Interview with Tareya

In The Country with Dave Woods

Country artist Tareya has been scaling the heights of the Canadian music industry since 2012 with multiple JUNO and CCMA award nominations and chart-topping singles earned through her time as part of the popular Country duo Autumn Hill. In 2017, this Calgary-born artist found a new voice as a solo singer/songwriter, with a refreshing new tracklist that blurs the lines between country, pop and R&B. With her debut single “Summer Wheels”, Tareya is exploring the edges of her music roots. This dashboard drumming summertime feel good tune is a celebration of her romance-filled introduction to southern beaches and her love for a man who digs classic cars. Expected in the fall of 2017, Tareya's debut solo album features lyrics crafted from a place of daring artistic expression and unforgettable melodies that veer off the rails to showcase the complexities of her heart-stopping voice. Tareya is now enjoying the opportunity to release her debut solo album. Her intent is to create an album that reflects the profound influence of powerful Canadian female artists including, Sarah McLachlan, Celine Dion, Shania Twain, Jann Arden and Chantal Kreviazuk who provided the soundtrack to her childhood and teenage years.
