Ty Warner’s ‘Connor’s Crawl’ Instrumental a Family Affair
Ty Warner — songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, Air Force veteran, and one of our most loyal UnderDogs — is in the flow of releasing music, with several singles and a full EP on tap for 2026.
Warner’s first offering of the year, “Connor’s Crawl,” was released on March 24. The tune marks previously uncharted territory for Warner, as it is the first song he’s released that is entirely instrumental.
“I find instrumental music in general to be incredibly inspiring and emotional in and of itself,” Warner told the Wyoming Tribune Eagle (Cheyenne, WY). “That’s the journey I’m on right now … I’m going to move towards (releasing) instrumentals.”
Inspired by the jazz artist Earl Klugh, Warner composed and recorded “Connor’s Crawl” on two nylon string guitars. Additional instrumentation was added by esteemed New York-based producer Bryan Crook, who mixed and mastered the track after it was recorded by Vante Anderson at Wyoming Wave Studios. The song does feature some vocal instrumentation, as well, with background vocals performed by Asha Sun.
As for the inspiration behind the name? Warner named “Connor’s Crawl” after his precocious young grandson, Connor, who also created the artwork for the release.
Those looking for more new music won’t have to wait long. This week, Warner announced a follow-up single titled “What We Can’t Say,” set for release on Tuesday, May 19. From there, more singles are coming down the pipeline in the lead-up to My Songbook — Volume 1, set for release later this summer.
