Last week, the bar hosted Monzie Leo, and this week they opened their doors to another one of Lawrence’s most beloved performers. The air was already full of electricity when Tyler Gregory started setting up his signature suitcase, where his tushie would remain firmly planted for the evening (and his boots would be pounding the box right under it).

With his glorious locks of golden hair and a full, healthy, and voluptuous beard, the performer with a heart of gold and a smile as wide as Mass Street emanated only the most heartwarming and pleasing sounds from his guitar. His vocals hollowed throughout the alleys of downtown, beckoning the game-day crowd to come in (you’ll notice some very excitable and happily-tipsy KU girls cutting a wild rug at about four and a half minutes into the first video).

Tyler Gregory is truly a national treasure.

Bonus video! Here’s T-Gregs performing an a capella number that made an entire crowd fall silent. Behold, the glory of his heavenly voice. The performance was so moving, you could almost see a halo forming above his head.
