Press

“Pittsburgh songwriter Tarra Layne has burst onto the scene behind her debut self-titled EP and its sunny-side-up single "Beautiful Day". Both forecast a long career buoyed by a silky vocal disposition and heartfelt lyrics, with a dash of that Western Pennsylvania attitude sprinkled on top. ”

— Nick, Sonicbids

“Tarra is the real deal. She takes over a stage when she performs and a camera when interviewed. Anyone who comes in contact with her has to acknowledge her talents.”

— Justin LaBar, The Pittsburgh Tribune Review

“Tarra is beyond mere singer and songwriter. She is a vocal artist with a timbre so burnished yet sweet she makes every word a joy, every song an experience. It's in her genuine and profound delivery that I see without exception the clear meaning of her intention and deeply creative spirit.”

— Daniel Teadt, Grammy-Award Winning Vocalist

“In today’s over-produced, over-glamorized, and over auto-tuned industry, Tarra Layne belts overtop blaring guitars like it’s the only thing left for her to do. Her voice is like a weapon. It cuts right through you the very first time you hear it. It’s a mix of rock, blues, and soul that is unmistakably her own...”

— Smokescreen Magazine

“Q: What have been some of the more memorable performances for you - and what made them so? A: I recently had an interview on 93.7 The Fan. They let me sing Rock ‘n Roll by Led Zeppelin on air! It was a great feeling, especially when people actually called me afterwards like, “OMG! YOU WERE JUST ON THE RADIO! THAT WAS AMAZING!” I was also in a competition on Froggy 95 this summer that was broadcast live. It’s just mind-blowing. Last year, my goal was to sing on the radio, this year it was to get my record done, next year, oh well, ya betta watch out! It’s all so exciting. I live for it.

“The Pittsburgh Tribune Review Pittsburgh, PA---Wednesday, April 20, 2011- Southern rock singer/songwriter Tarra Layne, 25, returns from Nashville, TN, grabbing the attention of The Pittsburgh Tribune Review. Camera in hand, reporter Justin LaBar, documents the ups, downs, and past of the struggling artist. Tarra Layne’s single, Beautiful Day, is due out in May 2011, followed by her debut self-titled EP. It wasn’t long ago that she was pounding the pavement in Nashville, TN, but she hasn’t stopped yet. Gibsonia, PA native, Tarra Layne has returned from Music City, USA with a mission. “I truly found myself in Nashville (TN), but I wanted to take a step back to build awareness in my hometown, confirm the music path I am about to commit to, and hit all my leads… hard,” she says. To watch the documentary: http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/ae/music/s_733215.html”

— Justin LaBar, The Pittsburgh Tribune Review: Tarra Layne: Life as a Struggling Musician

"It's time for some slow it down, feel good music to put a smile on your face and bring some sunshine into your day. Suggestion: Tarra Layne. No, it may not be a name you have heard of just yet, but after you listen to her latest release Beautiful Day (also her new video), you will remember this Pittsburgh native. It is a sing-along tune with an upbeat chorus that sure to make you want to hit the repeat button a couple of times. With a smooth clean voice, and some very catchy guitar work in the background, Layne does a nice job of blending different voicings with a catchy beat seemingly tying genres into one unique song. There are actually two versions of this tune, with one she refers to as "The Feel Good Session", which has more focus on background drums, and her voice...

— Mike Taylor, Artist Spotlight: Tarra Layne

“Q: You've sung the anthem at a number of sporting events - how was it performing in front of a large local audience in that kind of venue? A: I absolutely LOVE performing the anthem. It sounds cliché but, it really is an honor leading the tradition. And of course, when the whole stadium stands, takes their hats off-anticipating your first note, it’s an amazing feeling. It only makes me more excited for future performances. For more: http://pittsburghsportsdailybulletin.wordpress.com/2011/10/12/tarra-layne/”
