Tyler Dezago is a fiddler, guitarist, music educator and songwriter rooted in American Traditional Music. As a songwriter, Tyler’s brings new repertoire to the genre, continuing the tradition of sharing stories centered around place, people, and the adversities they faced. 

His songwriting is rich in detal and brings listeners back in time to the days when stories and music were passed orally and generationally. In concert audiences are reminded of folk heroes like Jim Croce and James Taylor and his guitar playing is reminiscent of Norman Blake and David Rawlings. On the fiddle he is a modern traditionalist. His upbringing as a classical musician shows between the slides and double stops of old-time fiddling. He is a member of High on the Hog Stringband and Strawberry Wine Trio and performs regularly across the Adirondacks and Upstate New York. 

Tyler teaches fiddle, guitar, and clawhammer banjo by ear in person in the Hudson Valley and online. Check out workshops/lessons to learn more.
