Tanner Bingaman

Songwriter, multi-instrumentalist (banjo, guitar, harmonica), poet, producer, and visual artist Tanner Bingaman spends his days foraging folk art from the hills of Appalachia. He spent nearly a decade working mostly in solitude as a farmhand in rural Pennsylvania before hitting the road full time. Tanner prefers barefoot walking and once saved the family dog from a rattlesnake.

Tanner performs and releases music under the moniker Tanner Bingaman's Pretty Big Garden, exploring sonic territory from raw field recordings to polished pop gems, pulling from a wealth of influences spanning indie to old-time to ambient to Indian classical, and featuring a wild range of tonalities and instrumentation. Think Pinegrove meets Tyler Childers with a touch of Béla Fleck and the Flecktones; the sound of writhing folk forged from Appalachian mud.

Tanner has been featured on NPR stations throughout the U.S., is a three- time artist-in-residence at the prestigious Avaloch Farm Music Institute (Boscawen, NH), and is an upcoming artist-in- residence at the Volland Foundation (Flint Hills, KS). In 2021, Tanner was awarded Emerging Artist of the Year by the Susquehanna Folk Music Society. In 2024, Tanner released the first full- length album from Tanner Bingaman's Pretty Big Garden, Everything & Nothing. In both 2025 and 2026, Tanner toured nearly five months straight from the East Coast to the South to Western Canada and down the West Coast, playing co-billed shows with friend and bilingual Cajun songwriter Dustin Dale Gaspard. In the former year, Tanner Bingaman's Pretty Big Garden was awarded Best Americana Artist by the Central Pennsylvania Music Hall of Fame.

The sophomore album from Tanner Bingaman’s Pretty Big Garden, Jubilee! is due out late 2026 via Heady Wax Fiends, indie record stores, and Tanner's own online store.
