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.

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.

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.

Over the years his songwriting has taken on a texture reflective of the mountains he grew up in, using their power and imagery to craft songs that navigate life, loss, and joys and heartbreak of the human condition.

Colourblind
Indie Rock based in Bozeman, Montana
Sam was a guitarist going to school in Bozeman, Montana, when he crossed paths with Woody, another musician with a knack for songwriting and a love for the same records. What started as playing some covers together turned into bouncing ideas back and forth to write music of their own. Before long, they had enough songs for a (rough) set and decided to throw a garage show for some friends in town. That night laid the foundation for something bigger. Among the crammed garage audience was Cade, who was drawn to what the two kids were up to. After talking post-show, he joined as the drummer, solidifying their core lineup, and further developing the identity of Colourblind.
The band spent the next few months playing local gigs and refining their sound. The following summer, at one of their shows, they met Louie, whose bass playing brought the final missing piece. With the full lineup in place, Colourblind began to carve out their identity in the Montana music scene, playing venues like the Tune Up, Filling Station, and Armory Music Hall, leading up to the release of their debut EP on February 28th, 2025.
