Hundred Year Garden
Bruce Tanton is the kind of man who knows everyone in town within a week of arriving — and means it. He hugs danger, shakes hands with strangers, and has never once decided someone wasn't worth knowing. People feel a little more interesting around him, because he genuinely finds them so.
That same warmth is the engine of his music. For twenty-five years he's been writing and composing songs — not for a crowd, but because a feeling needed a home. His songs aren't his life: they're rooms he builds so a feeling has somewhere to live. He taught himself guitar in a basement, dreams them up on long back roads with no radio signal, and leaves a little mystery in every story. The humor always sits right next to the heartbreak, the way it does in a life fully lived.
Now, for the first time, he's bringing these songs to life the way he always heard them in his head. The Hundred Year Garden is the first of them — country rock at heart, like most of what he writes: a comedy, a crime, a confession, a tragedy, and a quiet hymn to starting over, with more on the way.
