About Me

It's entertaining, with pretty decent production values, and will be enjoyed by all who like "intelligent" music and a little bit of fun too! (Hey... It's optional entertainment at best. Who am I kidding?!!)Fans of The Beatles, Belle And Sebastian, Elliott Smith, Ben Folds and Frank Zappa (!) will enjoy the off-beat melodicism of Ian Tanner's music. All songs written, arranged, performed, endorsed, and catered by Ian Tanner!And now friends, you can actually enjoy the afore-mentioned Ian Tanner Podcast Nightmare episodes RIGHT HERE from the MYSPACE universe!!
