About Me

"Det går lenge mellom hver gang vi finner så god musikk innenfor denne sjangeren." (Urørt)
At the tip of the stage Tara stands and plays her guitar while she sings from the top of her lungs. Behind her Hjalmar Rønningen plays his bass carefully while he sings a bit every now and then. Next to him Johan A. S. Jørgensen helps out with the guitar playing while he also sings. And all the way at the back Gunnar Sæter beats his drum like a 1950's drum machine.
Tara play well-thought-through uncomplicated music. Say pop with a few drops of surprising genre mixes. Somebody once said that the music was like Tara herself: colorful and crazy the one moment and nice and calm the next.
Tara has played together for four year, and have become a popular live band, that amoung other places have played at Blå, Dølajazz, Gloria Flames, Quart og Storås. Tara has also been Ukas Urørt. In november 2006 they released the album "Plain as Coal".
"En av årets mest interessante plater allerede nå?" (Jan Granlie, Jazznytt)
"dette er følsom og jazzet pop på sitt beste." (Jakob Berg, Fædrelandsvennen)
"høres ut som en melankolsk søndag ettermiddag: litt trist, men å så deilig." (Radio Nova)
