notes

Growing up a skinny preacher’s kid in Spokane, Washington, Tyrone Wells was discouraged from listening to pop music and only exposed to gospel. Little did he know a decade later, the roots of soul would become a key element of his passionate, irresistible and utterly unique songs. Combining pop, soul, and rock, Tyrone sings about true love, war and heartbreak with equal power and sincerity, coming across as a voice for a generation that’s both idealistic and confused.

In his five years on the music scene as a singer-songwriter, he has evolved in an honest and organic manner, first scrambling for gigs and selling albums from the trunk of his car to eventually packing out The House of Blues and having his songs featured prominently on television programs. Wells’ major label debut Hold On is a fresh release filled with new promises. The first single from the record “What Are We Fighting For?” exemplifies his ability to mingle different styles into a seamless composition. A pulsing rocker fueled by a love for R&B, the song blends organic acoustic guitar, choir vocals and chiming organ into a complete array of sound. Lyrically, “What Are We Fighting For?” is just as multifaceted, addressing subjects like the difficulty of relationship, racial reconciliation and the futility of war.

“I was watching the news, and was just overwhelmed with all the death,” explains Wells. “And as I wrote the song, it started to take on its own life. I was thinking about people, communication and loving each other and then the rest of it just came out. I think it raises some important questions and I think there’s not enough of that going on.”

While “What Are We Fighting For?” raises poignant questions, it isn’t at all pessimistic, drawing inspiration in the bridge from Martin Luther King Jr’s “I Have a Dream” speech to convey a message of hope and love: “I have a dream/One day we’ll see/All men be free/I still believe.”

Other songs on the album are equally powerful, but in different ways. “Dream Like New York,” for example, is a sun-drenched ballad full of pop splendor and romantic yearning, combining conventional pop instrumentation with strings and piano. Featuring timeless lines like “Dream like New York, as high as the skyline/Aim for the stars, above those city lights,” the track has already been embraced for its regional significance and played during New York Mets games in Shea Stadium. In addition, it was featured in “Everyone’s Hero” (an animated film about legendary New York Yankee, Babe Ruth) and the trailers of the “50 Greatest Moments at Madison Square Garden” documentary.

Born the youngest of five children – and the only son – Tyrone grew up performing in the shadows of sisters who were accomplished. Belying his present on-stage ease, he recalls that paralyzing stage fright almost kept him out of the spotlight. “I knew I had a lot of fear in my eyes. I just kept getting up, embarrassing myself and doing it again, then one day it all came together.”

While Wells wrote songs as early as junior high and high school, he didn’t take the craft seriously until he attended college in Southern California. As an emerging singer/songwriter Tyrone needed a stage. He explains, “I went down to the local coffeehouse – McClain’s – and I asked the owner, ‘Would you give me a test run and let me play every Thursday for a month?’” The one-month gig turned into a three-year run. “Getting up in front of a crowd, winning the audience, trying new songs, that, more than anything in my career, has been the best thing I did.” On-stage, Tyrone began introducing other components – even yodeling -- into his show. “Beyond being a singer/songwriter,” he avows. “I want to be a storyteller. When I feel like I’ve communicated something important to someone in the audience, that’s when I feel the magic.”

By the time he stopped playing McClain’s, the room was maxed out every week and crowds were spilling out of the doors of the venue and listening from outside. “I was like, ‘Wow, this is really working,’” Wells says. “The fact that it sustained itself and grew, and I had to go to a bigger room was great. I was selling a lot of records independently by doing things in a really grass roots fashion. I could see the growth and that was really exciting to me.”

Wells recorded his first studio album Snapshot, and then followed with Close: Live at McClain’s in 2005. He started working on Hold On in late 2005, and culled the songs from material he had written over the prior two years. Unlike his earlier records, which were primarily acoustic, Hold On is a full band album. Produced by Chris Karn, the record proves that Wells is just as capable of turning up the amps and rocking out as he is of soothing audiences with bittersweet lullabies.

“I was in such a great space when I wrote the record,” Wells says. “I was just going for it, and trying to write the best songs I could and I got totally lost in the process. I had just met my wife, I was making a living doing music and there was nobody telling me what to do.”

By early 2006, Wells was regularly selling out Los Angeles clubs like the House of Blues, The Viper Room, Troubadour and The El Rey Theatre and people in the music business were taking notice. Now signed to Universal Republic Records, Tyrone is touring full-time and his infectious, soulful voice and undeniable songs are being introduced to people all over the country. Wells said, "Whether I'm in a coffee-shop down the street or on a national tour, I'm grateful to be doing what I love."

    I am a big fan of Rescue Me, and now a new fan of Tyrone Wells, and CD BABY! Glad I found them both. Great CD, and excellent customer service

    author: Laurel

    Many times when I buy cds, there are just a few songs that I really like. Not so with Snapshot - every song is a good one. Tyrone Wells has produced songs that I can listen to over and over again and never get tired of. I give this cd as gifts to family and friends that I know appreciate good music.

    author: Tawnie

    This CD is so great! I heard SEABREEZE on a website, loved it, and immediately decided to just go buy the CD. I am so glad I did. EVERY song on the CD is awesome. Everyone that I let listen to goes out and buys their own copy. Haven't found a CD where I like every song in quite a while.

  • Fantastic!

    author: rangrfan

    I heard "when all is said and done" on an episode of Rescue Me and searched the Internet literally for hours until I found out who sang it. What an amazing and moving song, gives me goosebumps everytime I hear it. Can't wait to hear the whole album!

    author: Jen C.

    Same as above - What can I say different. CD is great. Tyrone can convey his heart felt words and has made some beautiful music out of it. Love it..

  • So Glad I Have Ears. . .
    author: KGB's Thoughts On Snapshot

    Okay. . .wow. Haunting in parts. Melodic. Thought provoking. It's like he puts me in another place which is lovely. Such a refreshing change from the heavy-rotation, mass appeal cacophony that is the norm. I'm so glad I found Tyrone Wells. Late though I may be. Seriously, I heard Sea Breeze playing in the background of a TV show. At that point, I didn't know who or what the song was. I "googled" the lyrics and found TW. Now I must go get his other stuff too. Really, really wonderful.

  • Awesome music....talented guy. CD Baby was great!
    author: J

    You will love this CD. Tyrones voice is amazing on all the tracks and the lyrics are great...very nostalgic. The kind of CD you can play over and over.

    author: Joe Rosales

    okay...so this is Tyrone's older CD...it's not as good as the Live one, but seriously.."All I Can Do" and "Wondering Where You Are" are worth buying the CD...this guy is amazing. Everyone i've let listen to him becomes a fan...TYRONE WELLS IS #2, AND JESUS IS #1

  • Awesome!
    author: Beth

    I also go to Orange Lutheran, but I've only seen him perform twice, and both times were at school. I would love to see him more in the future! Honestly, the first time he came to perform I thought "wow, this guy is way too girly and emotional," but the second time he came I was in love. Sea Breeze is my favorite (like basically everyone else out there), but the best thing about Tyrone is that he is down-to-earth in his lyrics and as a person. Very likely that anyone who hears Tyrone will love him!

  • This CD rocks!
    author: Adriana

    This CD was great, the music rocks and I would consider it $13 very well spent!

  • Best CD we've heard in years- music, lyrics, voice, all unbeatable.
    author: Lyn & Robin

    First heard All I can do on Rescue Me and had to track this guy down. Nobody we asked in record stores in UK had heard of Tyrone so we had to order via Internet. We are now spreading the word and everyone who's heard this CD is amazed at his talent.

  • This cd will always be in your cd player
    author: Ryan Smith

    This cd was given to me by a friend and before i listened to it i said who is this goofy looking guy. after listening to it i have to say he has one of the best voices i have ever heard. this cd will always be one of the 6 in your cd player.

  • #1 on my list
    author: Tom Weber

    Snapshot has to be one of the greatest albums I've ever purchased!

  • One of the best CD's I have ever heard.
    author: Maureen

    Snapshot is one of the best CD's I have ever heard. Loved When All is Said and Done on the Rescue Me episode, so glad I found the CD.

  • Powerful and means something .
    author: Steve Moore

    Like many in the UK, I first heard TW on "Rescue Me". Glad I found this guy! He sings from the Heart. Steve.

  • Awesome
    author: Michele

    This CD is pretty laid back and melodic. I ordered it because I like the FX Show "Rescue Me" and a couple songs on this CD have been on that show. Impressed and like the whole CD!

  • Excellent CD, buy it now!
    author: Chris

    Bought it after hearing "when all is said and done" on the end of "Rescue Me" The rest of the album is just as good so buy it now! I will be buying his other albums based on hearing this one. Chris. UK

  • Fantastic!
    author: Kevin

    I had planned to write a massive, eloquent piece praising this album but i can't even think of where to start. So simply, and truthfully, i will just say that this is the best CD i have ever bought.

  • im in awe......amazig everything i seriously love him
    author: dani

    im in love with this CD!!! my all time fav. song is sea breeze!!!! his vocie is amazing. tyrone's lyrics are so deep. im sure he will get HUGE!!

  • STUNNED

    basically...this is the sweetest CD ive ever heard. my sister gave it to me and now i LOVE IT. Listen JUST ONCE and u will love it TOO

  • This guy needs to be picked up by a big label
    author: Ryan George

    He has that underground to "that's hot" potential even more than Norah Jones had. Great mix of moods and lyric intent. Songs much more succinct than his freshman project, even if less creative. I'd love to see this guy in a coffee house--have a feeling he'd be that much more expressive, and that's saying something.

  • Truly amazing
    author: Name Uneeded

    Snapshot is nothing short of remarkable. I have to admit that I am biased though because I was introduced to this CD by the love of my life. The songs themselves already possess such soul, but to me they are just a little bit more special.

  • I can't stop listening!!
    author: Heidi

    I'm totally addicted to Snapshot! I'm inspired and in awe of such talent. Tyrone's voice is magic. Thank you!

  • he is so amazing exspecially live
    author: Karlie

    Tyrone wells is absoultly amazing. He sang most of these songs at my school once and is such a nice guy on top of it. woundering where you are is my favorite song of all and seabreeze is amazing as well. he sounds even better with out his band, just playing his guitar. the whole cd is amazing and his music is insperational!!!

  • Flawless
    author: Kim Valverde

    The live CD was amazing. The songs are real and the lyrics are very expressive (much appreciated). I love the mix of rock/pop/folk in both cd's. The music is upbeat,romantic and heartfelt. The lyrics are clean and fun and I could listen to them for hours and hours. Definitely for road trips.

  • unbelievable

    one of the best cd's i have ever heard. ive spread this cd to everyone i know. it was for sure the best money ive ever spent. GO BUY THIS CD

  • AWESOME!
    author: Natalie B.

    Tyrone Wells Snapshot CD is awesome! Don't miss this one. I found it enthralling and moving. He takes the listener along with him on his journey through his lyrics and you cannot help getting caught up and going with him. I purchased the CD through cdBaby -- excellent customer service!!!

  • So very impressed --- one of my new favorites
    author: Emily

    I first heard Tyrone Wells on "Rescue Me" and fell in love with the music. I bought this CD and was not disappointed one bit. I don't a favorite -- there are too many to chose from.

    I really like the way Tyrone puts his heart in all of his music, wondering where you are is my favorite on this album and I also like The way you shine, I have been listening to Tyrone's music for a long time and it just gets better and better. Some of it even brings tears to your eyes.

    What can I say about Tyrone Wells that has not already been said in this forum? If you are thinking about purchasing this CD, stop thinking and just get it! You will not be disappointed - the CD is wonderfully diverse and every song is a winner. Tyrone's songs and voice will touch your spirit, warm your heart and put a little pep in your step. I was hooked with one listen to "No Good Without You" and could not wait to hear more. Buy Snapshot and then make you check out Tyrone at one of his live shows!!!

  • FrEaKiN AmAzInG!
    author: Amanda

    What can I say...ever since the first time I saw Tyrone at Mclain's, I have been hooked. He's practicaly the only thing I listen to these days! I just got his newest CD ( live at Mclain's...of course I was in the audience)and it just enthrawls my whole being with a sense of completness. I know this sounds wierd...but he just has the best voice i've heard in a while! If you love live performances, then he's one to see! A note to the ladies...he is super cute in that quirky kind of way! I love that he performes with his shoes off at Maclain's and I love how he is not afraid to share his feelings on God and his relationship with him. Definately a 10 in my book!

  • Best album i've bought in a while
    author: Julianne

    Tyrone came and played at Lake Ave's coffee house gathering in Altadena recently and really made an impression on me. He sang most of the songs from this album--Seabreeze--When All is Said and Done-- Grampa Blues really stood out and I'm glad to have the album to play them over and over. He just has such a good voice! and great lyrics! and good heart! I'm really encouraged by his music--playful and fun but also serious and passionate.

  • One of My Best Purchases Lately
    author: Mike M.

    This CD was amazing. Having not heard about Tyrone or his music other than what people have said on here, I was floored with how impressive the lyrics and his voice is.

  • unforgettable
    author: Taylor

    Wow! Tyrone Wells is truly a deep unforgettable artist who speaks from the heart! Ever since he came to my high school last October,I can't stop thinking about the amazing lyrics. He made our entire school @ Orange Lutheran come alive, it was a great feeling! We could all relate to his words because unlike some artists, he's real!

  • Unbelievable
    author: Shanna

    Tyrone was playing acoustic version's of his song's at Irving Spectrum. One listen to "Sea Breeze" and I was hooked, we bought his last 2 Cd's!!! Cant wait to see him in concert in January :)

Thank You for visiting Central Christian Church I found a favorite new artist.

  • Whoa!!
    author: Jordan Baker

    This CD is great! Especially Seabreeze and Things I Hate. Tyrone came to my highschool, Orange Lutheran, in California which I currently attend as a freshman. I loved the performance he gave for chapel about a 2 months ago!! My friends and I can't wait until he comes again! PLEASE DO! This CD has great lyrics! It makes you want to sway and lift your hands like we did at his performance!! Come again!

    Tyrone, coming from a family of musicians, I think I can spot talent, and you are great. I was taken on an inspirational journey and did not want to stop listening.

  • Needs to be shared
    author: Jane L.

    After getting this CD because of hearing one of the songs on "Rescue Me", I realized that they are ALL excellent, whether slow and sad or good for dancing, so I had to get 2 more copies to give to friends.

  • What good songwriting is all about...
    author: Jeff Ellis

    This album is excellent!!! It is what good songwriting is all about! I heard the last track, When All is SAid and Done, on the FX original series, Rescue Me, and I knew I had to have it! Where most singles are the only good songs on an album, this cd is the exact opposite. Every song is a winner! Definately worth the purchase.

  • Amazing, thanks for coming to our school!
    author: Therese

    This CD is amazing! He sang these songs at out school, Orange Lutheran...an amazing artist, these songs touch your heart!!

  • I'm amazed that something so good was so hard to come by.
    author: Martha

    I heard a cut on Rescue Me, and was intrigued enough to look in local stores for the CD. I couldn't find it anywhere til I looked it up on tyrone's website and was referred to CDBaby. I couldn't believe that a CD of this quality would be so hard to find.

  • AMAZING!
    author: Jayme

    I think the CD is great! Tyrone has a unique, artistic style and inspiring beliefs. The fact that he can make incredibly touching music and uphold such strong morals is so rare in today's entertainment business! I love him and his music!

  • author: ~amanda~

    when i first got intruduced to tyrone, it was after he played at my school(cypress). my friend had seen him the year before and purchased his self titled album and i fell in love with his voice. I saw him perform songs from snapshot, i knew that i had to get that one too..my favorite song is wondering where you are. i see him every thursday at mcclains in fullerton and he's just a great person! he's so down to earth and humble. no other artist out there can compare to him in my eyes and opinion!

  • Amazing!
    author: Amanda

    I was lucky enough to spend a weekend with Tyrone up in Crestline this fall. We were at a college retreat and he played worship for us. He was of course great, and we were all like, ok this Tyrone guy is pretty cool. Then one night he held an impromptu concert for us. We were blown away! I still will always remember sitting there on the steps of the stage listening to him play. We all rushed him afterward and bought his CDs. My favorite on this one is Carolina Blues, but they are all good. He's got great range but still maintains beautiful control. And best of all, he's a genuine guy whose heart is as sweet as his lyrics. Support Tyrone, guys! By the way, he is filming his DVD at McClain's in Fullerton this Thursday...if you show up, you could be in the DVD! For more info go to www.tyronewells.com.

  • Fabulous CD! Tyrone is amazing!

    The definition of this cd is definitely pure ecstasy… I love every single song by Tyrone Wells and I can’t wait for his next joint to drop… I have to admit that I have my favorite tracks like 1 and 9… but every song in between is just as great… I have found very few cds that I can listen to without skipping over a track but this cd is one of the few that I completely love =)

  • Good Feeling

    I truely appreciate the music of Tyrone Wells. He is an artistic and creative lyricist. His confabulation are very soulful and he sings it with a mellifluous voice.

  • Tyrone Wells finds happy home in my disc collection
    author: Laura

    Snapshots is exactly that: an quick look into what Tyrone Wells can do as a singer. I'm a sucker for telling lyrics, and he has some of the most honest I've come across in awhile. I'd recommend this cd to anyone looking to hear some really deep and enriching music.

  • Absolutely mesmerizing! I get swept away every time I listen!
    author: Kimberly

    This is my first CD from Tyrone Wells. I heard the song When All is Said and Done on the FX show, Rescue Me, and was hooked. This entire CD is wonderful and I just love the voice, rhythm, lyrics, and soul in every song! I highly recommend this CD.

  • Fantastic, fell in love with his music
    author: Sally Forbes

    I heard his beautiful song at the ending of the new FX show Rescue Me (When all is said and done) and I purchased his CD for that song only and I am sure glad I did. what a wonderful cd. There isn't a song I didn't like.

  • Amazing...I love this CD
    author: Jay

    I heard one track on the show 'Rescue Me' and ordered this CD. The rest of the CD is equally as wonderful as the song that got me hooked. I love it...this is a great CD for people in love...or who want to be.

  • SMOOTHLY CRAFTED
    author: CHINASKI (www.cdbaby.com/cd/chinaski)

  • I picked my theme song for my wedding
    author: Rachel

    Sea breeze is the type of song that literally sends chills down your spine. In fact my fiance and I have chosen it to be the theme song of our wedding and I wish to play it when I walk down the isle. I just know it will bring tears to my man's eyes. Thank you Tyrone for sharing you talent with the world.

  • Holy Toledo... never fails to amaze me!
    author: Shannon

    Keeping it short, this is a great cd, a fabulous follow up to his debut. Its a very soulful mix of songs, with an obvious religious message in some. He's kept true to his very folk/gospel roots. I will say though, the version of "Sea Breeze" is a bit disappointing.. after the version on the True American Records Volume One. But all in all, if you're looking for a quality cd, with real substance, you will NOT regret purchasing this. I promise. And Tyrone, dude, come back to Seattle... jeez...

  • MUST SEE TYRONE LIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    author: courtney lobue

    I am taking a concert class at cypress, and tyrone was our special guest. I wasn't sure what to expect, but the second he opened his mouth, I was completely drawn in. Tyrone is so talented and makes you feel part of the music. If you don't have a copy, you must get one!!! This is a must have CD....keep up the good work, look forward to seeing you perform again in the future!

  • Great CD!
    author: Janice Anderson

    This is a great cd! Every song is wonderful. I love Carolina Blues and the bonus track, very personal.

  • Excellent Songs!
    author: Caroline Allen

    Just found out about Tyrone Wells and I had to get Snapshot, then the self-titled Tyrone Wells from 2001. His lyrics/music come from the heart and are universal. I love Fools Parade, Watchin' My World Walk By and Sea Breeze. I like the song with his family. I have sent at least 5 CDs to friends and family. Tyrone, come to Seattle!

  • author: Jason Griffice

    I like tyrone wells. He sings well and he looks good when he is surrounded by yellow. I like that "carolina blues" song, its tricky. You think its going to be about being sad in carolina, but oh no it isn't! I also like that first song a lot. I quote Martin Luther, "That sounds good."

  • amazing, need I say more
    author: Samantha Beckett

    Tyrone's passion for his music is evident in each and every song. WONDERING WHERE YOU ARE captures the youth and innocence that we all once felt...the song unlocks it from deep in our hearts. Tyrone's courage to write songs about his true beliefs stand clear in WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE. It is truly an amazing cd, fun and upbeat, from an extremely talented artist.

  • wow
    author: megan gentry

    this cd is wonderful. each time i listen to it, i find myself amazed that tyrone has managed to capture his emotions in such articulate ways. anyone will be able to relate to the things he sings about. the beautiful melodies and lyrics tug at your heart, sometimes making you want to cry, other times leave you smiling violently. i would recommend this cd to anyone. it is fantastic.

  • I'm Thinkin' Soundtrack
    author: David Clinkscales

    Snapshots is amazing - wonderfully diverse, richly blended with blues, rock and jazz tones throughout, and has a little something for everyone. I was picturing how these songs could come to life as I listened and could totally see them in a movie or tv soundtrack. Tyrone's voice (again) delivers a soul and strength to the intelligence of wonderfully truthful lyrics that can touch anyone, wherever you are. The secret track at the end says what you'll learn from the entire CD - Tyrone is an artist that's strong enough to be admired and real enough to be a friend, all of which makes Snapshots a must-have for any music collection.

  • Tyrone Rocks

    This CD shows how much Tyrone has put into his own life. The lyrics and music are proof of his excellence and gift of music. It is something I can play at work in my office for others to hear and ask about and I hope there is more to come after this one. Thanks Tyrone!
