CONGRATULATIONS!! Fantastic news about the award nominations for 'TAMARA'. Well deserved! I'll be keeping my fingers crossed on the 24th for you.
As for the person who keeps leaving the nasty messages, just consider the source. Probably some idiot with too much time on their hands. You just keep on singing and being the beautiful spirit you are.

Hello Tamara!! I will be looking forward to attending one of your concerts, coming up. I hope we get a chance to talk. Wish you all the best, you are a bona fide talent in everyone's eyes.

Hey Tamara, HAPPY B-DAY, sorry i forgot hehe lol, and as for that coward, he/she can just sit back and try as hard as they please to knock one of the best artists in all of Canada, bc Im sure it wont phase a beautiful and strong Professional like your self. Its like my grandma used to say, jealousy kills only the jealous!
Rock on Girl!!!

Hey Tamara,
Great show at the Horseshoe last night. I’d have been happy to see you do the whole album. When you’ve got that many great tunes on a cd what do you cut for a show? Tough choices. Really missed ‘So Damn Beautiful’ and ‘She Knows Better’. But hey, time constraints I understand all too well. And I’m just grateful to be able to bring my shakers and knockers and do my ‘thang’. What’s better than playing or dancing along live to great music? Here’s a challenge for all you would be groupies out there. Check the calendar and show your face. Believe me, it’s worth the drive (walk, bus, cab…). How many of us get the opportunity either by talent, luck or hard work to touch the lives of millions. Very few. Tamara speaks to us and for us in so many ways, she is a Star deserving of our support. So come cheer her along so she knows that despite big business and the foggy, foggy road we’re out here and we love her and support what she’s doing. Oh, and bonus – she always has cd’s to autograph for you. So come get them right from the source!

Best of luck the CAMA’s!

I'm a day early, but just wanted to make sure I wished you a Happy Birthday for tomorrow. Hope you have yourself a really great day!!

Hi Tamara,
I realized I never signed your book, so I figured I would do so to say Congratulations on the nominations! I'm sure we won't get them televised here in the States, so you have to post & let us all know if you win. Best of luck to you, and hope to see you in NYC sometime soon! :)

# Bill Buckholtz Says:
I found your site by accident and I love it! Can't wait to hear you sing and/or see you perform! Here's how I got to this site. I know you did not sing on the first Spirit Nation CD (and I will promptly go out this week and buy it), but, I've been trying to find the lyrics (and translation) to the first CD for over a year.

The music was co-produced by David Evans and Jimmy Waldo. I believe the language is Lakota and I listen to this CD almost everyday. I am trying to contact the artist or writers, or someone familiar with this CD and can help me or direct me to someone who can. It would mean alot to me! Thanks. Bill

I run a preschool and I love to play Spirit Voices on repeat all day long. It relaxes me while I work and the kids are starting to sing along with all the songs. I wish I could get the lyrics in Saulteaux rather than translated to English.

Hey Tamara, After picking up your cd at the Glandstone I played it almost non-stop (my 6year old grandson wants me to put "ignore" on repeat,you can hear him singing along in the back of the car!) I went away for 12 days to the Maritimes where I had no access to music and was dealing with hard family issues. Your songs sustained me. Your tunes and lyrics would bubble up inside me constantly and helped carry me through especially when needed most. Thanks for putting to music the things we all live.

There are no proper adjectives to describe your music Tamara.
"Beautiful" and the uncountable refractions of it's many ideals fall shy. I am speechless, deeply touched and impressed by your fearless talent.

Joey

July 5, 2006

Destined for greatness! Sure would be glad to see one of your shows...any plans on hitting Saskatchewan? Peace...keep it up.

Deborah Gordon

June 26, 2006

Hey Tamara,
I was your "back-up dancer" (ha, ha, ha...)at the Gladstone the other night. I'm soooo enjoying your cd. If there's anything I can do to help promote it let me know. It's been my intention to email song requests to local Toronto radio stations asking for "Ignore". ( I could justifiably ask for any of them but we'll start with that.) Best of luck, let me know what else I might do to help promote.

It's Lisa from the Four Sheets office :-) I listened to some of the clips of your songs (finally got some time off now that filming's over!) The songs are just beautiful! I'm glad you spent the day at the office with us and I got to know you a little--wish I had been able to spend a little more time getting to know you. You seem so sweet and very interesting, too. I can't wait to hear the rest of the podcast interview! Best wishes for your future!

Hey Tamara! I just absolutely LOVE!!! your latest Cd "TAMARA." Your music is TRULY a gift that I enjoy getting everytime I listen. Your lyrics are not only inspiring but express things that I can relate to but have never heard someone else share and articulate so creatively. The music is awesome!! I was so anxiously awaiting this CD so I could have all my favorite songs that I had seen you perform live over the years and I just love the way you chose to record them. Meegwetch and NIAWEN KOWA!!!

Hey there Tamara! It's so good to see how great you've been doing. I guess it's no surprise that you're keeping yourself this busy!
Still have your Spirit Nation CD that I got from you at Kahnawake, my daughter loves listening to it while we're on the road. She's only 2 1/2 years and you can already see she's going to be quite the entertainer! LOL Hopefully she walks in the same positive footsteps you've walked in to get yourself where you are. It's been awhile since we've run into each other these days. But if I'm ever in the T.O. area, I'll have to give you a holla if I can get a hold of your busy self! But for now, much love and peace to you and wherever your path leads you in the future!

February 27, 2006

Hi Tamara,

I really enjoyed the show on Sunday, in particular, the beautiful finale, "All My Relations".

I used to view myself as Anishnabe, yet without any representation. Your inspirational good words made me realize that we are all representatives - as are all Anishnabe - for the collective reason that we are connected to the ancestors. Each day begins with more responsibility; that is to say, we are given the weighty task to remember, give thanks, and to show our thanks by preserving the ancestral teachings.

We breathe in the ancestors to begin a new day, to show us the way back, so that we can go forward.

Gchi-miigwetch!

P.S. I love the Spirit Nation cd!

What can one say about your awesome talent that hasn't been said? I came across "Spirit Voices" one day, and I continue to listen to it. (Although I don't understand the language.) After a stressful day, this CD relaxes me. Thanks for sharing such an awesome voice.

Mummy

February 10, 2006

What a crazy world! I was walking home from a crazy day of assignments due, mid-term prep, and general school frenzy. Kinda' feeling low as I had just handed in an assignment I know I could have done better on with more time. I was feeling woefully inadequate. I was forgetting about how great life is. In a daze from a long day, up at 4:am, I wasn't watching where I going and almost got squished by a passing vehicle. The following vehicle stopped and let another wise ass, jay walking student cross the road. They had their window down (crazy on this freezing January day!). I nodded thanks and slowly edged my way across the road. WHAT'S THIS? I hear my beautiful girl singing " She jumps in head first, no matter what people say.. she likes to learn..she likes to learn...the hard way." Ain't it grand! Life is beautiful again.
(They must have a new CD from your Ottawa performance, or AFN party)Remember, there is no coincidence in life. Thank you my girl. I love you.I love Life! Mummy

Aanii Tamara!

I saw you a while back on the Aboriginal Achievement Awards; I must say, you put on a spectacular performance. I see you have been quite busy as of late: kudos and I will definitely make it out to one of your T.O. shows.

P.S. I really like your site, especially the inspirational quote.

Keep up the good work!
