Real Face is Andrew & Lillian Tyson; two eternal homies hailing from Nashville, TN. Andrew plays acoustic guitar, Lillian plays saxophone, and they both sing earnest songs about their life: the bikes they ride, the friends they love, the jokes they share, and the encounters with God. At first glance Real Face is an adorable couple who can rip a gig, but look a little closer and you'll see two fellas who love building community through live music.

Though this is the current and best form of Real Face, the band has taken a few shapes since its origin in 2018. Starting from Andrew’s college dorm room in Beaver Falls, PA, he wrote and recorded the debut EP Humanities 103 (2018). The songs were written before Real Face was even the official name. Andrew just had songs he needed to make to process his experience and then friends Taylor Moore and Samuel Schmidt suggested calling the band Real Face. That name was a no brainer yes for Andrew.

Real Face played their first show at Angst Fest @ Geneva College in Spring 2018. He was surprised to find how life giving the whole experience was so he kept playing shows in the greater Pittsburgh area. The first line up was with friends Matty P on bass, David Daniel Parker on guitar, and Dylly K and Chris Tyson on drums. They even went on a week long tour playing shows in Pennsylvania, Indiana, and Illinois. An especially memorable festival they played was in 2020 at Winter Wind Down fest in Williamsport, PA where they played with artists Chris Bernstorf, Nathan K., Kept On Hold and many others!
