about

After stumbling blocks too bizarre and numerous to mention here, Tavern Tan finally shambled back into the studio to record a long-anticipated release of new material, of which quick completion was unfortunately short-circuited by our horrible quarantined year of 2020. But, at last, here it is in 2021, Pilgrims, courtesy of the good people at Fez Monkey Records—the aptly titled "Tandemic"! It's another eclectic batch of Tavern Tuneage, this time recorded and produced at Shards Studio by our man in Southside Bethlehem, PA, Matt Molchany (Gertie Fox)! With a twin guitar attack and killer rhythm section accented by bluesy harmonica and wailin' sax—the first time recording with saxophonist/guitarist Kevin Nickles (Writhing Squares, Ecstatic Vision) and covering, or...er..bludgeoning a myriad of styles, this is another eclectic Tan release: rippin' alternative-style rock and blues, a li' bit o' R&B, a country shuffle or two, perhaps a goof on an American pop classic...in other words, anything with a little grit n' soul to it...the music that used to be standard in taverns, pubs, bars, juke joints, dancehalls, and the local dive in every town and city in America...before the Karaoke machine was created and the theme restaurants took their ugly hold. Please don't let them tear the old tavern down, they cried—so ask and ye shall receive: Tavern Tan is BACK!

about

Tavern Tan Allentown, Pennsylvania

Named for the sort of complexion you get from the neon nightly beer lights, Tavern Tan play what we call "Live American Music".
Formed in 2004, this is a sound that used to be standard in taverns, pubs, bars, juke joints, dancehalls, and the local dive in every town and city in America...the sound of eclectic, original roots music and rock n' roll....anything with a little grit n' soul to it.
