Tyler Ritter is a musician who brings new meaning to the term 'obscure.' He lives in Portland, OR working at a local chain of Thai restaurants as a food runner/busser/host. He passes his time as most struggling musicians do making demo cds and sending them into a dark void from whence they shall never return and are not likely to be listened to and emailing and calling club owners repeatedly and never hearing back from them. He writes sporadically and rarely lets anyone see it because he's such a damned perfectionist that he's never happy with what he's written and if he is it's usually too personal to show anyone anyway.
