Having most recently sung the National Anthem at Kid Rock's huge Comerica Park shows, Ty is excited about the opportunity to put together a talented band of musicians from Detroit. "If you're willing to work hard and commit yourself to the music, then you'll have the chance to play on the big stage. I'm looking for musicians who are ready to give it everything they've got: leave your ego at the door, pay your dues, and if you've got the talent -here's your opportunity to be seen and heard. It's your chance to shine!" explains Ty.
