Bio: Tanner Burch’s journey to country music stardom is one of resilience and reinvention. An All-American Middle Linebacker at Gardner Webb, Tanner dreamed of playing professionally until a knee injury derailed his CFL tryout. After college, he pursued various careers, including medical sales, bartending, gym management, and even working as a carpenter and hibachi chef, but nothing truly stuck. It wasn’t until his grandmother’s passing, when he inherited her 1985 Ibanez guitar, that he found his true calling—learning to play and write music.

In June 2021, the tragic loss of his brother propelled Tanner to sell his belongings and hit the road. He lived out of his 2006 Toyota Tundra, playing small towns and dive bars across the country. His music, shaped by heartache, love, and the struggles of life, began to resonate with audiences. In 2023, Tanner recorded his debut EP Rugged Soul in the backcountry of South Pittsburgh, TN, while getting sober—a project that propelled him to Nashville, where his career began to take off.

Now a staple in Nashville’s honky-tonk scene, Tanner regularly performs at legendary venues like Layla’s Honkytonk and has been featured in top country showcases such as Honky Tonk Tuesday and Whiskey Jam. He has shared the stage with artists like Hannah Dasher, Them Dirty Roses, and Jesse Daniel, and played iconic spots like the Broken Spoke in Texas. Tanner is currently working on a new 8-song EP that blends classic outlaw country with a modern touch, solidifying his place in the Nashville music scene.
