Tyler Bryant Releases Second Solo Single & Video “Planted”
Two-time GRAMMY Award-winning producer, engineer, and songwriter Tyler Bryant has released his second solo single, “Planted”, now available on all major streaming platforms along with an accompanying video. Best known as the fiery frontman of Tyler Bryant & The Shakedown, Bryant continues to expand his creative horizons, carving out an independent path as a solo artist.
“Planted” draws deeply from Bryant’s Texas upbringing:
“Growing up, my family always had a garden in the backyard. Some years were great, some were tough, but the garden was always there. Music has been the same for me. Ideas are planted, dreams are planted, not everything makes it to the table, but the process of making art and chasing those wild and crazy ideas is what it’s all about” says Tyler.
Written during a period of self-reflection, “Planted” arrived at a time when Bryant says he needed hope the most:
“I’ve always used music to help me make sense of things I couldn’t otherwise. Sharing this side of my writing feels like standing at the edge of a cliff, knowing I have to jump. My hope is that this song can be there for someone else the way it was for me.”
Bryant reflects “I used to have a sticker on the side of one of my studio speakers that read, “The only constant is change,” and I’ll be damned if that ain’t true. Feeling “Planted” in life is something that at times doesn’t seem all that easy. “The world is constantly changing, and so are we. Expectations don’t always meet reality, but that doesn’t make the struggle worthless. I wrote this song to help myself out of an emotional rut. Hopefully it serves as a reminder that showing up for yourself, no matter the season, is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself.”
Recorded late one night at his Nashville studio, the track came together organically with the help of family and friends. Tarka Layman who plays bass in Larkin Poe contributed upright bass, Bryant’s brother-in-law Mike Seal added grand piano, and his wife Rebecca Lovell (Larkin Poe) delivered the harmony vocals.
Tyler adds “I love when songs happen like this, when the right people show up at the right time, and the track comes alive in a way you never quite expect.”
Planted follows Tyler’s recent single ‘Falling Up, which was crowned winner of Classic Rock’s Louder Tracks of the Week. Classic Rock praised the song, writing: “It’s like hearing Freddie King’s Going Down with Tyler’s youthful but heavy, dirty swagger driving it forward.”
With Planted, Tyler Bryant continues to redefine himself, not just as a frontman or producer, but as a solo artist unafraid to dig deep.
