Canadian singer/songwriter Tara MacLean has been an internationally renowned and award-winning recording and touring artist for over 25 years. She’s written and recorded six solo albums and two with her Juno-nominated band Shaye (with Kim Stockwood and Damhnait Doyle). Tara has been signed to Nettwerk Music Group, EMI Canada, Capitol US and Asia and is still with Sony Music Publishing Canada.
In 2008, Tara took a hiatus to focus on being a full-time mother, but she never stopped writing music. Tara returned to her music career in 2016 when she wrote, produced, and directed her hit show “Atlantic Blue-The Stories of Atlantic Canada’s Iconic Songwriters” which went on to a sold-out run at the famous Charlottetown Festival. The same year she returned to releasing original material – a duet (This Storm) with Catherine MacLellan and a new album (Deeper). She received the Music PEI Songwriter and Solo Recording award for “Deeper” and “This Storm” received the Music PEI Song Award that same year.
Her first book, Song of the Sparrow, hit the Bestseller List the week it was released and Tara quickly followed up with “Sparrow” – the soundtrack for the book. The book has received rave reviews and Tara has been invited to speak at several literary events including HayFest in the UK and the Toronto International Festival of Authors. “Sparrow” has received significant playlist placements and has garnered new fans.
