Nick Tann
I’m a singer/songwriter born and raised in London, now living near Southampton on the south coast of the UK.
My first memory of music was mixture of hymns and Stevie Wonder. My main instrument is a 12 string guitar that I have had since I was 18 years old although my first guitar was a tennis racket at age 3, so my mother tells me!
“The shadow of Glen Tilbrook in post Squeeze mode hangs occasionally around the periphery and the more introspective moments remind me of Colin Vearncome...”
I strive to create songs with emotion and honesty. My songs tell stories with a raw and soulful edge, meandering from the fragile to jazzy and from sad to joyful
“Songs meander between the fragile and wistful in the case of Love Lies to the ballsy, Americana rant of That Woman”
My influences reflect in my songs. Elvis Costello by way of Sting, Jeff Buckley and Stevie Wonder although people have often compared me to Nick Drake and John Martyn.
“Nick Tann, not only understands the power of a well-crafted tune, he also has the ability to make this basic concept a reality” Dave Franklin -- GreenMan Publications
