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.  Having achieved his Masters degree in Performance from Pennsylvania State University as well as a PhD in Music Education at age 30,  Tyler's unique rhythm guitar, piano, harmonica and vocals have made him one of the most sought-after performers in the Southern Tier.
​ 
Marshmellow Overcoat features Alan Hancock (one of the area's best guitarists), Anthony Cavallaro (MMOC's drummer for nearly a decade), and Dave Verbocy 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. 
Tyler Calkins, Dave Verbocy, Alan Hancock and Anthony Cavallaro at Mammoth Recording Studio in Buffalo, NY, 12/8/18.

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