The Tender Years is a musical project created from over 30 years of friendship and individual/ collective service in the Twin Cities music scene (Hero, Accident Clearinghouse, The Autumn Leaves.) Like a soft vintage cardigan, they proudly and comfortably wear their influences on their sleeve. Strewn throughout their brand of ramshackle stumble-pop, you'll hear traces of IRS-era R.E.M., Yo La Tengo, and Guided By Voices to name a few.
