Info for LIVE From '79

On the evening of May 12, 2023, Tyler Bryant & the Shakedown performed a direct master recording at Welcome To 1979 in Nashville, TN to celebrate the studios 15th anniversary. In honor of this, 15 Universal Audio 1176 compressors were used in the recording of this record. The performance was mixed and mastered LIVE as the band played. No stops and no do overs. Here's a glimpse into that magical Nashville night for those of you who couldn't be there.

The group have played hundreds upon hundreds of shows with countless venerable icons, such as AC/DC, Jeff Beck, Guns N’ Roses, Alice Cooper, ZZ Top, Clutch, and Blackberry Smoke, just to name a few.

“We’ve always prided ourselves on being a live band,” says Tyler, “We dig when rock n roll is raw, when flaws are embraced, and humanity is amplified. When Universal Audio asked us if we’d consider recording an album direct to disk at Welcome To 1979, it was a no-brainer.”

This album was recorded, mixed, and mastered LIVE in front of a studio audience as the vinyl lacquer was being cut. No stopping, editing, or polishing!

“We started Rattle Shake Records (their independent label that allows them a direct line of communication with their fans) so we could create and share moments like this with you,” says the band.

As of now, ‘LIVE From ’79’ will only exist on vinyl. Signed and unsigned copies are available to pre-order HERE

All pre-orders and merch bundles will ship on or before September 29th.

If that’s not exciting enough, the band has partnered with Veeps to stream the complete recording session!

“We’re excited for TBSD supporters around the world to be able to come together and experience what we consider to be a perfectly reckless snapshot of us doing exactly what we love to do,“ say Tyler and the band.

This is a raw snapshot of the band doing what they do night after night on the road. When a band records direct to disk, nothing can be polished, edited, or manipulated using studio magic. Flaws are embraced and humanity is amplified, as it should be in LIVE, LOUD, ROCK N ROLL.

Tyler Bryant & The Shakedown
is a rock and roll band that forms in Nashville Tennessee in 2009. When it comes to their performances, you’re really not sure what you’re going to get when you see them live, but I can guarantee you’re in for a good time! With a wide variety of rock infused blues that teeters on the edge of alternative and classic rock!

Their over the top performances leaves the fans wanting more, while leaving everything they got left on the stage. Their music is raw and rambunctious, with quality musicianship from each of the band members. But before we can talk about how great they are as a band, you need to check out their stories. There is a reason why this band is creating such a buzz and collecting fans along the way.

Tyler Bryant wanted to learn guitar so his parents went to a local guitar shop in Paris, Texas and while he got the guitar, while hanging out in the guitar store, an older gentlemen is playing the blues. Furthermore, he asked Bryant if he liked the blues and Bryant responds that he doesn’t know the blues. The older gentlemen tells the kid that he will teach him. Bryant ends up taking lessons from him, which leads him to rock, and other genres.

When he turns fifteen they start a band called the “Blues Buddies.”, they even got gigs as the opening act for the likes of Paul Simon and others. At seventeen, he quits school, moves to Nashville, gets noticed and talks his way into the local music scene and bullshitting his way into getting gigs. It worked because he got plenty of gigs this way including opening for Jeff Beck. Shortly after he meets drummer Caleb Crosby and starts performing locally around Nashville. Calling themselves “The Shakedown” after that, they meet Graham Whitford, (son of Brad -Aerosmith), a rocker kid from Boston.

As soon as Tyler heard Graham play, he asks him to join the band and move to Nashville right away. When push comes to shove, they manage to open for the likes of Aerosmith, Guns N’ Roses, AC/DC, ZZ Top, along with B.B. King. But wait! There’s more… Their song, “House on Fire,” is featured an episode of “Sons of Anarchy” – “The Mad King” in 2013 which really gives the band a lot of attention! Finally In 2014, Tyler Bryant & the Shakedown get a deal with Republic Records, to record a full album with the group.

Currently, the group is still performing and already have four successful albums under their belt. Plus, they continue to tour quite often opening for bands as well as doing rock festivals. Over time there has been some line-up changes but the current members are Tyler Bryant (lead guitar & vocals), Graham Whitford (rhythm guitar), Ryan Fitzgerald (bass), and Caleb Crosby (drums).

This album contains no booklet.
