Tyler Calkins-Marshmellow Overcoat
      "CLASSIC ROCK FOR TODAY"
 
In 2008, singer and songwriter Tyler Calkins set out to create a sound reflecting the songwriting techniques of the sixties and seventies, while also utilizing modern and contemporary rock aspects.  Tyler's unique rhythm guitar, piano, harmonica and vocals have made him one of the most sought-after performers in the Southern Tier.  With his band, Marshmellow Overcoat, Tyler has six albums under his belt (in addition to solo and side projects), including MMOC's latest album, "Ghost In the Doorway" featuring "Peace of Mind" and "I Can Still Remember."​
 
Marshmellow Overcoat features Alan Hancock (one of the area's best guitarists), Anthony Cavallaro (MMOC's drummer for nearly a decade), and Dave Verbocy (Tyler's long time friend and writing parter) alongside Tyler.  Based out of Bradford, Pennsylvania, Tyler & Marshmellow Overcoat have performed all over Pennsylvania and Western NY.  The band focuses on original music but loves putting its own twist on your favorite tunes.

-Stacey Zering, Ink 19
 
“The band is audibly sporting more roots than my local woods and sounds truly great for it."
