Tamara
Bedricky
With the release of her full length debut,
a busy touring schedule, and a growing arsenal of well-crafted
and moving songs, newly based Chicago singer-songwriter Tamara
Bedricky is bestowing a glimpse of her musical power. She has
received local and national acclaim for her captivating voice
and excellent songwriting, landing song placement in several
national television shows and air time on radio stations across
the country. Paving her way into the local, national, and college
music scenes with a consistent touring schedule, she's won over
fans and peers alike with her live performances and demanding
sound. Throughout her career, Tamara has performed in New York's
Central Park alongside Michelle Branch, was chosen as of five
up-and-coming female artists in the National Pantene Pro-Voice
music competition, and came full circle with a performance at
the Detroit Music Awards.
The Detroit native first picked up the guitar
at the age of 15 while living in Nashville, finding solace in
music as she struggled to adapt to new surroundings. "Music
has always been the one thing that I could count on to help
me deal with change," Tamara explains. It was in Nashville where
she studied guitar and started performing at open mics. Inspired
by artists such as Ryan Adams, Eric Clapton, and Bonnie Raitt,
Tamara began to develop her own melodies and lyrics fueled by
an array of emotions related to heartache, love, life and detachment.
"Many of my songs move away from current musical trends and
highlight what's important - the marriage of music and lyrics,"
she explains.
THROUGH THESE EYES "Through These Eyes" is
Tamara's debut album, a collection of 11 songs inspired by events
in her life and recorded with the help of producer and guitarist
Marlon Young (Dave Mathews, Kid Rock) and Detroit Producer/Drummer
extraordinaire Danny Cox. The album showcases her sweet yet
raw and powerful vocal ability, and demonstrates significant
growth and maturity for the young songwriter. Currently working
on new songs for her sophomore album, Tamara is gearing up to
record in the studio, and plans for an album release are set
for as early as Spring 2008. In the meantime, keep your ears
to the street for more exciting news, and your eyes open for
a live show near you.
In 2006, Tamara Bedricky released her debut
album "Through These Eyes" (available at AWARESTORE
