Tanner Bingaman is a songwriter, multi-instrumentalist (guitar/banjo/harmonica), poet, and producer from rural Pennsylvania who spends his time foraging writhing folk art from the hills of Appalachia. He prefers barefoot walking and once saved the family dog from a rattlesnake. Tanner's debut record, “Everything & Nothing” by Tanner Bingaman's Pretty Big Garden is now streaming everywhere and available on limited edition vinyl, CD, and cassette. The album explores sonic territory from raw field recordings to polished pop gems, pulling from a wealth of influences spanning indie-folk to ambient to Indian classical, featuring a wild range of tonalities and instrumentation. Think Pinegrove meets Tyler Childers with a touch of Bela Fleck and the Flecktones; the sound of writhing folk forged from Appalachian mud.
Phillips Saylor Wisor - aka STRIPMALL BALLADS - is a Maryland-based rollicking musical rambler, rife with story-songs rich in emotion and hardihood. His brand of folk music sings the heartbreaking ballads of old brick buildings, vacant lots, and rustbelt towns. Of third shift papas, flood plains, and long drives through nowhere towns. He’s boots on the ground, guitar across the body, ever observing the ugly mundane mixed with the beautiful chaos of this place we trample upon on the daily.
He’s shared stages with Tommy Price, John R. Miller, Danny Barnes, Les Claypool, The Be Good Tanyas, Willy Tea Taylor, just to name a few. In his early days, Wisor found comfort in DC’s encampments searching for validation in the gritty corners of tucked away spaces. Where street people applauded and encouraged as he picked away, a rustling sound of Americana and folk, with boozed-up night chatter for background noise.
