Tanner James is a Canadian folk musician and filmmaker based in Alberta. He was previously a member of the Calgary indie band The Nix Dicksons and later pursued a solo career focused on storytelling through music and film.
Career
[edit]James was a founding member of The Nix Dicksons, a Calgary-based band active from 2008 to 2013. The group released *The Red Fox* in 2011, which was reviewed by Earshot and described as “campus and community radio friendly.”[1] They were also featured in the CITR Discorder music magazine.[2]
After the group disbanded, James pursued a solo folk music career. His songwriting often focuses on themes of prairie life and rural Alberta. In 2017, he toured across British Columbia and Alberta, an event promoted as the “Great North Tour” by Exclaim! Magazine.[3] In an interview with the *Taber Times*, he discussed his return to small-town Alberta and the influence of those experiences on his music.[4]
Film
[edit]James is also active as an independent filmmaker. His 2022 mockumentary *Wild Bill* was featured by Lethbridge Campus Media, which described it as a "guerilla film with a shoestring budget" portraying a different side of Alberta life.[5]
