Larissa Tandy
Recent immigrant to Canada, Larissa Tandy was recently named as one of Australias top ten emerging songwriters. Her instinctive, muscular songwriting and unrestrained performances are fast becoming her hallmarks, and she writes songs that communicate a sense of time and place, and invite the listener into the world of the song. Her most recent single, shut down, was picked up by radio in Australia, the US and the UK, and recommended by the CBC in Canada as a song you need to hear. Between staking a claim on red carpets as a film composer for hire, Larissa has been hard at work in the studio with Jim Bryson (Kathleen Edwards), recording her debut LP. The album, due for release mid 2016, showcases the songs and sounds that set her apart: potent stories, and a surprising, yet effortless blend of Southern Rock, 90s alternative, vintage gospel and country soul.
"Australia's Larissa Tandy has moved to Vancouver... fortunately for us" JUDITH LYNCH, CBC
