Renowned for his live shows, Tyler Ballgame’s music is built on strong melodic hooks and draws subtle inspiration from the 60s and 70s, blending nostalgia and undeniable songcraft. His voice truly sets him apart – Rough Trade Records’ co-managing directors Geoff Travis and Jeannette Lee say “Hearing Tyler Ballgame sing just reminds us of the tenderness that can exist within the most powerful framework of a human voice. Like Elvis, Roy Orbison or Harry Nilsson.”

Tyler’s stunning debut album ‘For the First Time, Again’ is out January 30th 2026. A bracing reminder of how great songs delivered by a gifted vocalist can move, captivate and inspire, it boasts 12 finely crafted tunes rooted in classic rock, indie and Americana. Ballgame’s infectious melodies draw the listener into a story, and his message of belief in one’s true self resonates deep and wide.

The album’s lead single, the rhapsodic Lennon-meets-Orbison ‘I Believe In Love’ is out now, alongside the previously released ‘Got a New Car.’
