THE SOMMELIER OF SOUND.
Philadelphia Roots. Sonoma Soul.
Juke Tannins is what happens when you take a veteran East Coast musician, arm him with a curated vault of American music, and drop him in the middle of Wine Country.
With over 35 years of live performance experience—from the dive bars of Philadelphia to the tasting rooms of Santa Rosa—Juke isn’t just a "guy with a guitar." He is a musical historian and a master of reading the room.
The Philosophy: "The Analog Aesthetic"
Juke is a self-contained professional who believes that screens create a barrier between the artist and the audience. He performs entirely from memory—no iPads, no music stands, no backing tracks. Just a raw, engaging connection with the room.
The "Vibe" Menu
Juke specializes in curating the perfect soundtrack for the moment. He treats the setlist like a wine pairing: serving up exactly what the audience needs, right when they need it.
The Sunday Sippers: For a mellow afternoon on the patio, Juke leans into the "Coastal Noir" sound—Bossa Nova, smooth Folk, and jazzy standards (Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sade).
The Saturday Night: When the energy is up, he shifts gears into "Record Store" mode—Classic Rock, Outlaw Country, and 80s/90s New Wave/Pop and Alternative.
The Songwriter: For listening rooms, he strips it down to choice covers and his original "Case Files"—story-driven songs about the American condition.
The Repertoire
The Stats: Over 500 covers committed to memory.
The Range: From Prine to Prince. Little Feat to Lana Del Rey. Beatles, Stones, Motown, and the "One Hit Wonders" you forgot you loved.
The Originals: A deep catalog of acclaimed original songwriting that captures the grit of the road and the odd, weird beauty of American life.
Specialty Sets:
Available for Wineries, Breweries, Corporate Events, and Private House Concerts. Juke can also curate specific themes like 80s New Wave, Acoustic Karaoke, or Artist Tributes (Beatles vs. Stones, Petty Deep Cuts).
THE COMPLETE PACKAGE.
Juke cut his teeth in the East Coast music scene, playing in original bands and cover outfits since the age of 14. That lifetime of experience means he brings serious guitar chops to the table—capable of blistering leads, intricate fingerpicking, or holding down a rock-solid rhythm.
But Juke is more than just a musician; he is also a screenwriter. He brings a cinematic eye to every performance, treating each song like a scene in a movie and every setlist like a narrative arc. When you book Juke Tannins, you aren’t just getting background noise; you are getting a seasoned storyteller, a master guitarist, and a "Human Jukebox" who knows exactly how to soundtrack your room.
One guy. Six strings. Pure atmosphere.
