Writing & Music

Very average guy writing about very average things. Slightly better than average at doing it.
Tyler Sj. Music
I started playing guitar at age 22 when I moved to Oregon and had no friends. After gigging a little through my late 20s and early 30s with my band The Relics, I settled into just strumming here and there as a hobby. (I played a lotta weddings too. Let's not talk about the weddings.)
Funny thing happened though - I quit drinking in 2021, and decided a year later to give music a more concerted shot. I've played well over 100 shows since, released two WAMI-nominated albums with more on the way, and ya know what? I might just keep doing it.
These days, I live in northeast Wisconsin with my wife and two awesome little boys, and I write about the things I know - family, growing up and figuring shit out, sobriety. As I learn about more things, I'll write about them too.
See ya out there.

Tyler Sjostrom Written Stuff
As a (regretful?) English major, I have tons of articles from many, many publications over the years. Some I'm even proud of.
And so, we'll use this as a bit of a repository for some of the highlights. If there's a topic of conversation on your mind, there's a non-zero chance I've written 600 words about it at one point or another. Click the red box, see if you can find it.
