Left Arm Tan

Left Arm Tan (LAT) - This is Texas driving music that carries you from the Hill Country, through the Rust Belt, on to California highways and back. Hang your arm out the window and nourish your soul. LAT, based in Fort Worth, Texas, is a band busy redefining Americana music. LAT writes songs that combine the sweet country harmonies of the Eagles, the blue collar ethic of Reckless Kelly, and the brainy lyrics of Wilco. What do the critics say? “ Anybody who tells you there’s no more good ideas for songs, that it’s all been done, this is proof they’re wrong, and that the talent evaluation process in American music is broken, because “Wish” should be a mega hit.” — Kyle ‘The Triggerman’ Coroneos, SavingCountryMusic.com “It's modern country music that understands that gloss is useless… the songwriting… would be right at home in heavy rotation on CMT.” - Preston Jones, Fort Worth Star Telegram LAT is a veritable powerhouse of Texas music, featuring frontman Brian Lee, Tim Manders on drums, Daniel Hines on guitar, Shawn Light on guitar, Mark Belding on steel/trumpet, and Joseph Lopez on bass. They have emerged to redefine the Alt-Country scene, staying true to universal lyrical themes and deep writing, never straying too far from the sweet strains of Texas Country, yet still able to rock with blue collar authority. It’s a rock band with pearl snap shirts. But while critics and fans seem to quickly understand LAT's recorded material, there’s much more to the story. Because you don’t really know LAT until you see a show… where the guitars crackle to life and the harmonies surround the audience. And it is live that Left Arm Tan becomes more than just a band…they become an approachable friend to the audience, but with a compelling vibe, purpose and swagger. And when you’re done soaking up the authentic vibe, you can roll down your window and drive home knowing that yet again the circle is unbroken. If you like drivin' music that nourishes the soul, welcome home. www.leftarmtan.com
