Tyler got his first guitar freshman year and started playing in punk rock and hard core bands. During this time he was writing his own songs on acoustic guitar and looking for someone to sing them. When he couldn't find a singer he decided to fill the role himself. "I never considered myself a singer" Hentschel Says, "and when I first started, I wasn't! My junior year I played at a school assembly in front of a couple hundred people. I did three of my songs, and looking back, that was the boldest thing I have done up to that point because I was terrible!" Junior year he was playing as "The Tyler Hentschel Band" and soon changed the name to "Insomniac Folklore". He continued to play music locally and worked as a courtesy clerk at a grocery store and also as a janitor until his touring career began in 2003.
Tyler was married to Adrienne Michelle Curry in 2011.
He has also lived in Portland, OR and St Louis, MO.
