Hello everyone I'm Tyler & I'm currently attending the University of Connecticut. Although I'm not a music major, I have been playing music for over 10 years & performed in 100+ gigs with my old jazz band (Jazz Fluid Trio) & master percussionist John Marshall. As of now, I'm looking to join a serious band or at least find some cool jam partners in or around Storrs, CT. While I'm only allowed to pick 3 musical genres, I can play almost any style outside of classical.
On a side note, I have not put any music/videos up of myself because I technically don't own any of the rights to them. So if you're interested in hearing a sample, feel free to drop a line & I'll get back to you ASAP.
