Bio

Singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Tanner Carlton was raised in northern Virginia by a family of musicians. As a young teen, he learned guitar from his uncle and soon after formed From Coast To Skyline, his first band, a pop punk group that played local DIY shows in Warrenton, VA and performed at the legendary D.C. venue 9:30 Club. In college, at University of Mary Washington he co-fronted the alternative hip-hop trio Goody, digging into EDM, experimental beats and grooves, and the more soulful side of his voice. After college, Carlton recorded two solo records, Back of a Bottle Shop (2015) and Front of a Magazine (2016). For the latter, he assembled a group of backing musicians with whom he later formed the indie rock band The Bottle Shop. In 2018, the band released Spring Shack, a funk and folk infused rock album, and then broke up shortly after. To make Spring Shack, Carlton and his brother developed their own production chops which inspired the formation of their music and podcast label, Rixey Records. Carlton is also the drummer and co-vocalist in Americana band A.P. Project .
