Myers isn’t your typical modern country music star like Luke Combs, Jelly Roll or Morgan Wallen – he’s 18 with a love for blues
Ty Myers is a young man with vintage tastes. His 2025 debut album, The Select – its title nods to the Parisian brasserie from Ernest Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises – puts bluesy guitar riffs against low-slung soul-rock grooves, as in the twangy “Let ‘Em Talk” and the waltz-time “Ends of the Earth”, which has been streamed more than 70 million times on Spotify and is slowly moving up the country radio chart.
Yet the singer has built his growing audience the new-fashioned way. In 2023, not long after he started posting music online, his song “Tie That Binds” went viral on TikTok.
These days, the platform is filled with videos of teenage girls, many even younger than Myers, screaming along with him at concerts, like the one he played recently after a Royals game at Kansas City’s Kauffman Stadium.
His latest single, a stately 70s-style ballad called “Through a Screen”, is about falling in love with someone you’ve never met in the flesh.
