Check Out The Comancheros ’s Story

Today we’d like to introduce you to The Comancheros .

Hi, The Comancheros. We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today. Can you start by introducing yourself?
We’re The Comancheros, a heavy and western band making music and touring the Midwest and South. We’re a three-piece: Jon and Michael have known each other forever, and Tanner and Michael met teaching at a music store. When Tanner pitched the band idea to Michael, Michael knew Jon had to be involved, and the rest is history!

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Is anything easy? We do everything ourselves. It’s a lot to handle, but it needs to be done before the show starts. The music industry also keeps changing. But what doesn’t change is people’s need for live music. We play shows. The rest comes and goes.

Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
Our music is heavy and western, and we always try to figure out what that sounds like. Lyrically, we write country, folk, and rock n’ roll songs. We all grew up in the Midwest and played all over the region and the South. We did some shows in England this year and are excited to be out with The Kentucky Headhunters in September. Overall, we want people to say, “they did rock n’ roll right.”

Any advice for finding a mentor or networking in general?
Richard Young from The Kentucky Headhunters produced our new music, and David Barrick co-produced it. I had talked to Richard a few times and just got wild hair to ask him to produce. I sent him an e-mail, and the rest is history! Always put yourself out there, and don’t be afraid.
