Hi! I'm Tyson Farmer, and I am a one-man fully independent musician and event entertainer from the North metro Atlanta area. I sing and play guitar with a wide spectrum of background music with bass, drums, keyboards, background vocals and more through a full but compact sound system that takes up an area as small as 5 feet by 4 feet. I perform almost any music style – rock, pop, oldies, dance hits, disco, 80s, southern rock, reggae, and many others. I am a full-production event entertainer, and I've been performing for a variety of weddings and events for over thirty years.

October 14, 2024Tyson was incredibly thoughtful and considerate for our special day. He asked us for a list of artists we enjoy, and we gave him quite the range -- Dolly Parton and Elvis to the Beatles, David Bowie and Taylor Swift -- and he played it all in acoustic guitar, and with aplomb!
On the day of our wedding, he arrived over an hour before his set started to get the lay of the land and set up, and he seamlessly played for us for our ceremony and reception. We very easily identified the songs he was playing, and he kept the vibes up at our brunch wedding... So much so that even though we didn't do dancing, our 3 young nieces couldn't resist and twirled to his tunes on the dance floor! I would highly recommend hiring Tyson for your event!

February 20, 2023Tyson did a fantastic job at our corporate event. As sometimes happens, we felt the need to switch gears in the program and Tyson worked it seamlessly. He even performed as impromptu MC when time to introduce one of our speakers came up, also he aroused interest in the upcoming raffle and door prize session. Thanks Tyson, great job!

October 29, 2022Tyson read the room and knew exactly how to play to the mood. When to go softer and when to try and get the crowd up and dancing. We'll definitely be asking him to come back!

With my unique brand of services, the people at your wedding, party or function can dance and enjoy a lively atmosphere without the hassle and extra decibels of a full live band setup, but with a lot more room left over to dance in. With powerful vocals running the range of Van Morrison, Maroon 5, The Four Tops, Al Greene, Daft Punk, Earth, Wind and Fire, Steely Dan, Hall and Oates, The Eagles, Chicago and many more, everyone at your function is sure to hear something they can dance to. Check out my short video for all the details, and take a look at my setlist - I'm always adding to it to keep things fresh and fun.
Booking times are limited, so inquire about openings now!
I have been playing guitar and singing for over 38 years. I studied classical guitar at Kennesaw University, and jazz guitar at Georgia State University, and have studied under numerous independent vocal and guitar teachers over the years. I have played solo and worked with a variety of bands and artists throughout my music career, including live band rap and electronica groups, wedding bands, numerous classic rock, oldies, country, and 80s rock cover bands, and even Dolly Parton and Elvis impersonators. I have also played and sang in Atlanta's premiere wedding band, The Atlanta Band of Gold, since 2010. I always like to keep things musically up to date, fresh and fun, and I'm always looking forward to entertaining at my next great performance opportunity.
My technical needs are pretty simple - all I really need is a flat space of minimum 5 feet by 4 feet (ideally without too much walking traffic in the imediate area so people aren't tripping over my mic stand and stuff), and access to an electric plug or extension cable within 3 feet of that space. Everything else I provide myself, and am self sufficient and ready to rock after a quick setup - easy peasy!
