It’s evident that every time Richard Tyler Epperson resurfaces with new material, he makes another evolutionary leap with his art and craft. Nearly ten years into his career as a professional independent artist, the Salt Lake City, Utah-based singer-songwriter has earned praise for his depth and heartfelt songwriting following multiple albums. Born into a family with a long musical history, Epperson learned to play the bass and keyboard in his youth, and with ambitions to pursue a career as a musician already well-ingrained, he recorded all of the instruments (minus drums) on his first album himself. He wasted no time in pursuing solo gigs to perfect his live and acoustic acts, earning him appearances in local radio, TV stations, and festivals. For a solo artist who has created every song from scratch in a DIY fashion, the outcomes are impressively produced. Cumulatively, his work shows a committed artist who has put his heart and soul into each track. Garnering a top spot in Music Connection Magazine’s Top 25 Unsigned Artists of 2021, Epperson is entering a new peak in his career, with his most recent releases tapping into timeless honesty and showcasing true talent for writing powerful songs that mix substance and flair with deep sentiment. Following the release of his fourth album, “A Wandering Mind,” at the start of 2023, Epperson is currently writing and recording his 5th album due out in 2024. Today, we’re excited to dive into Epperson’s newest single, “Another Day” (A Wandering Mind Mix). This moving meditation on depression, regret, and ultimately, resilience, was written during a time of personal turmoil. Its deeply relatable lyrics read like diary entries, as the Utah songwriter fearlessly explores the bleakest parts of his mind. Despite its difficult subject matter, “Another Day” offers a cathartic and even inspirational listening experience, thanks to Epperson’s sensitive vocal performance and the ethereal soundscapes surrounding the song. The track holds a double meaning, as Epperson explains: “The line ‘another day’ has a bit of a double meaning. Throughout most of the song, it reflects how you just can’t take another day while being stuck in a bad place with depression and anxiety. However, the song ends with how you’ve got to fake/fight through these types of days for a chance at another day, in hopes it will be better.” Throughout the course of his career, Epperson has developed a particularly honest connection between himself, his audience, and his music. With “Another Day” (A Wandering Mind Mix), he takes this connection to a whole new level, baring his soul and inviting listeners to join him on an intimate journey through his innermost thoughts and emotions. As Richard Tyler Epperson embarks on the most exciting chapter of his career so far, we are honored to witness his growth and artistic evolution. “Another Day” promises to be a powerful addition to his discography, reflecting not only his talent as a songwriter and musician but also his resilience in confronting and expressing the complexities of the human experience. Join us in celebrating the release of “Another Day” (A Wandering Mind Mix) by Richard Tyler Epperson. This is an artist who continues to push boundaries, break barriers, and captivate our hearts with his profound and soul-stirring music.
