TallenCross

Virginia Beach, VA, USA

Solo artist Tallen Cross has an innate capacity for both songwriting and engaging performance. At the tender age of 8, he found himself with a guitar in his hand and a microphone in front of him, often spending hours at a time honing his skillset. By age 11, Tallen was playing any and every place that would let him through the front door - house parties, school plays, talent shows, and guitar competitions, to name a few. After years of refinement and perseverance, the Virginia Beach native is set to release his first solo album, "Return of Rock & Roll,” with material for a second album already in motion. Tallen’s sound, best described as “traditional rock and roll with a powerful punch to the gut,” is multifaceted in nature. Its nod to sharp, polished modern rock influence is answered by an even more apparent presence of classic, timeless blues, and soul from well before the artist’s time.
