On top of a solid back line of drums, bass and guitar Tanju is giventhe ability to front, wander around with guitar and vocals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I got to admit though that this condensed form somewhat works best for me, for the surprisingly rather low number of folks on this friday around me it seemed to work too: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Plenty of applause!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next The Sleeveens from Nashville, Tennessee.

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Seeing an interview with Stef on the Internet (<em>damn Internet, never forgets<\/em>) it looks like he is also very self-aware and has a solid reflection on being a touring musician:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right is-style-text-annotation is-style-text-annotation--1 wp-block-paragraph\">It all sounds very glamorous, but the reality of <br>being a
