About Tyler Farr
Columbia Nashville artist
Tyler Farr’s breakthrough debut album REDNECK
CRAZY marked the biggest country debut of the year by a new
male artist and the year’s highest entry by a debut male country artist on the
all-genre Billboard 200 album sales chart on arrival, landing at #2 on the
Country Albums Chart and #5 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums Chart. Hailed as
the “song of the summer” by The
New York Times, the #1, platinum-selling title-track “Redneck
Crazy” garnered more than 13 million combined video views and earned Tyler a
CMT nomination for “Breakthrough Video of The Year.” Following “Redneck Crazy,”
Tyler’s Gold-certified hit, “Whiskey in My Water,” earned the Missouri native
back-to-back #1’s and his energetic live shows garnered rave reviews for his
coveted opening slots touring with Jason Aldean, Florida Georgia Line and Lee
Brice and industry recognition as a 2014 CRS New Faces of Country Radio and
2014 Music Row “Breakthrough Artist of the Year” nominee. Currently on tour
with Jason Aldean’s BURN IT
DOWN TOUR and set to hit the road with Brantley Gilbert’s LET IT RIDE TOUR in
