When I first introduced Tallan Latz here at Rivenmaster’s Place back in December, I knew that this kid was going to be more than an outstanding showman and guitar playing genius!  Tallan Latz has been making more than ripples in the pool of talented young musicians. He’s been creating Tidal Waves in the ocean of success!


Recently Tallan received endorsement deals with PRS Guitars, Shure Microphones, Ultrasone Headphones and Mogami Cables. And if that’s not big enough news about this young 10 year old musician, Tallan was just nominated for a WAMI Awards for Rising Star of the year.

WAMI is Wisconsin’s equalvent to the Grammys. So kind of a big deal expecailly since it is usually adults up for these awards.

There is no doubt in my mind that Tallan deserves more than a nomination as he truly is a sensational young guitarist and blues vocalist.  Nothing will surprise me what comes from all this, in fact in about 6 years we could be looking at our next American Idol!  I think it’s about time that that show got a talented Blues / Rocker!

This boy can bring it all!
Watch this video in amazement as Tallan does his rendition of Voodoo Child which was shot on Nov 27th, 2009 at BB King’s in Times Square for the Jimi Hendrix’s 67th Birthday Celebration.

Be watching here in the near future as we bring you more updates from Tallan’s camp about all the fantastic people he has been meeting and the outstanding performances he had been doing! Keep kicking it Tallan cause were all watching!

Thomas Hans’ captures trophy and releases new video!

Thomas Award
Thomas Hans’ has been really busy the past few months with school, in fact he has been unable to do little else but school work and activities surrounding that.  However, he has had time to squeeze in a few singing engagements and compete in one contest for which he brought home the winning trophy!

Thomas remains one of the best young singers in Germany and has proven himself to have charisma beyond compare both in person and when entertaining.  He has maintained most of his upper register and has really challenged himself with some rather difficult songs as of late.

While his recent video has been a long awaited one from his fans, he has been busy in the recording studio and produced several new mixes which are being played often on http://theskykid.com/radio. Listen to Thomas sing his version of Nirvana’s “The Man who sold the world”

Today’s post also includes his version of “Ein bißchen Frieden” or “A Little Peace” in English. This song was written by prolific German Eurovision writing duo Ralph Siegel (music) and Bernd Meinunger (lyrics) for the Eurovision Song Contest 1982 in Harrogate, Yorkshire, England.  It was performed by 17 year old high school student Nicole, resulting in Germany’s only ever win at the Eurovision Song Contest by a record margin of sixty one points, setting a new record for the largest winning margin. Here Thomas does it more than justice with his rendition:

For his last song I offer his beautiful version of “Love Of My Life” by Queen. The last good version of this song was recorded by Declan Gelbraith but I know you will simply love Thomas singing this song:


I think you will agree with me that Thomas has a voice that captures your attention and the feeling and expression that he puts into his songs draws you in and keeps you desiring more.

Embedded below is his most recent video and I might add, the best quality video he has ever produced.  Using one of his recent backtracks he lip-syncs to the song “Wonderful Dream”.

Thomas will be around for a long time and even after his voice changes I predict that he will be producing records and be one of Germany’s most sought after recording artists.
