Words by Carson Rich

Ty Love is a local singer from Callahan who is eager to put his name on the map. Growing up listening to country and alternative music inspired him, and now he is looking to take his talent to the next level. When he was young, his father was friends with a security guard for the Zac Brown Band, which led to him meeting the members of the band and growing his love for music even more. From then on he began taking requests for anything from concerts to funerals. His family members are his biggest fans, and they support him through it all.

Love is always looking for new ways to grab people’s attention. Even during his interview with “Folio,” he pulled out his guitar and started ripping it, playing both old and new country ballads, like “Something in the Orange” by Zach Bryan, with his mother standing on the side admiring his powerhouse of a voice. At the Clay County Fair Star Search competition, he performed his own version of “Hurricane’’ by Band of Heathens. He is looking to play at the Suwannee River Jam later this year and, he said, is pretty much open to doing whatever gigs come his way. Ultimately, Love hopes to become big as a singer-songwriter.
