Event Navigation
Songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Tanner Bingaman plays writhing folk from the hills of Appalachia via guitar, banjo, & harmonica. Tanner’s songs are an everything-but-the-kitchen-sink gumbo, with explorations ranging from poignant punk melodies to rapturous and uncanny instrumental meditations, oftentimes finding himself perplexed by the task of coming down from yet another improvisational meandering. Tanner prefers barefoot walking and once saved the family dog from a rattlesnake.
Tanner has been happily featured on NPR stations throughout Pennsylvania, and he has shared stages with some of his favorite songwriters including Charlie Parr, Darrin Hacquard, and Sam Bailey. In 2021, Tanner was awarded Emerging Artist of the Year by the Susquehanna Folk Music Society, and in 2023, Tanner played his first international show with his New Zealand family of musicians (the Pakipakis), raising funds for flood-relief efforts on the North Island. He is currently playing shows all over the Lower 48, touring in support of the projects Tanjo & Crow and Tanner Bingaman’s Pretty Big Garden. The debut album, “Everything & Nothing” from Tanner Bingaman’s Pretty Big Garden is now available on limited edition vinyl, CD, cassette, and streaming everywhere.
