Tanner Dane Releases New Song "Hardest Lessons Learned"

Tanner Dane has released a brand new song titled “Hardest Lessons Learned” via Easy Does It Records. The Chicago based singer-songwriter has also announced that he will be playing an official Lollapalooza after party on July 30th at Lincoln Hall in Chicago, IL.

In a press release announcing the song, Dane stated the following:

"This was written during a period of reflection after a breakup, when I came to understand that personal growth sometimes comes at a painful cost. The song explores the realization that becoming a better person can happen too late for the relationship you hoped to save, leaving behind lessons that were earned through loss. It's about finding value in the character, wisdom, and perspective gained along the way - even when it means losing someone who once meant everything to you. This is a singer-songwriter vibe that will fit perfectly with summer heartbreak folks who can find the relevancy in my lyrics. I believe this song demonstrates growth in both lyricism and musicianship in the past 2 years. I wrote this tune with the help of fellow singer-songwriter, Levi Foster in Nashville Tennessee in 2025. The tune was engineered and mixed by Ziyad Asrar of Chicago-based indie band, Whitney."
