Tamara Beatty

Tamara Beatty

Born in Saskatchewan and raised in Alberta, singer/songwriter Tamara Beatty is a prairie girl with a gypsy heart. Her music is influenced by the simple beauty of nature, an interest in human nature and her adventures around the globe.

Tamara followed her inner gypsy around the world teaching voice lessons and exploring music, culture, and art.  As she traveled, she kept books of her own writing- short stories, journal entries, and a collection of poetry.

When Tamara decided to combine her love for writing and singing she brushed off her old writing journals and came up with a few songs to take to Los Angeles to record.  Five songs became eight, and eight became eleven.  These eleven songs collectively evolved into Tamara Beatty's debut album of original music, "February Bloom", a storybook of her life since she first started songwriting.

“I am a Seed

Everything I need

To be

To bud

To Bloom.”

Always very visually inspired seeing music as colors, textures, shapes and movement, Tamara wanted to express this unrevealed part of herself.  She transformed "February Bloom" into a visual arts show that debuted at the University of Calgary Theatre in January 2011. The show, “Shades of Bloom” was produced and directed by Tamara and included performances of the eleven original works from her CD, as well as choreographed dance accompaniment and photographs taken by Tamara on her travels around the world.

The concept of the show is that flowers, whether they are budding, blooming, or wilting are always perfect in every stage of bloom.   Tamara invites the audience to see themselves through the eyes of a flower, embracing their beauty as they are right now. 

The show explores themes of nature, beauty, honesty, and simplicity- all reflective of Tamara’s prairie roots and gypsy nature.   At the beginning she poses the audience the question, “What Shade of Bloom Are You?” For now, Tamara Beatty is in “February Bloom”.
