Rising Country music star Ty Myers will be a long way from home after swapping cattle ranches for the big stadium stages in a huge breakthrough year for the teen
As the Country music bug continues to sweep the UK, one rising star has promised a show to remember during his debut set in Europe. Ty Myers might only be 18, but the musician’s meteoric rise sees him head to Blighty for the Country 2 Country festival this month labelled as the artist to watch by Grammy and Spotify.
He’ll quickly follow up his festival feature with a return to these shores to support the legendary Luke Combs. It’s all a far cry from his early years when the Ends of the Earth singer spent his childhood on a cattle ranch.
But it’s this upbringing that Ty says is helping to mould him into the next big thing in the genre. Speaking exclusively to the Mirror, the teen said: “I mean, there are many lessons you learn growing up. Everybody you see around you, in this, and in that industry, is hard working.

“You just put your head down and do it. And that’s just a great way to live life. And really, I take that over into the music industry and the music business, and it’s been a great, great help to me, for sure.”

Known for his ability to blend traditional country storytelling with blues, soul and rock influences, Ty believes his success comes from being able to relate to the younger audience. “I feel like the most logical reasoning [as to why he is already so successful] is I’m writing all my own songs.
“I’m writing to my generation from where I get it, you know? We all think the same. We’re all very emotional. We’re all trying to figure it out, and it’s such a strange world to navigate right now, especially at our age.
“And I feel I maybe connecting because of that, because I get them, because I deal with the same problems as them.”
Following his shows in London, Glasgow and Belfast as part of the C2C: Country to Country festival ensemble, Ty will join Luke on his massive My Kinda Saturday Night Tour.
After playing in stadiums in the US, he will returning to the UK and Ireland with the hitmaker later in the year where he will perform at Slane Castle in Dublin, Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh, and Wembley Stadium in London.
And he’s told his fans to expect a show that is “all about the music”. Admitting there’s “not a whole lot of pyrotechnics or flaming rings and jumping bicycles,” Ty said he lives for making music on stage.
And in a message to his UK and Irish fans, Ty said: “I’ve heard nothing but amazing things about European crowds. So I’m, I’m, I’m expecting a lot of energy and a lot of love for music, because that’s all I’ve heard. So I have big expectations.”
