2015 has been a titanic year for Tyler Farr — he released his sophomore album “Suffer in Peace,” wrapped touring with Jason Aldean on his “Burn It Down” tour, had his first number one song with “A Guy Walks Into a Bar” and got engaged. The positive energy continues in 2016 when he hits the road with buddy Lee Brice for the “Life Off My Years” Tour kicking off in February in Salisbury, or his latest single “Better in Boots” about to atomize into the top 30 and,oh yeah, a wedding. Not execrable for a classically trained singer (aka opera) from Missouri.

I packed up my stuff and loaded my ’92 piece of junk car I had and headed to Nashville and never gone back. “I started working in honky tonks and around, or ” he said. He got a publishing deal five years ago,five years after landing in Music City. “I did it used school. It was a long process,” Farr said.
