Tylor & the Train Robbers are an Americana band rooted in the high desert landscapes of the American West and based out of Boise, Idaho. Known for their gritty lyricism, tight musicianship, and relentless work ethic, the band has carved out a space in the national roots music scene with a sound that’s as timeless as it is fresh. Fronted by singer-songwriter Tylor Ketchum, and joined by brothers Jason Bushman (bass) and Tommy Bushman (drums), along with lead guitarist Antonio Vazquez, their musical bond runs deep—fueled by family, hard touring, and a shared love of authentic storytelling.
Their music blends outlaw country, red-dirt rock, folk, and Western soul, echoing influences like Robert Earl Keen, Townes Van Zandt, and Steve Earle, while forging a path that’s distinctly their own. With rich harmonies and road-
worn energy, Tylor & the Train Robbers turn every show into a journey—equal parts sweat, soul, and story.
Since releasing their 2017 debut album Gravel, the band has continued to evolve both in sound and scope. Their 2019 follow-up, Best of the Worst Kind, dug deeper into historical and personal narratives—most notably on “The Ballad of Black Jack Ketchum,” inspired by Tylor’s distant relative and legendary outlaw.
In 2022, they released Non-Typical Find, a standout record produced by Cody Braun of Reckless Kelly, showcasing a more refined, expansive sound that remained grounded in character-driven songwriting.
Their latest release, Hum of the Road (2024), further solidified their voice in the Americana scene—offering ten tracks that span rock-and-roll grit, country swing, and even touches of psychedelic folk. Recorded in Wimberley, TX, and produced by Cody Braun, the album captures the tension, romance, and rawness of life on tour. As Tylor puts it, “Life on the road definitely can feel like the Wild West at times.”
Building on the momentum of that release, the band is now preparing to launch a new live album, recorded in their hometown of Boise, Idaho, and set for release this January. The project captures the raw energy of their live show and the deep connection they’ve built with their fans through years of relentless touring—sometimes clocking in over 200 shows a year.
Tylor & the Train Robbers have shared stages with Americana heavyweights like Turnpike Troubadours, Reckless Kelly, Silverada, and The Wilder Blue, earning a reputation as one of the hardest-working and most authentic bands on the circuit. Whether playing an intimate club or a packed festival stage, they deliver performances rooted in honesty, grit, and brotherhood.
From the open highways of the West to dive bars and festival fields, Tylor & the Train Robbers continue to ride forward—carrying stories worth telling and songs worth singing.
Hooks & The Huckleberries
Hooks & The Huckleberries are on a hellbent tear to greatness. Their cross-genre concoction of Americana, Country, and fierce roots rock delivers fans a soulful, magnetic, and boot-stomping good time. Fabled frontman and rebel son-of-a-preacher, Adam Hooks leads the group from the gritty high deserts of New Mexico. The band’s poetic performances have earned them reverence from a growing and eclectic fanbase through relentless efforts on the road.
Their eagerly-awaited second album, ‘For the Love of Whatever,’ emerged from mastermind producer, Matt Pence’s (Jason Isbell, Nikki Lane) Echo Lab studio in Denton, Texas. This new collection of songs has the band exploring emotive sonic depths of striking songwriting, driven by Hooks’ lyrical prowess and lead guitarist Joshua Lee’s virtuosic blend of roots guitar styles infused with space-age sounds and dreamlike textures. The stage-shaking rhythm section, led by drummer Dustin Hoag, brings a level of raw energy and excitement that elevates every track.
