Born with the voice of a god, Tanner grew up hiding his talents due to the extreme religious doctrines of the cult he was born into. Instead, he learned the language of music by first studying classical piano, and then cello. His first stage performance was at the age of 4 years old. He cried due to stage fright, was reassured by his father, and never got anxious to perform again. As a teen, he played in orchestras and in the pit during musicals. 

After breaking free from his childhood cult, he discovered his voice, singing with a professional choir as first tenor. Quickly becoming the main soloist, he began to realize he had something special. 

It was when he joined his local drag troupe that he discovered his talent for working a crowd. Lady May Hungbe, his alter ego, would captivate audiences with risque performances and soaring vocals. 

During a trip to Mexico he was approached by a witch, who promised him a supernatural ability if he could survive a single night of pure torment. “Everybody receives something different,” she told him. With nothing to lose, he agreed. 

That night he screamed. And he screamed. And he SCREAMED. Roaring against the pain, clinging to life by pure spite, he endured. After that, everything changed. Possessed by Legion, he gained the ability to reach both heaven and hell, channeling the voice of an angel in one breath, then bawling and shrieking with the entire horde of hell in the next. 

Be sure to do a few “hail mary’s” before letting his voice push into your earhole. You never know what might happen. 

Stefan Flores is a veteran, in-demand drummer in the Colorado music scene and can be seen playing straight ahead jazz, funk, to playing drums in a dixieland jazz group.  He was a founding member of the progressive metal band Titan Force which released two albums and still plays European shows with the group.  He has a deep history with many popular Colorado bands such as Denver's hard rock group Mudcrawl and a long stint behind the drums with the popular delta blues group The Deltasonics.

Stefan's abilities are as varied as his influences and he as proud to be known as a chameleon being the drums.  

Stefan currently gigs regularly with Denver soul artist Jacob Larson, the jazz organ trio The Heavy Devils, and many other groups as free-lance drummer.
