Tara Gess

When you blend rich, folk intensity with a country flare, you have the pure vocal sound of singer/songwriter, Tara Gess. As a native of the small town of Palmyra, Wisconsin, Tara grew up listening to country favorites, namely, Deana Carter, Alison Kraus and Emmylou Harris, and folk artists such as Jewel, Patty Griffin and Sarah McLachlan. Tara was a born entertainer and at the age of 3, announced to her parents that she was going to be “a country songer” when she grew up.Well Tara is all grown up now, (27 years old), and has had plenty of life experiences to draw from to complete her latest project, which is currently untitled. It includes the heartbreaking song, “I'm Gonna Miss Your Love,” the sassy, “Gone Fishin',” and “I Like Me,” a song of self-assurance and empowerment.“It’s easy to write songs that touch meee at a real, deep level,” Gess says, “the art is when another listener, even if it’s just one person, feels that you’ve just told their life story.” And that’s exactly what Tara Gess is all about…being real with the good, the bad, and the ugly emotions that both bless and plague our day-to-day living.After finishing up her latest project, Tara is hitting the road with her CD, red Takamine, and a smile.
