A sophisticated guitarist, Ty Mares is known for his illustrative blues solos, characterized by colorful chord progressions, and his distinctive vocal style. As an original artist, Mares fuses every genre from R&B to pop, as well as a vast array of rock, all wrapped up in the whirlwind of jam.
Originally from Denver, Colorado, Ty Mares was raised in a military family, and attributes his worldliness, adaptability, and work ethic to the constant traveling he did growing up. From the age of 13, Mares has studied under principal pianists and jazz guitarists before spending some time studying at Berklee College of Music. No amount of study, however, compares to the time he has spent improvising on stage with Cosmic Jerry Band.
For the last decade, he’s made a name for himself all along the Jersey Shore and surrounding cities as a force to be reckoned with on the guitar.
He’s shared the stage with members of Dark Star Orchestra, the Fugees, and Dogs in a Pile, to name a few.
