Tara Holloway

The voice of Tara Holloway is pure heart. A singer may dazzle with technique, but a VOICE, a real voice, has more to it. It cuts to the core without flash for flash’s sake or posturing for affect. And if true soul speaks to the heart, then this voice speaks volumes. When Miss Holloway opens up, emotions hit you deep. You immediately get the sense that there's someone real here. You FEEL the heartache, the hope and desire, the bourbon, cigarettes, laughter and honesty.

She's been compared to some of the more esteemed female artists of the present and past… to the confessional style of Lucinda Williams, the haunting wail of Stevie Nicks, the broken charm of Shelby Lynne, and the spirit of Janis Joplin. But there is no mistaking that this is a truly original voice - someone new.

A troubadour by nature and adventurer at heart, she’s been singing and playing her songs across Canada extensively, with a band and as a solo performer. Recently, she's hit south of the border into Nashville, Austin and Los Angeles, making fans with an immediate connection. Along the way, she caught the attention of mysterious ex-Jellyfish frontman Andy Sturmer. Sturmer encouraged her to record some songs with his friend, L.A. producer Dave Way who has worked with Fiona Apple, Macy Gray & Sheryl Crow. While working together in L.A., some early recordings fell upon the ears of music supervisor Bob Thiele Jr. who then plucked several tracks for the FX television show "Sons of Anarchy". Thiele has subsequently received an Emmy nomination for the show's music.
