Tamara is a native Texan and her violin playing is as sweet as the iced tea there.
She began studying violin as a child, and discovered her love for classical music and her instrument. Being the curious girl she was, however, she quickly found a love for all styles of music and began to aggressively pursue playing bluegrass, country, texas swing, rock and electro-acoustic music.
Tamara studied at Texas Christian University with Curt Thompson and currently performs with The Polyphonic Spree and Telegraph Canyon. She is also a contributing violinist for Warren Jackson Hearne (The Gloomadeers), The Boxcar Bandits and Robert Gomez. She has appeared on albums with Astronautalis, Bill Calahan (Smog), Micah P. Hinson and Centromatic.
Tamara's favorite things? – fried chicken and sci-fi novels, naturally.
