Bio
Tyler was born in Stroudsburg, PA and graduated from Pocono Mountain High
School. He then attended Musicians Institute in Hollywood, CA, before moving
to Nashville in 2006.
Tyler learned guitar construction business while working with his father,
Dale Unger, who is the sole owner of American Archtop Guitar Company. Tyler
has been playing and building guitars most of his life. He produces original
songs and covers a broad spectrum of musical styles. He can tailor his
playing style to whatever style is required but prefers a more blues-based
style.
Tyler was a C.O.T.A. Cat and performed in the Delaware Water Gap Jazz
Festival for several years under the direction of Phil Woods. He toured
with a country band throughout eastern PA and performed on the "Miles of
Music" TV Show with Chuck Anderson. You can see and hear Tyler on Mel Bays
instructional DVD with Bucky Pizzarelli. The Martin guitar company also
sponsored Tyler to perform at a NAMM show at the Martin booth, and Tyler was
the assistant teacher for NCACC College teaching Martin's design class.
Tyler continues to pursue his musical career and work at Gruhn Guitars.
