Tannersville is: Scott Williams (lead vocals & guitar and composer); Bruce Eisenstein (lead guitar); Rich Louie (bass); Mike LaRocco (drums); with Laura Pagnani and Tina Pagnani on background vocals; Dorraine Scofield on backing vocals and violin; and Marji Zintz on backing vocals and occasional acoustic guitar. (For more on each of these folks, check out "Who's Who?" on the Tannersville website.)

Tannersville was formed at the foot of Hunter Mountain during the same time that Bob Dylan, The Band, and Van Morrison called the Catskills their home. Tannersville moved up to the mountain from Westchester, NY, in the early 1970's to an eight-bedroom farmhouse known as "The Pinecone" on historic Route 23A to work on material for a record deal. Along the way, they opened for such rock acts as J Geils and The Edgar Winter Group on their Frankenstein Tour.

Since then, the band has written and recorded five independent studio albums, streaming worldwide on all music platforms in a dozen countries (see the music page for links).

While Tannersville's music has been described as Americana, their arrangements have been compared to those of CSN&Y's, Brian Wilson's, and Elton John's arrangements. (That's from Spotify, and you know those "algorithms" can't be wrong!)

Here's what actual humans have said about Tannersville:

"Tannersville is a regional treasure...the band is TIGHT!" (John Burton, host of the radio show/pod "Home From Here," a top-10 globally ranked podcast, MX Cloud Radio)

"[Tannersville's sound is] totally timeless music...they can win over an audience very quickly. The music has the feel of an era...like you've known it forever." (Janna Wallack-Cohen Kowan, Author of "The Naked Girl.)
