Information about Tara Maclean
Tara MacLean (born October 25, 1973 in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada) is a Canadian singer and songwriter. She was discovered by two Nettwerk employees on the top deck of one of the Gulf Islands ferries singing with some friends.
Her hit songs as a solo artist include "Evidence", "If I Fall", and a cover of the Christmas song "Light of the Stable". She is a member of Atlantic Canadian regional group, Shaye with Kim Stockwood and Damhnait Doyle.
Tara lived in Victoria and graduated from Mt. Douglas Senior high school in 1991. Passionate about the environment, she was arrested in September of 1993 while protesting the clear-cut logging of Clayoquot sound In B.C. She was charged and served two weeks in the Nanaimo jail.
Nettwerk Records discovered Tara singing on a ferry between Victoria, B.C. and Salt Spring Island. She signed to Nettwerk Records in April of 1995 after coming to Vancouver to record her song "Let Her Feel the Rain" for Lit from Within, a Nettwerk Records benefit compilation for rape crisis centers. That song was also placed on a Nettwerk compilation titled Slowbrew, and it received some radio airplay. She is managed by Terry McBride, and her representing Aagents are S.L. Feldman's in Canada and Little Big Man in the U.S. She is signed to Sony Music Publishing Canada.
Her first live appearance in Vancouver was at Nettwerk Record's 10 Year Anniversary Show at the Vogue Theater. Tara made an impact opening for the Dave Matthews Band and she appeared at the East Coast Music Awards where she sang with Marty Reno and Lennie Gallant as a tribute to the late Gene McLellan.
Significant radio play for the first single "Evidence", and its accompanying promotional video helped the success of the album in Canada and America. Nettwerk Records National Promotion Director Marc Alghini reports that over 20,000 of her debut CD have sold off Tara MacLean’s US tour. Tara toured to promote Silence for over two years, including opening slots for Ashley MacIsaac, Barenaked Ladies, Paula Cole, Ron Sexsmith and Tom Cochrane, and The Cure as well as eight dates on the Lilith Fair tour, which propelled her career and establish her legitimacy with many contemporary, female artists with whom she shared the spotlight.
In 1997 Tara released a five-song EP of live, remixed and re-recorded songs called "If You See Me". Tara embarked on a national club tour to promote the EP, performing as a duo with guitarist Bill Bell (Tom Cochrane, Danko Jones). She was named Best New Solo Artist at the Canadian Radio Music Awards in 1997, and also garnered an impressive buzz for her showcase at the 1998 South By Southwest in Austin, which led her to Capitol Records and her major label release.
To support "Passenger", Tara joined Kendall Payne, Shannon McNally and Amy Correia for a 21-stop Capitol Records sponsored The Girls Room Tour across America, agreeing to share the bus, stage and limelight for the opportunity to play live. Admission to The Girls Room shows were free, and the tour donated $1,000 to a women's charity in each city the tour visits. "Passenger" sold over 50,000 copies. She also appeared on Late Night with Conan O'Brien and had a Cameo in the Jerry Bruckheimer film Coyote Ugly, and USA Network's, Good vs Evil.
Tara left Capitol Records in 2001.
Tara gives birth to her first child Sophia Madrien Soleil Bell on December 19, 2001 in Oakville, Ontario.
Their debut album "The Bridge" was released in October 2003 on EMI Music Canada. "Happy Baby" the lead single, was nominated for Single of the Year at the 2004 Juno Awards and won the Canadian Radio music award. This was followed up by "Beauty" in January 2005. They represented Canada at the World Expo in Nagoya, Japan that Spring.
On February 23, 2006 Tara gave birth to her second child Stella Heather Sky Grand in Toronto, where she now resides with her partner Ted Grand (director and co-founder of Moksha Yoga.)
Their 2006 follow up, "Lake of Fire" was released on EMI Music Canada. It was exclusively available on iTunes in November 2006, then released physically in February 2007. The album was promoted with an enclusive download single, "Lake Of Fire" in November 2006. After the album's physical release, another single, "You're Not Alone" was released. The album is Zero footprinted (www.zerofootprint.net) which means that virtually all of the materials used to create the CD have been put back into nature by planting trees and restoring watersheds. Shaye is committed to promoting organ donation, and the use of green energy with Bullfrog Power.
