About Me

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, Rock Bottom, Last Shot of Blues, dctanner and Friends, Harry Cee and the Soulful Horizons Band, and Flashback, as well as being in demand for recording sessions. 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."dctanner is currently working with songwriter/vocalist Jamie Vaughn on original material to be out on CD in the next little while. Jamie is a master storyteller and this will be as enjoyable to listen to as it will be to record! Jamie and David are also out performing with bass player Patrick Conner and percussionist Stan Hovel, in Flashback--a classic rock band. Check out our website from the link below.dct is working on his own solo CD, to be out soon. 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, Gibson, Epiphone, 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. You can check out his creations @ www.analogman.com. He is a wizard! If you want to see one of the best guitarists 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. Two other tremendous guitarists I hope you visit are Pekka "LoDe" Loikkanen from Finland and Nicolás Figueroa from Chile. These two are not only phenomenally talented, but great people as well. 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 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 trademark, 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 astound you with their technical abilities, friendliness, and great music. Thanks to everybody for your support! I love you all!
