Tara’s songs provide the audience with a fantasy like sensation fused with passionate and emotional instrumentals. Some of these songs merely seek to observe human emotions; both the good and the bad. Still others decry a dystopian view of a corrupt world that cares little for the humanity that exists within it. Tara invites the audience to contemplate their own experiences dealing with these emotions and issues though the lyrics of her songs. Her songs provoke questions but leave the audience to come up with their own answers.
The client who books Tara Elisha and her band can expect a professional and passionate performance from a musician who gives her all on and off stage to make sure her music and her performance are the best that they can be. This passion in her work pleases a crowd and creates an atmosphere for everyone in the house to have a good time.
Tara Elisha performs with her band, The Survivors. Together they perform Tara's original music as well as cover songs from the latest alternative rock hits to classic rock hits from the past.
