Tallan Latz

When I was looking for talents for my blog I found this guy in youtube. Tallan Latz, who was born in Elkhorn, Wisconsin USA, is probably about 11 years old now but he started playing guitar when he was 5 and he got booked for shows already when he was 8. He plays the guitar better than anyone I've ever seen including me;) I just started playing but I don't think I will ever be as good as he is an he is 6 years younger than me. Unbelievable what he can do and you can see in the way he plays that he puts his soul into it and that he loves playing guitar more than anything else in the world and that's what makes him so good. In 2009 he auditioned for Amercia's Got Talent and the jury and the audience were amazed by him. He must be born with this talent because he plays better than some famous rockstars.
here are some videos from him when he was 8 and 9 years old :

TALLAN LATZ BRILLIANT BUSY BLUES BOY

Of all the talent that I’m privileged to write about I especially enjoy keeping you up to date about my young friend Tallan Latz!

Tallan is not only an exceptionally talented musician and guitarist but also a great young personality who is able to jam with some of the biggest and best blues guitarists in the music industry.

Tallan lights up a stage just by being there, but when he starts to play you have to stand back in amazement that this youngster not only can perform but make sounds come from his instrument that only the most knowledgeable and skilled artists can match or keep up to.

I so much enjoy watching the pros faces when they watch and play along with Tallan!  Chord for chord and riff for riff…..

“Tallan doesn’t just play music he makes music!”

It’s been a long time since my last update for Tallan and every day the searches for him continue to climb here on Rivenmaster’s Place! Readers young and old are hunting for new tidbits about this amazing blues wonder!   I have not written, only because Tallan has been so very busy. Since my last writing, Tallan has been doing many concerts, shows, and events such as the one held back in September.

Tallan was part of the PRS Experience held at the PRS factory.  I think it’s just amazing that you see Tallan’s name included in this collection of amazing guitarists and listed right under Grammy Award winning Ricky Skaggs.  Congratulations Tallan!

Our young musician appeared on stage with Derek St. Holmes from Ted Nugent’s Band and Howard Leese from Bad Company and played Rock n Roll by Zeppelin.

In addition to this great show Tallan also appeared at the Ground Zero Blues Bar in Clarksdale, Mississippi playing to a super charged audience.

From there he traveled down to Dallas, Texas Co-Headlining at the SRV Ride & Concertwith Eric Gales, Lance Lopez and Wes Jeans.

If appearing in all these great places in the US wasn’t enough, Tallan then went overseas to Denmark in November for 3 festivals, sharing the stage there with Ronnie Baker Brooks and Michael Burks.
