Singer/songwriter/guitarist/producer dctanner has been playing music in and around the Valley of the Sun for many years in bands such as The Arlie Hunt Blues Band, Next of Kin, Trilogy, Redline, Sleight of Hand, Flashback, Rock Bottom, dctanner and Friends, The Mojo Bombers, and the infamous Harry Cee and the Soulful Horizons Band, as well as being in demand for recording sessions and guest appearances. His innovative improvisational ability on guitar and outstanding vocal styling have made him one of the most electrifying artists performing in the Phoenix area, earning the nickname: "The Guitarist From Hell."
dct is working on his own solo CD. It will be an exciting, eclectic mix of acoustic and electric sounds--creating an intense palette of music you will not want to miss. Whatever the genre, you can be sure the music will move, entertain, and delight you. dctanner enjoys sitting in regularly with various bands around the Valley, and continues to produce, mentor, and promote other talent in the Phoenix area.
David plays Fender, Ibanez, Schecter, Tacoma, and Seagull guitars. His guitars are set up by the great guys at Guitar Electronics (guitarelectronics.com), in Phoenix. They do excellent work. David uses Marshall, Peavey, and Line 6 amps. Many of his pedals are modded by the King of Modification--the one and only Mike Piera, Analog Man www.analogman.com. He is a wizard! If you want to see and hear one of the best guitarists/vocalists in the world (and one of the nicest people), visit my friend Tony Janflone, Jr.'s site, as well as his videos on YouTube. Tony is a guitarist from another planet! I have Tony's CD "Live at the Blues Cafe" and it smokes! His version of "Hey Joe" is absolutely the best I've ever heard--unbelievable--an instant classic! Order yours today. Some other tremendous guitarists I hope you visit are Pekka "LoDe" Loikkanen from Finland, Nicolás Figueroa from Chile, and my good friend Tom Mannion from Phoenix. My very close friend Michael Brahm is one of the best drummers you will ever hear, and no one looks as good as Chad MacDonald on stage or off! These young men are not only phenomenally talented, but great people as well. Hibiki Mika-san from Japan has a beautiful voice you will enjoy hearing. Also, my brother from another mother, Lashaun Tweedie is without a doubt the most outstanding keyboardist (and trumpet player) in the Valley of the Sun! And, if you don't do anything else today, stop by and say hello to my good friend Dave, at www.geezersoundco.com and check out some of the finest cabinets available in the world today. I am now the proud owner of three custom 2x12 cabinets (and a beautiful tweed 1x12) and happily, enthusiastically and wholeheartedly endorse all of the products produced by Geezer Sound Company!! They are terrific--whether as an extension, or as your main sound reinforcement. I get fabulous replication of the tones and innuendos that are my trademarks, and you will too. You won't find better-crafted cabinets anywhere! While you're at it, visit all of my friends from around the world. They will astonish you with their technical abilities, friendliness, and great musical talents. Thanks to everybody for your support and all of the kind words! I love you all!
