Backstory:
Tan Machine was born on a balmy summer night in Austin, Texas, as a trio of childhood friends – Sal, Danny, and Mitch – got together to create music after college. Originally intended as a way to pass the time while they figured out their post-graduation plans, the group found undeniable chemistry as a band. Their shared history, combined with their individual musical inclinations, resulted in a unique blend of styles that was both refreshing and nostalgic.

As they quickly gained local fame, their fanbase grew beyond Texas. Their following was fueled not only by their catchy tunes but also by their down-to-earth personalities and commitment to their music. Tan Machine stayed true to their roots, ensuring that their music always possessed a warmth and genuineness that mirrored their own friendships and journeys.

In the midst of life’s raging stream. (Am, C)

We’ve faced the storm, held each other tight, (G, D)
In the darkest days and the longest nights. (Am, C)

In our ever-shining golden dreams. (Am, C)
