The story
The story behind the music.
Tyler Kinch is an Arkansas country artist and U.S. Air Force veteran whose music pairs modern-country drive with working-class storytelling.
His catalog ranges from the patriotic weight of “Frontlines” to the dance-floor energy of “Dancing with a Cowboy.” “Frontlines” reached a national television audience through Fox & Friends, while “Dancing with a Cowboy” has surpassed 500,000 streams across all platforms and, with songwriter Darren Barry, earned recognition as the 2026 Arkansas Country Music Awards Song of the Year.
Onstage, Tyler brings an energetic, audience-first show shaped by years of touring clubs, festivals, theaters, dance halls, casinos, and community events across the South.
With F.A.F.O. (Flirt Around and Find Out) arriving October 9, Tyler is moving into a sharper, bolder chapter—without leaving behind the songs and values that built his audience.
