This week on Kinfolk, I got to sit down with Tyler Carden, the frontman of

We talked about growing up in southern West Virginia, how a high school band program (and a director who believed in them) shaped everything they do today, and what it means to chase music without losing sight of where you come from.

Tyler spoke with so much heart about giving back to Liberty High, lifting up other local artists, and holding onto that sense of community even when the road isn't easy.

This is the kind of conversation that reminds you: it's not just about playing music. It's about building something real.
