I am an award winning singer, songwriter and multi instrumentalist trying to bring the essence of live music to online videos.
The majority of the videos I share are live, one take videos with no overdubs. Some of them are songs I’ve just learned, some are old favourites and some are my original compositions. They’re not meant to perfect but they are meant to be musical and I hope you enjoy them.
If you have a request, pop it into the comments!
You can hear me perform with my bands Maggie’s Wake and The Rizdales. Find us at www.maggieswake.com and www.rizdales.com.
I have heard so often this song ( in french) but I also like the english version. I feel each line or word is so true, for of us....but we realize it more once we get old. So now I feel have to to think, not of yesterday or tomorrow but just today, now..and here. Thank you for your beautiful performance, and yes, that's a good ( very good) song. Big Like 👍
aw Ben, you're sweet. I just love this song, I sang it this afternoon for two groups of seniors and it was so lovely, everyone just closed their eyes and sang along. It transported us all!
He took care of Sinead O’Connor at Madison Square Garden when the audience were unkind to her, also wrote Sister Sinead about her , may they both rest in peace
I think this is one of your best so far! I remember Perry Como being at the top of our U.K. charts with his version and even though I was a teenager more used to rougher rocky stuff like Slade and The Sweet I always liked it!
I discovered John Prine late, after his death, when RU-vidr friends shared some tribute songs. I love his song, great lyrics. Bravo Tara for this beautidul cover of one of my favorite song from him. Big Like 78 👍: Oh, my kids are now grown up,..this is done ( maybe it's not the right english, héhé).
I saw John Prine in concert once and it was amazing. I was relatively new to his music but I became a huge fan immediately after experiencing him sing them live. Such a great talent, gone way too soon.
What a very nice and soft performance of this beautiful song. Bravo 👏. We can feel the emotion while doing this tribute for this great artist....even here in France it was on the news. May he rest in peace. Thank you for sharing this video. Like 👍
A wonderful acknowledgment of all Kris Kristofferson brought to this world of ours. A beautifully sensitive and emotional performance of this classic song. Thank you, Tara.
I don't play it (yet!) but my husband does. He's also a multi instrumentalist and a fantastic singer. One day I'll convince him to do a video with me here!
I've been on a Gordon Lightfoot bender lately, listening to the 1972 Don Quixote album, and this is the last song on it. It is such a perfect song, and rarely covered by anyone. So, I really appreciated this female cover of it and thought it was, well, BEAUTIFUL! Thanks Tara!
