Cereus Bright

A lot has changed for Cereus Bright and for Tyler Anthony. As the band he founded a decade ago quietly wore down, the Knoxville, Tennessee-based songwriter took a step back from the project and re-evaluated his relationship with music. Deciding that the best path forward―if there was to be one at all―would be as a solo artist, pursuing a more fluid and personal version of creativity. Part of Anthony’s re-emergence as Cereus Bright involved removing himself from the rigors and valleys of professional musicianship, writing songs as he’d first done - in the margins.
