Artist History It was 20 years ago today... that Craig Evans and Brad Tucker started singing together, and over the last two decades they have covered a lot of musical ground. Throughout their travels there have been a few compass points that they've always steered towards - hooks and harmonies. Regardless of styles or instrumentation, the melody has always been there, and kept them on track.. The Taters began in 1997 as "Burnt Taters", and was shortened to simply The Taters in 2002.

Press Reviews "American roots-rock with thoroughly modern, totally hip sensibilities...STRANGE BUT TRUE is an absolute winner" -Billboard magazine "Think 'Beatles For Sale' if Marty Robbins were a primary influence instead of Carl Perkins." -No Depression "The Tater's tight playing, catchy arrangement sense, close harmonies, and surprisingly full sound that makes their second album worth a listen" -Country Standard Time "Classic country, classic rock and pure pop influences, a mix similar to what you'd hear if Hank Williams and the Everly Brothers combined forces in the '90s. -Richmond Times Dispatch "Well-ordered rhythm tracks with exquisite melodies and harmony singing ... an excellent record" -Blue Suede News
