Discover Me
TerraTara is a singer/songwriter that is blessed to be a dual citizen of the USA and Canada. She travels back and forth between Slocan, B.C. and Southern Oregon. She was named after the famous site in Ireland, The Hill of Tara. Throughout her life, people asked her if she pronounced her name, Terra or Tara, so she decided to call herself, Terra Tara. She plays guitar, mandolin, piano and all types of percussion. She started out playing guitar and wrote many singer/songwriter compositions throughout the 2000’s. She began traveling the world and switched to mandolin because it was easier to carry while on the road, busking on the streets with her unique sound. While busking, she learned melodies of traditional Eastern European, Middle Eastern, Indian, Irish, Folk and Reggae music. She blends all those in her music today. TerraTara is now working to produce her singer/songwriter material, both old and new. Get ready!
About My Music
TerraTara’s music is a combination of World meets Folk meets Reggae. Relaxing and inspiring, at the same time. Some songs are sad, yet hopeful, invoking complex emotions and expressions through harmonic vocals. Her latest single, “Forward” is about Moving Forward in life, never looking back and keeping the evolution in constant motion… It’s a positive song that everyone can relate to… “A Love Tantalize”: Upfront vocals backed by reggae bass and drum. Catchy chorus and mandolin strumming with a fun percussive flavor. Tantalize: torment or tease with the sight or promise of something that is unobtainable… “Waiting for the Rain” is about the west Coast fires burning out of control in Western Canada and the U.S. It’s a distress call for the fires and smoke to end. It echoes with dissonant harmonies of the uncomfortable and despairing situation that seems to have no end. We are all praying for the rain, but despite out efforts, each day goes on and we are still, Waiting for the Rain. At the end of the song, the harmony becomes hopeful, and soon the rain will bless us…
