His love for authentic storytelling guided Tanner to be influenced by artists like Tyler Childers, Keith Whitley, and Turnpike Troubadours. His admiration for outdoorsmanship along with time spent performing at bars and rodeos has led him to be known for writing songs about fishing/hunting and honky-tonk songs you can drink & dance to. In 2024, the Missoula-based group Tanner Laws Band was formed and they hit the road running, winning “Missoula’s Best New Band” their first year playing together!
