The Scranton Cultural Center at the Masonic Temple is excited to introduce Jazz in the Hood Room with Tyler Dempsey!

Each month, we welcome NEPA’s diverse jazz audiences to join us as we present live jazz performances from the finest local, regional and nationally renowned artists. Hosted by Tyler Dempsey on the third Tuesday of each month, he will feature revolving artists from NYC, NJ, Poconos and Delaware Water Gap.

Tyler began studying classical percussion privately at a local university and recognized his overwhelming passion for jazz music. He decided it was time to seriously pursue the artform and began jazz studies with renowned jazz musician and organizer of the Scranton Jazz Festival, Marko Marcinko. Tyler then went on to study with Tim Horner and Mark Sherman at New Jersey City University. While living in New Jersey he began performing with his own groups in numerous NYC venues. He later transferred to Penn State University, where his musical growth continued through the instruction and guidance of Ian Froman, David Liebman, Bill Goodwin, and Adam Nussbaum to name a few.

Tyler has performed with many great artists including but not limited to: David
Liebman, Bob Dorough, Chase Baird, Joe Magnarelli, Joe Locke, Billy Test, Matt
Vashlishan, Clarence Spady, Jon Ballantyne, Adam Niewood, Tony Marino, Jim Ridl, Nate Birkey, Bill Washer, Ron Oswanski, and Porter & Sayles. In 2013-14, Tyler had the opportunity to play with the Jesse Lynch Trio on their nation-wide Jazz 101 educational tour.
