Even though Ty tends to be on the shy side, he can hold his own just fine with a mike and a set of drumsticks. In addition to playing the drums, he sings backup, and has been known to chase Jessa off her stool and have a jam session with the guys.

Ty's been playing drums since a basketball accident in junior high (half his life ago). He married his high school sweetheart right after graduation, but divorced her just last year.

*Good riddance to bad blood I say*

Speaking of bad, Ty recently married a wonderful girl. What does one have to do with the other? Well, Bad Betti, as she's affectionately known, has been the making of our Ty. And if you don't believe me, just ask him.

Whoever said, opposites attract, wasn't kidding *g*

His musical influences include Travis Tritt, Alan Jackson, Lynyrd Skynyrd and ZZ Top (don't ask).
