“As a guest entertainer working with many different musicians, Tanner Schut is the drummer I am ALWAYS glad to see! His versatility, artistry, and ability to lock in are incredible. Whether he’s playing recognizable Nigel Olsen drum fills in my Elton John tribute or bringing his own voice to my original tunes, I can always count on it being a top notch performance.”
