New Album May '08

About Me

tarl began his singing career in a cupboard...that’s right, a cupboard...”hey, you gotta start somewhere!” It ACTUALLY all began in a small forrest, just outside of the small town of Grindrod B.C Canada... It was a cold night, even for the animals that milled around the small thatch hut with the pool and massive rock wall (no idea) there was a pool and rock wall though!Ok... tarl’s musical journey kind of plays out like this...-singing in a cupboard (covered that...) -won $5.00 singing “Tomorrow” from “Annie”...dressed like Annie (you can’t make this stuff up) -got drunk one night and thought... starting a band would be cool! “What was I thinking!”While attending the once coined "University of Rock & Roll",as the singer/front man for the rock group “SAM” tarl spearheaded the beginnings of a dream; two full length independent albums "Greatest Hits Vol. 1"(FACTOR AWARDED) and the self titled "SAM" that has sold over 4000 units. Accompanying these albums came multiple Canadian tours, motion picture & video game soundtracks as well as nation wide airplay with the single "Dirty Girl". Along the way tarl has been awarded multiple showcases at New Music West and has had the honor of sharing the stage with a myriad of great acts such as; Nickelback, Finger Eleven, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Default, Bif Naked..."One of, if not the best front men I’ve ever had the pleasure of seeing" (T. Ventura - The Fox) "I could listen to tarl sing the words off the back of a cereal box...AWSOME" (S. Hillis - Garageband.com)With this success and experience in hand, tarl continues to strive for more...In the Fall of 2007, tarl and business partner Bryan Slusarchuk took things to the next level with the creation of U. of G. Entertainment Inc. A launching pad for all things great in the Entertainment world, the first being a solo album by tarl that has already received widespread praise from industry insiders.A full length Album, a brand new website, a group of players that take the live show to a whole new level and touring plans for June ’08... it’s on like donkey kong!!!tarl...with a flare for entertaining and a voice that captures...the possibilities and opportunities are endless.
