Bryant is a winner of the Robert Johnnson Foundation’s New Generation Award,
recognizing him as one of the most promising new artists on the music scene. He
performed at Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar Festival in Chicago in 2007. Twenty-
time Grammy Award winner Vince Gill has said of Bryant: “To be 18 and play like this
kid is the rarest of the rare. Hands down a future guitar god.” Acclaimed electric
guitarist Steve Vai has also weighed in: “Every now and then a player comes along
whose spirit jumps out at you when they start grinding. Tyler invokes an adrenaline
rush much like a powerful dose of electric sugar.”
Bryant is currently co-starring with Jeff Beck, Santana, Slash and others in the award-
winning documentary, Rock Prophecies — sponsored by Samsung Memoir™, which
chronicles the career of legendary rock and roll photographer, Robert Knight (Led
Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix).
