About Me

www.tammyrochelle.com "Charming, sophisticated, and full of raw emotion" is what they are saying about Tammy Rochelle and her folk-rock Americana music. Tammy's gift lies in her ability to open the hearts of all who hear her self-penned music and lyrics, reaching each listener one-by-one, evoking feelings of peace, comfort, and joy. Her music combines elements of rock, folk, bluegrass, reggae and blues, with her personal, emotional, and spiritual life experiences. The result is a message of hope, love, and compassion that truly permeates the senses and creates an immediate bond with her audiences.This singer/songwriter from the storied coast of North Carolina has mesmerized audiences throughout the world over the last 10 years with her acoustic-driven sound, soul penetrating lyrics, and pure sweetness of voice. Tammy's credits include 3 full-length albums, numerous TV and radio appearances, and over 500 shows with tours in the U.S.A., Germany, Norway, Sweden, Hungary, Poland, Switzerland, Venezuela, and Kenya. She performed before millions on the main stage at the 2000 World's Fair in Hanover, Germany, has wowed audiences in Nashville, Tennessee at venues including the Exit-In, Bluebird Cafe, 12th and Porter, 3rd and Lindsley and the Music City Marathon, and has co-written with major label BMG Hip Hop artists as well as with jazz musicians from the prestigious Jazz Academy of Poland.Tammy draws inspiration from artists such as Joni Mitchell, Paul Simon, and Carole King. Her lyrics are unapologetically honest and intimate, expressing the overflowing emotions of an open and vulnerable heart. Songs about falling in and out of love, depression, joy, questions of life, her relationship with God, experiences in her spiritual life, loss of a loved one, or the pure celebration of her thankfulness are no doubt what endear her to her audiences.After studying communications at Lee University in Cleveland, Tennessee, and earning a Bachelor of Business from Belmont University's school of Music Business in 2000, Tammy assembled a group of talented friends in Nashville to record her self-titled debut album. She began building her fan base and promoting her first record by touring in Europe during the summers of 2000 and 2001. She returned to the United States to start writing and recording her second album, "Picture of my Soul" during the fall of 2001, and began her third tour of Europe during the summer of 2002 to promote her second release. In 2004 Tammy produced her third CD, "Kiss of Light" and promoted the album throughout Europe through a winter and a summer tour.In the summer of 2005 and 2006, Tammy toured again throughout Europe and played shows in the southeast of the USA. In the summer of 2006, she played before thousands during her 22 show World Cup Tour through Germany. The following summer (2007) Tammy finished her 8-song EP, Starting Today and promoted it through a German summer tour. Email [email protected]
