about

Two years after the initial recording session and almost eight years after some of the songs were written, Tyson released his debut album "There’s Nothing We Can’t Pretend" in 2010.
The album features variety of musical influences encountered during time spent in the Caribbean, the USA and Tyson's homeland - New Zealand.
With funk, rock, jazz, blues, folk and world music elements the album is in Tyson's own words "...in many ways a compilation album – pages from my musical diary penned during the last half dozen years against various backdrops…”
Tyson in accompanied on the album by some of New Zealand's most well respected musical talents
All the material on the album was written and arranged by Tyson and recorded and mixed at Trident Studios in Wellington, New Zealand.
