About

My name is Tanner Brethorst and I'm the banjo player from the Minnesota old time group, The Dust Settlers. I've been playing banjo for many years and I have learned a lot of tricks of the trade. I've gone on many tours around the country playing old time clawhammer banjo and I've played numerous festivals, such as, Boats and Bluegrass, Bonfire etc. I've recently recorded an album with my duo that was released in December of 2017 entitled,"Who Will Sing My Song".

I would like to be able to get to know the person on the other end and see exactly what they would like to get out of their instrument. If he or she has any prior experience in the music field. We would take a very hands on approach to learning the instrument.
