Sat, Mar 5th , 8-10pm, Concert – Alberta's Tanner James - folk & country
I learned to write songs on a beach in Maryland when I was twenty-years-old. I was sleeping in a hammock in the woods on the edge of town trying to make a girl fall in love with me. Busking for change on a boardwalk on the beach will almost certainly put words in your mouth. Riding horses and driving tractors in Southern Alberta was my childhood. I was a farm boy and I spent my days wandering with my dog, humming the songs I heard on the a.m. radio. My grandpa could spin a story out of anything and I hung off of his every word. He taught me how to do the same. I started an indie rock band and we were together five years. We had an old red van and we toured the country. I fell in love with every town and city we ever played in and every highway line we passed. My roots caught up to me as they often do as a person grows. I remembered all my time on the farm and all the stories my grandpa told. Folk and country music started to call my name. My name is Tanner James and I am a singer, a runner, a traveler, a dreamer, a troubadour and a guitar picker. Most of all - Iʼm a storyteller. This is my life now.
