I started an experiment in January of 2016. I was tired of touring- tired of being away from home- tired of not writing. So, I started a subscription only service that released a short album every month (3-6 songs) which concentrated on that theme. I also prepared a short podcast on that theme. This is the podcast- FromThe Secret Lair. To hear the music go to tylerlyle.bandcamp.com to sign up

Creative communities exist for a remarkably short time compared to the impact that they can have. This month examines my time in my early 20s at The Cabin in Atlanta; Greenwich Village in the 60s; and The French Cafes of the Left Bank in the 1920s.
