Tallan Noble Latz (aka: The T-Man) was born on September 22, 1999 to Carl and Doris Latz. Tallan had an immediate connection to the sound of music and how it effected his emotions. He seemed to be born to play music and has been doing so for most of his life.
Tallan received his first musical instrument, a drum set, when he was 3. At age 4 he received a small acoustic guitar. He would strap that guitar on and play for anyone that would sit and listen.
At the age of 5 Tallan asked for an electric guitar for Easter after watching a video of Joe Satriani. He had his choice between a guitar, a remote control boat or a new bike. He chose the guitar. The stipulation was that if he got the guitar he must take lessons and practice. He has done both every since and has never looked back!
Tallan has a real determination to improve his guitar playing skills. Tallan practices 2 - 3+ hours a day. Tallan has studied with many accomplished teachers, he also watches numerous instructional DVD’s and has become a student of his instrument. All the while he’s working towards becoming one of the best.
Tallan loves playing his guitar; he’s played before small groups of 15 to huge crowds of a couple thousand. Tallan has already performed at dozens of venues and festivals. He has had the opportunity to share the stage with hundreds of different musicians, some local musician, some regionally known, some nationally known and still others that are internationally known, all before the age of 8. You can find more about where and with whom Tallan has played with here.
In just a few short months, Tallan has created a huge stir in the SE WI and Northern IL. The buzz is all about this little kid playing with the big boys. They are all saying the same thing “You gotta see this!!!”.
Tallan has many musical influences that range across many genres of music from classical music to classic rock and from blues to country. Tallan’s list is an endless list but some of his major influences that he came up with are: Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix, Joe Bonamassa, Walter Trout, BB King, Buddy Guy, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Steve Miller, Eric Johnson, Led Zeppelin, Bon Jovi, Derek Trucks, Rush, Keith Urban, Craig Young, Collective Soul, Bach, Beethoven and the list goes on and on.
Tallan already has endorsement deals with these companies: Curt Mangan Strings, Morley Guitar pedals, Laney Amps and Dean Guitars. More endorsements are in the works right now.
Just recently, before his 8th birthday, Tallan has formed a band with some seasoned music veterans from the area. The name of the band took on Tallan’s nickname and is called T-Man’s Blues Project. They are already taking the music community by storm.
Tallan has many exciting things that are in the works for the remainder of year including going into the studio to put together a CD and many other things that he’ll be announcing shortly. Some of these announcements are major things for an adult let alone a now 8 year old. (source: http://www.pbase.com/soulfulimpressions/tallan_latz).
