about
"Commanding a room with a whisper—and then breaking it wide open." Led by award-winning singer-songwriter and former Austin "Best Female Musician" Tara Craig, the Tara Craig Trio delivers an immersive live experience that blends soulful indie-folk with art-rock intensity. Alongside Daniel DeShon (bass/electric guitar) and Scott Sluis (drums), the trio transforms Tara’s intimate compositions into a lush, high-energy, authentic, world-class sound. From minimalist contemplative folk to powerful anthems of community and resistance, the Trio offers a rare, unbound chemistry that is as raw as it is refined.

“A radiant performer, Tara Craig uses her sparrow-like instrument with sheer agility. She allows every single emotion to drip from her soul and then wraps you up in its free-falling stream.” - Bee Delores
