Tyler Bryant Concert at the UC Ballroom on Sunday, April 11, 2010

The University of Montana's Entertainment Management program is also hosting Robert Johnson Blues Foundation New Generation Award winner Tyler Bryant to headline a concert at the University Center Ballroom as part of the kick off for "Spring Thaw" on Sunday, April 11, 2010. Tickets are $10, and can be purchased at The Source in the UC and at Rockin Rudy's.

Tyler Bryant has played at the Grammy Foundation's "Music in Focus" with rock sensation Kenny Wayne Sheppard. Bryant has also performed at Eric Clapton's Crossroads Guitar Festival in Chicago and was signed by Creative Artist Agency on the spot after just one performance. Bryant is also the first artist to not have an album or a record label and still have one of his songs on Guitar Hero. His song "Who I am" is on the Guitar Hero 5 expansion pack.

"It has been awhile since there has been someone who has the total package and can shred like Tyler," Said Jon Huie of CAA.
