Tyler Bryce, an Emmy Award-winning impersonator, is set to bring a unique musical experience to Heber City, Utah, on January 9 at 7:30 p.m. at the Ideal Playhouse. Bryce's upcoming performance promises to be a whirlwind journey through the history of music, showcasing impressions of over 100 musicians in a 90-minute, high-energy spectacle that blends comedy, singing, and theatrical impersonations. With a career that spans years and experiences that have shaped his craft, Bryce aims to deliver an unforgettable night for attendees, mixing nostalgia with laughter and live entertainment. Bryce’s show, which he describes as "like a bunch of your favorite artists in a blender," features his impressive vocal range and a variety of costumes that help him embody the legends he impersonates. From Louis Armstrong to Elvis Presley, Celine Dion to Bruno Mars, and even Kermit the Frog, Bryce utilizes both his voice and physicality to create a dynamic performance. "I’ll do an impression of someone and do part of a song, but I’ll change all the words to make it funny," he explained, outlining his blend of humor and musical talent. His commitment to each character is evident in the way he employs props like hats and sunglasses to enhance the visual aspect of his impersonations. Born and raised in Southern California, Bryce was immersed in music from an early age. His father and five uncles formed the acapella group SIX, which has gained recognition in Branson, Missouri. Growing up in this musical environment, he found his initial inspiration and began honing his skills as a sound engineer while also developing his abilities on the guitar and piano. Bryce’s first foray into impersonation was a playful act for his classmates that laid the groundwork for his future career in entertainment. "My dad always supported me, but he also warned me about the challenges of making a living in music," Bryce recalled. "He encouraged me to combine my talents and become an entertainer. After years of trying to find my niche in the industry, I realized he was right." In 2014, Bryce took his talents to the high seas, performing on cruise ships with Holland America and Princess, which allowed him to refine his skills on a global stage. After spending a decade performing on ships, he relocated to Provo, Utah, in 2025. "Cruising gave me invaluable stage experience," he reflected. "When I started, I was enthusiastic but perhaps a bit over the top. Now, I feel more connected to my performances, making them more enjoyable for the audience." The upcoming Ideal Playhouse show marks Bryce’s second performance in Utah after a successful set at a Utah County singles conference last summer. "I did about 50 minutes, and the response was phenomenal—three standing ovations," he said, emphasizing the warm reception he received from the audience. This experience ignited a desire to return to Utah for more performances, showcasing his ability to connect with local audiences. Bryce's artistic journey has also included collaboration with the trio Beautiful Kingdom, leading to recognition for their documentary "Where Love Takes the Lead," which explores the band's origins and relationships. The documentary earned Bryce an Emmy Award, a testament to his multifaceted talent and dedication to his craft. "We were excited to work with an Emmy-winning director," he noted. "Winning the Emmy was a surprise and an honor." As a performer, Bryce has found a community of fellow musicians in Utah and often attends shows at local venues like Velour in Provo, which he describes as a "robust scene" for indie artists. He believes the area is experiencing a musical renaissance, with an exciting atmosphere for original music that sets it apart from other regions. "There’s a unique energy in Utah’s music scene that I think will lead to great things in the future," he commented. Bryce’s ability to transform into various characters during his performances creates an engaging experience that captivates audiences. He likens his craft to that of a magician, using impressions as a form of illusion that transports viewers into a different reality. "The impressions are like the ultimate illusion," he explained. "It’s one thing to hear someone do an impression, but watching someone embody those characters adds a whole new layer to the experience." Tickets for Bryce’s performance at the Ideal Playhouse range from $29 to $36 and can be purchased at HeberValleyEntertainment.com. As anticipation builds for the show, local residents and visitors alike look forward to an evening filled with laughter, nostalgia, and an impressive showcase of musical talent. In summary, Tyler Bryce's show promises to be a unique blend of comedy and music, offering a chance to experience over a century of musical history through the eyes of a talented impressionist. With his engaging personality and dedication to his craft, Bryce is sure to deliver a memorable experience for all attendees at the Ideal Playhouse in Heber City.
