Dan Tennant: High-Energy Michigan Songwriting
Dan Tennant is a banjo-wielding songwriter hailing from Southeast Michigan. Whether performing solo or as a member of The Slouches and The Wheat & The Weeds, Tennant is known for a high-octane delivery that bridges the gap between traditional bluegrass and the raw urgency of punk.
Tennant fuses a love for fast, melodic storytelling with deep-rooted life experience, crafting songs that are as sincere as they are spirited. A veteran of the Michigan music scene—with previous stints in The Salt Miners and The Doornails—he has brought his craft to iconic stages including the Wheatland Music Festival, the Nor-East’r Music & Art Festival, and Detroit’s historic Cliff Bell’s.
