Tyler Bryant joins Tyler Larson and Jared James Nichols for one of the most unique No Cover Charge episodes yet. Instead of a traditional interview, the guys head to Tyler Bryant's incredible Crosstie Studio in Nashville and build a brand-new song from scratch.

Watch the songwriting process unfold in real time as riffs turn into arrangements, solos get traded, tones are dialed in, and three friends chase inspiration together. Along the way, Tyler gives a tour of his Grammy-winning studio, shares production insights, and shows how great records come together.

If you're into guitar, songwriting, recording, music production, Nashville musicians, Tyler Bryant & The Shakedown, or just watching great players create music together, this episode is for you.
