About Tara Velarde
Songstress Indie Folk
Diva Folk artist Tara Velarde combines commanding vocals and
thought-provoking lyrics into a genre distinctly her own. Part soul, part
singer-songwriter, part blues-rock, and with a splash of the theater, Velarde
takes the stage with charm, sass, and a quest to find the far reaches of her
vocal abilities.
Listeners liken her performance to Brandi Carlile, Regina Spektor,
and Carole King - great female powerhouses with a lot to say. Kelsey Anne
Rankin (Eugene Weekly) states that “Velarde maneuvers her voice from feathery
to spine-tingling...She fuses a mixture of blunt and angelic vocals to express
lyrics that sound like a soul put to melody”.
With 2 album releases (“The Tara Novellas” in 2014, “Get Out and
Walk” in 2016) and 2 recent singles (“Willow Baby” in 2017, “Touch You” in
2018), Velarde stays active on the road and in the studio. She tours both solo
and with her full band throughout the Western US and Europe.
