TARAN

I Sebastiano( Todd) Tarantello and Juha Jarvinen met in West Palm Beach, Fla. in 1990 where we starting writing songs and recording them. We both play all instruments so we kind of leaned on each other, both of us being from europe we felt a little like misfits in the U.S. I have been in the States since I was a kid, Juha came In 1989.We shopped our demos to some indie labels we got picked up in June of 1991 and were went to Stockholm,Sweden to record our first CD. Then we toured through Europe for almost 2 yrs playing many festivals and woodstock type events,Sharing the stage for such acts as Fishbone,Neil Young ,Living Colour and more.I speak 5 languages so I used to MC alot of the events depending on the country we were in. I returned to the U.S to build a recording studio in N.Y. and Juha went back home to Finland and started work as a sought after session player. After a couple years apart we reunited in N.Y. and recorded our 2nd Cd "I might have been something" which was released By Taja Records out of Las vegas, Nevada.Our single "the Dayz" is currently being played on over 400 radio channels and has been incorperated in the independent film "A night at the Cat"
I tour wtih the Taran Band which is made up of New York's finest musicians.We play night clubs, festivals and local concerts in support of the new CD.We look forward to starting on a 3rd CD and playing as many live show as possible.
