Tyler John Kraehling with Ruru
Hailing from the Northeastern states, Tyler John Kraehling has been traveling through the country with eyes open, taking stock of the lives of the people who inhabit it. Drenched in the tradition of American troubadours, he tells stories that speak to the novelties and banalities of what it means to walk this earth. Living everywhere from Los Angeles, New York City, Idaho, Vermont, Texas and most recently Montana, he boasts a claim that he is in a unique company of travelers who are qualified to tell the stories they do, with the universe of detail they do. His fingerpicking styles range from the folk staples of John Prine and Townes Van Zandt to the country-blues of legends Furry Lewis, Taj Mahal and Chris Smither. Armed with songs that will make you feel the full spectrum of emotion, and with clothes and guitars that are mostly second-hand; his songs are anything but.
Playing another set on the show will be Ruru. Ruru is a singer-songwriter originally from Wales, now living and working on a ranch with his wife in Owyhee County, Idaho. Having spent the last decade in Australia working cattle in remote far North Queensland and as a Carpenter on the surf coast chasing waves. Ru brings the grit and soul of his experiences to his music, crafting heartfelt songs about work, ranching, love, and life.
