Tyler Ramsey is a singer-songwriter and guitarist known for his evocative, genre-blending sound that fuses folk, rock, and alternative influences. Based outside of Asheville, North Carolina, Ramsey gained widespread recognition as a key member of Band of Horses, contributing to their soaring indie-folk sound across three studio albums, each of which included Ramsey originals.
As a songwriter and guitarist, he brought intricate playing and introspective lyricism to the band’s music, making it a defining element.
While Ramsey’s former tenure with Band of Horses solidified his reputation, his solo career has proven his depth as an artist in his own right. He has released a series of critically acclaimed albums, including “For the Morning” (2019), which showcased his signature blend of fingerpicked guitar, pedal steel, and atmospheric rock textures.
His latest album, “New Lost Ages,” marks a new creative milestone, produced by Phil Ek (Fleet Foxes, The Shins) and recorded in Seattle’s Avast Recording Co.
Ramsey’s music is deeply rooted in nature and personal experience, with much of New Lost Ages inspired by his life in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Seeking solace during a tumultuous period, he retreated to a secluded cabin near his home, channeling his reflections on change, fatherhood, and artistic perseverance into a collection of deeply resonant songs.
SCCF launched the one-of-a-kind concert series, Pine Island Sounds, in 2019 as a special donor event to support critical research and programs to protect local water quality.
As a regional leader in water quality, SCCF’s Marine Lab is deeply engaged in marine, estuarine, and freshwater research and restoration efforts. The science and monitoring conducted at the lab also inform SCCF’s advocacy work, allowing it to engage the public, water managers, and elected officials in protecting Southwest Florida’s most critical natural resource.
Pine Island Sounds is made possible thanks to Captiva Cruises and the Marcum Giving Fund.
