Organic, soul-filled, artistic poetry. Songs that soar and music that inspires.
"Tara Craig takes the voice of thought and puts it into action. All the words that only swirl in your head, she brings to the light and makes them known. Armed with a sleepy clever voice, a guitar, a piano, and a mind as sharp as a knife, she takes the essence of what Austin and Austin music is and makes it her own. She is true to the legend of this Star of the South, a person to be counted among those who made this city the place for people of thought to thrive." - b'Hre Cole
"Honest, enchanting, Tara Craig is worth your listen." - Laura Stevenson
"Charged with passion and powerful poetry, Tara Craig offers her entire soul when she performs. The guitar and piano are not separated from her voice; rather they are an extension of the emotions and thoughts she sings about. The melodies that dance from her fingers are as memorable as the words pouring out of her mouth. Her vocals are dripping with struggle, conquering, turmoil and triumph. She could sing in gibberish and the songs color and meaning would still be clear. Her strong yet vulnerable spirit is displayed through the haunting and resonating timbre of her voice, which is the element of her music that will catch your ear upon first listen. Although distracted by the beautiful and enchanting music, her lyrics will start to ring in your head, and the way they relate to you in a spooky kind of precision will give you the chills. The combination of her voice, lyrical piano and guitar playing, and the undeniably tangible lyrics expose her inner depths revealing the immense amount of human understanding she holds. Take a listen, be wowed, and go home and think about how you can resolve those things in your life that keep you from being where you want to be. That's what she will inspire you to do, and you'll thank her later for saying what you could not." - Meg Baier
"As a solo artist she's adept with both the guitar and piano and delivers an eclectic mix of soaring spirituals and good old-fashioned, broken-hearted ballads." - Heather Robinson
