Matthew Tanner

Successfully combining lyrical substance with infectious melodies, Matthew Tanner is among those rare artists who achieve a unique brand of sound. His music has a Western flavor with a cross-over appeal, and his rich vocals reveal a depth beyond his years. Matthews sound has been compared with Johnny Cash, Tom Petty and Bob Segar. Matthew possesses a rare ability to write with great diversity around a broad category of subject matter. He skillfully explores topics of light and dark with great insight and sensitivity.
Matthew's songs have been placed on MTV's/ABC's Making The Band, Making The Band 2, and Road Rules, just to name a few. Born and raised in California, Matthew produces his sound at Fun House Music, with the talented guitarist/singer/songwriter/producer, Mark Hayes, and other incredible musicians such as slide guitar wizard, Chuck Kavooras, and the always groovy rhythms of drummer Luke Hayes, and bass guitarst David Chamberlain, and the incredible stylings of Bruce Hornsby's B3 organ and keybord player John "JT" Thomas. The sonic quality of Matthew's music is highly due to the skill of mixing engineer, Dave Jenkins.



It is only a matter of time until Tanner's music makes its way into popular American culture.
