Taner Remzi

Taner Remzi covers a lot of ground on one guitar. Retro classic rock, jazz standards, world music with Turkish and Spanish leanings, and his own classical arrangements. He builds medleys out of the artists people actually shout for: Neil Diamond, Dire Straits, Split Enz, Crowded House, Icehouse, Lennon, The Beatles, Bowie, The Who, Roxy Music, Coldplay. His own writing sits somewhere in alternative rock and adult contemporary. He describes himself as low key rather than an extrovert, which is honest and worth knowing, though the effort that goes into the sound and the organising is not low key at all. Expect some humour. Acoustic or electric, instrumental or sung, and he's been picking up piano as well.
