Tanner Kartes

Sometimes the country breeze can blow strange things in our direction. At high noon on a dark, December day, a gust tilted the band on their side. A lawless man blew towards them. A brewer by day, drifter by night. An old soul, but a young spirit. A beer bloated blues boy. A true mystic cowboy. Introducing: Tanner Kartes.
