Meet Tarea Anderson
Tarea Anderson
The warm texture of Tarea Anderson’s soulful voice captivates an audience with a playfulness that is uplifting while maintaining control of the rhythm, time and tempo of the music of various genres. As a native of Washington, DC, Tarea’s sound is a product of the rich and varied music history of the Nation’s Capital that includes Gospel, Jazz, Doo Wop, Soul, Hip Hop, and Go Go. Like the genre of Go Go, another product of DC, her artistic style embraces a combination of music that develops into an artform.
She is the winner of the 2004’s Smooth Jazz 105.9’s Sexiest Jazz Vocalist Competition. She has been featured during Taste of Georgetown and the celebrated Duke Ellington Jazz Festival (now the DC Jazz Festival). She has headlined regularly at one of DC’s newest music venues Alice’s Jazz and Cultural Society. Also, the artist has headlined multiple times at DC’s historical venues comprising of Twins Jazz, Bohemian Caverns, Mr. Henry’s, and Blues Alley.
As a passionate example of the respect she has for musical treasures, Tarea has performed loving tributes to legends such as Betty Carter, Carmen McCrae, Al Jarreau, and Nancy Wilson to audiences of their dedicated fans. Her Nancy Wilson tribute inspired an invitation to sing with the legendary duo Tuck and Patti during one of their sold out shows at Blues Alley. In addition to Tuck and Patti, Tarea has had the pleasure of sharing the stage with other great musicians including Najee and Roy Ayers.
Just prior to the current Pandemic Tarea Anderson was in the process of expanding her audience with plans to travel more throughout the US and to venture overseas. The vocalist has been taking this time to explore more art, further develop artistic skills, and show support to fellow artists while working on her solo project. Overall, the artist has been eagerly preparing physically, mentally, and spiritually for the future of music.
