A fresh voice from the desert southwest
Tashi Trueheart (it’s a family name, believe it) grew up in the mountains of Colorado. They are inspired by the intense landscapes that they have called home. Tashi’s music explores themes of loss, longing, and the mysteries of where time, movement, death and re-ecounters take us.
Although their musical background was more classical and jazz leaning, Tashi has since embraced writing songs within the folk/Americana traditions, inspired by the likes of Gillian Welch, Townes Van Zandt, Sarah Jarosz and Bonnie Raitt, to name a few.
Tashi’s debut singles have been enthusiastically received by a growing fanbase who appreciate their unique voice and lyrical style. Their words and clear, warm voice silence a full room with ease and their stage presence is familiar and charming.
“Striking vocals bring out the true poetry of Tashi’s music. Their songs and live presence are a balm for the weary ” — Aspen Daily News
