Tyler Mullendore
A down home heart with a classic rock pulse.
ABOUT
Born from the soul of Cape Breton soil, Tyler Mullendore blends rough and tumble roots rock with the electrified emotion of southern fried Americana. Tyler pays forward the heart-wrenching wistfulness of Bob Seger and the lyrical introspection of John Prine with a classic rock pulse that’s made all the more compelling by the remarkable band behind him.
The Canadian Idol finalist proves why he was awarded the top spot in eOne’s national “Big Break” songwriting competition; it’s clear the judges were just as taken with the authenticity of his songs as you’re sure to be.
With his debut EP, “Time Heals Everything”, Mullendore draws from the bottomless well of inspiration that seems to guide artists who hail from Cape Breton Island. His stories are shaped by his own personal trials, yet made deeply relatable by his lyrical prowess. Songs like “She’s a Storm” pinpoints the hopelessness and dejection that arises when faced with an emotionally stagnant relationship; searching for the fleeting calmness of the eye of the storm while the hurricane surges around you. “Living the Dream” is a monologue soaked in regret, like someone endlessly longing for the desperate return to better days while reaching for the promise of a future that’s forever out of grasp. “Mama Cry” reads like an intervention letter, a plea for a loved one to better themselves and get their life back on track.
“Time Heals Everything” has its share of tales of sorrow and regret, but it ultimately culminates in the promise of positivity as one comes to grips with their own flaws and failures while looking hopefully towards better things to come.
The much anticipated, “Time Heals Everything” is a reminder that change is invariably a good thing. As the years pass, wounds close and the pain abates, reminding us to be good to ourselves, and take life’s lessons in stride as challenges are met and overcome.
