Tyler McCollum & Jarrod Morris

7:30 PM–9:00 PM — Tyler McCollum & Jarrod Morris

Tyler McCollum’s style of singing and songwriting touches on the country, Americana, blues, and folk genres. He began playing guitar and writing at the age of 10 in his hometown of Conroe, Texas, and later spent formative years in Stephenville, Texas; Nashville, Tennessee; and now Austin, Texas, where he currently lives. McCollum’s devotion to crafting songs wrapped in story and imagery offers a unique perspective for the listener to enjoy. He credits many Texas songwriters as his earliest influences, including Hayes Carll, Adam Carroll, and Davin James.

Texas-based singer-songwriter Jarrod Morris spent most of his early twenties in isolation, working hard shoeing horses. This lifestyle laid the groundwork and set the stage for him to write hundreds of songs, eventually leading to an opportunity to record his first full album, West of East. Through an emphasis on social media marketing, the record and its singles achieved immediate success in the Texas country format, laying a strong foundation for the next chapter of his musical journey. Jarrod aims to capture the free, wild spirit of the American cowboy with smooth, memorable melodies and gritty vocals that can range from a sensitive, contemplative, lonely late-night drive to a full-on summertime folk-rock revival.
