It feels brand new to be playing to audiences again. Recently Ed Rowe, who plays electronic drums and percussion, started contributing his talents to our musical venture. He and and Brennan Pierce (on bass, guitar, vocals, and percussion) create a smooth little groove pocket to drive the troubadourian sound of my vocals, piano, and guitar. Our priority is to connect with folks via our stories through original and our favorite cover songs. The three of us make up The Tamara V Trio.

I am also recording my second CD with producer, Michael Hoffmann. My husband, Stephen Vendetta has been assisting in the sound engineering of the project which has been a wonderful experience. I hope to have the project finished by 2011 or the end of the Mayan Calendar, whichever comes first.

You can catch Steve and me on occasionally on the television program, Funny Guise, produced by Glen Kelly. It airs on Channel 14 in Kenosha Wisconsin on Wednesday and Friday nights and in Madison, Wisconsin on channels 95 and 991 on Friday nights. You can also stream the show from the link and catch clips on You Tube.

Brennan and I also create with poignant songwriting likes of Tim Hort of The Radio Hour,  Joe Griffin and Jordan Macarus.
