E11 Tyler Meacham

Please welcome Tyler Meacham to Season 2 of the Small Venue Music podcast! Tyler is an incredible singer-songwriter who has contributed so much to the music scene here in Richmond, Virginia. Her new single, “dream house,” is an emotional piece that reflects feelings of loss, grief, and personal inspiration. This is an amazing episode, with conversations and performances recorded at Crazy Rooster Brewing Company in Powhatan.

Tyler starts by playing her new single “dream house” live. She then joins host Don Busick and the two discuss everything that went into the creation of her song. Tyler talks about production and promotion efforts, filming her music video while on a trip to Asheville, North Carolina, and outlines what success looks like for her music. She also comments on the state of the music industry, and how challenging the landscape can be for many artists to navigate.

Tyler goes on to play two more of her songs. “Better Than I Used To Be” comes from her 2022 album “Into the Fray.” Tyler also plays “Denver,” a track that was released in 2019.

Tyler rejoins the conversation and discusses how she came to be a professional musician. She talks about getting her dream job at Disney, but feeling boxed in by a life that was outlined for her. She found that creating music was the best way to both express herself and try something new every day. Through ups and downs, Tyler talks about the many different hats she wears.

Lastly, Tyler shares her thoughts on the Richmond music scene. She wants to increase cooperation and support between musicians, especially with other female artists. Tyler notes that too often it feels like there’s not enough room for her and her peers to share the spotlight, and that this sense of competition limits the growth of such a wonderful community.
