that is yours and solely yours, that you’ve put the pen to paper, you played the instruments, or you wrote the parts, you crafted the narrative — it’s just a beautiful thing.”
