Artist Spotlight: Tyrone Sanborn Webster

Austin based musician and songwriter Tyrone Sanborn Webster took some time over the past year from behind the drum kit to write and record his own songs.

Harnessing his creative background in writing and performing with the Austin art-rock band Desilu, Webster says he has “decided to take a minimalist approach” to his own music.

Armed with an acoustic guitar and his vocals, Webster took his life experience and influences and crafted and molded them into a universal sound with a message to others: “pick up your guitar and simply write from the soul.”

He recently dropped a three-track E.P., Surface, featuring emotive songs with high vocal registers on tracks like the tumbling, “Change Your Mind” and the booming, melancholic, “Out in the World.”

Another track that would have been cool on the E.P. is his latest song, “Jesus Skin.”

Recording from home, Webster captures simple melodies and rhythms blended with captivating acoustic progressions, embodying a haunting sound that resonates through his bass notes, keys and strings.
