Tanner Patrick

Texas' Tanner Patrick is an emotive singer/songwriter known for his largely acoustic-based, emo-influenced pop. Born in Los Angeles in 1991, Patrick moved to Dallas with his family around age four. Interested in music from a young age, he first began playing guitar at age ten after receiving one as a Christmas gift. He soon began recording his own songs at home and by age 17 had formed his first band, Disco Curtis. They signed with MySpace/Interscope and drew favorable attention playing the Vans Warped Tour, as well as opening slots alongside Forever the Sickest Kids, Boys Like Girls, and others. After Disco Curtis parted ways in 2010, Patrick relocated to Los Angeles and began pursuing a solo career. He released several singles before debuting his full-length album, The Waiting Home, in 2014. ~ Matt Collar
