Tanner Walle is a 29-year-old bartender from Kansas who relocated to Brooklyn six years ago. He is also a musician playing the singer-songwriter circuit with his backing band. Walle has toured the United States promoting his four CDs and came to Bowery Electric tonight.
If there is an unwritten rule that singer-songwriters are supposed to be all somber and not smile, if there is an unwritten expectation that singer-songwriters should not write catchy, upbeat songs, then Tanner Walle has broken some stereotypes. Backed by a four-piece band at Bowery Electric tonight, Walle performed the kind of songs one expects to hear on summer radio. Walle sang a bit like Nils Lofgren, a bit like Sting, and had a good time with his music.
