The band
A little country.
A lot of harmony.
Cypress Fyre brings together Chris Rupp, Tyler Walls, and Jeff Grider, a vocal trio with roots in a cappella and a love for the country sounds of the ’90s.
Their music pairs close harmonies with a modern touch, from original songs on Open Road to familiar favorites and Christmas classics.
The band is no longer touring. Our songs, videos, and memories live on here. Discover Fusion below: our music-in-schools program built around play, creativity, and connection.

Fusion by Cypress Fyre is an interactive, arts-integrated workshop series that helps students explore who they are through music, movement, and collaboration.
In a supportive space, learners try new skills, practice listening, express emotions, and create something together. The focus is confidence, empathy, communication, and a stronger sense of belonging.

Try something new.
Rhythm, body percussion, vocal sounds, and beatboxing invite creative risks. Learners practice active listening, improvisation, and encouraging one another.

Make it together.
Students explore how music shapes emotion, brainstorm lyrics, add movement, and perform a song they’ve created as a group.
