About Tara:

Half-way through high school, Tara moved to LA from a rural town in southern New Jersey to write songs and perform. Tara is a Folk/Americana singer-songwriter that puts a spin on cosmic country with a songwriting style that evokes a darker, more mysterious edge.

Tara’s sound is deeply influenced by Cosmic American Music, fathered by Gram Parsons in the late 1960s and popularized by Linda Ronstadt and Brandi Carlile. Her lyrics allegorize a gamut of lived experience from heartache to mental health awareness, creating modern folklore that is all her own.

Music is a universal language. How do you listen to it? We sat down with Khris Riddick-Tynes to unpack how some of us are trained to listen to music and what elements create a song. CONTINUA is "Guided by Music" so exploring how it's constructed is fundamental to us. Whether you call it the music business or business of music, one known fact is the demanding schedule and the unpredictable lifestyle it comes with it. Khris talked to us about how he navigates that lifestyle while still maintinting his health.
