William Tyler is a Tennessee-born guitarist, songwriter, and producer who began his career in the early 2000s touring and recording with acts as diverse as Lambchop, Wooden Wand, the Silver Jews, Bonnie Prince Billy, and Charlie Louvin. Having established his reputation as a versatile and supremely inventive guitar ace, he then launched a solo career that focused on instrumental, often experimental compositions that pulled from a variety of styles, from sparse American primitive to pastoral country-driven rock and folk. Tyler's personalized take on instrumental guitar music is psychedelic as often as it is traditionally informed, evolving from the spectral Americana of 2016's Modern Country to the high-energy live playing of the 2023 full-band double album Secret Stratosphere. In 2025, he returned to solo work with the ethereal and deeply textured full-length Time Indefinite.
