Tamara Beatty

In 2010 Tamara Beatty released her debut solo album, February Bloom- a collection of 11 songs that have been described as a paradox of "sweet and deep". Influenced by poets like Leonard Cohen and Christina Georgina Rosetti, and artists like Kandinsky and Monet, Tamara is inspired by beauty, nature, and the strong inner calling to have a voice through the arts. For the release of her CD she produced and directed a successful multi-disciplinary show with photography, dance, lighting, and an 8 piece band (cello, bass, guitar, drums, guitar, piano, keyboards, and background vocals).

A difficult event in the summer of 2012 sparked Tamara to write the song “No”, where she was challenged to speak up for herself. The event was a turning point and Tamara saw it as a chance to heal old wounds, build confidence, and re-establish independence. Many styles and sounds emerged and Tamara turned to her looper pedal to tie all the music together. With only a few months of looping under her belt, Tamara is quickly becoming one of Canada’s top female loopers.
