Rickie Lee Tanner January 16, 2010

Rickie Lee Tanner is known for his high energy performances that can only be rivaled by the likes of Garth Brooks and Jerry Lee Lewis. Rickie Lee Tanner is an entertainer. He believes that the crowd comes to see a “show” and give his all every night to make sure that everyone leaves with a smile on their face. He truly is an original.

Rickie Lee is more than just a singer. He is an accomplished songwriter and musician. He has won numerous singing and songwriting competitions. He has also made an impressive showing in contests such as Nashville Star, and the Colgate Country Showdown where he was a state finalist. Rickie has performed on television shows like Smart Country and Nashville On Stage. He has played on stages of all sizes while touring as a regional act, and has opened for many national performers as well.

His music really fits no genre. He has a country boy look with a rock and roll flair to his music. He is Americana through and through, and Americana can only be defined as the music of the people. If compared to similar musicians, you might describe him as a John Mellencamp, Bruce Springsteen, or a Tim McGraw.

Rickie Lee Tanner is a Missouri native. He grew up in Belton, Missouri, a suburb of Kansas City, and currently resides just outside of Washington, Missouri. Currently, Rickie is touring the Midwest to promote the debut single off of his new album, the title track, Fast Lane.

Three things matter most to Rickie Lee, God, country, and family. It is his sincere desire to support all of these things through song. If you haven’t had the chance to see him perform, don’t wait another second. It is the opportunity of a lifetime that you won’t soon forget.
