Tyler Ramsey – who is best known for his former role as lead guitarist in Band of Horses – has announced his fourth solo LP, dubbed For The Morning.

The new album is slated for an April 5 release, and according to Ramsey, it was inspired by several factors.

“This album came about in the midst of a lot of change,” the musician explained via press release. “The birth of my daughter, a move to the country, and the steady realization that I needed to switch the road I was on in my life as a musician and songwriter. I tried to express and balance images of life as a constantly traveling and touring musician with the more connected life I live at home and the time I spend hiking in the mountains where I live.”

Ramsey will also hit the road this winter/spring in support of the new release, making stops at major events like SXSW as well as big cities like New Orleans, Nashville, New York, Philadelphia and more.
