TC Chantler is a Southern Minnesota native with deep musical roots in the Mankato area—the nephew of local legend Paul “Putter” Durenberger and guitarist Louis Durenberger. After cutting his teeth on the Northwest circuit in his twenties, TC lived in Montana and toured through the grunge era with Shag Harbor, earning “Montana’s Best Band” honors three years running before joining the nine-piece honky-tonk outfit Johnny Steel and the Decline of the West.
Now back in Minnesota, TC is a familiar solo presence in small towns, known for heartfelt acoustic playing, a raspy whiskey-and-cigarette voice, and a sharp sense of humor. He’ll likely know your request—and if you heckle him or the staff, expect an improvised song at your expense. Think folk singer meets stand-up comic meets failed rock star… and undeniably entertaining.
