Country artist Tyler Rich joins Brandon Morrell on The Backstage Pass for an honest, behind-the-scenes conversation about his music, life on the road, and artistic evolution.
Tyler opens up about parting ways with his record label after seven years to reclaim creative freedom, releasing 23 independent songs on Poppy & Iris, and teaming up with longtime friend and guitarist Joe to bring a raw, rock-infused energy to his new music. He also shares the emotional story behind his powerful single “Make You Stay,” written around suicide prevention awareness, the 11-year journey of “Lost Time,” navigating the oversaturated music industry, and why putting on your own “oxygen mask” first is essential for mental health and self-care.
