Bio: 2012 Asbury Music Award Winner for TOP FEMALE VOCALIST.

"One of the Jersey Shore’s most-talked about women in rock. Tara Elliott & The Red Velvets are the type of gritty, in-your-face rock ‘n’ roll that harkens back to the sweaty days of CBGBs in the 1970s. However, this red rocker is just more ... See Full Bio

Press

"No offense to the plethora of bands who’ve played our shows, but Tara Elliott & The Red Velvets delivered one of the all-time best performances in Shipwrecked’s history. This band tore the house down, receiving some of the most raucous and passionate applause we’ve heard at our shows. It was a 45 minute set of smokin’ electric blues and rock ‘n’ roll. Elliott’s vocals were rich and powerful, evoking the sounds of the queens of blues from the days of yore. The entire crowd was in awe of this band’s performance."

— Bill Bodkin, Editor, Pop-Break.com

"Power trio Tara Elliott & The Red Velvets, who hail from Long Branch, invoke the raunchy mix of blues and punk pioneered by Iggy & the Stooges."

— Jim Testa, The Star Ledger

"The Bastard Child of Janis Joplin and the Stooges"

— Thomaxe, New York Waste Newspaper

"Maiuro fell in love with the band the first time she went to a show but was really moved by one song, “Take The Time.” This song is one of the band’s softer hits about telling those you love how you feel."

— Cathleen Leitch, The Rider News

"Her ability to hold the attention of hipsters, rockers and blues maniacs means mastery over the common social denominator button and most importantly, possible attention from the ever jaded music industry looking for something that’s not phony bullshit."

— Contributing Editor, John Pfeiffer, The Aquarian and East Coast Rocker

"These days, Elliott can be found wowing audiences as part of the power trio Tara Elliott and The Red Velvets, a down-and-dirty combo whose raw sound and red-hot energy recall the days when trash rockers like the New York Dolls and their musical offspring prowled the streets of New York City."

— Associate Producer, Alex Biese, Asbury Park Press Metromix Entertainment Guide

"OK, let's get right down to it: if you like your rock ‘n' roll to be raw, honest and a little on the trashy side, then there's no reason you shouldn't be at the Wonder Bar in Asbury Park on Saturday (Feb. 20) when the club gets rocked by Steve Conte and the Crazy Truth and Tara Elliott and the Red Velvets."

— Associate Producer, Alex Biese, Asbury Park Press Metromix Entertainment Guide

"With a booming voice and a solid rocking/punk band behind her she kicked ass! She was one part Meat Loaf, one part Romeo Void, one part Janis Joplin, and one part Iggy Pop. She's definitely someone to keep an eye on. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised at all to see a future Asbury Music Award nomination for top female vocalist for her and that tremendously powerful voice."

— Gary Wein, New Jersey Stage

"While Jayne County or Johnny Thunders were nowhere to be found, Tara brought back the age of colored vinyl through her vibrant outfit alone."

— Donnie G., The Rag
