Taryn Donath

My name is Taryn, and I am a musician from San Diego,Ca. I have been playing the piano for almost twenty years, and performing professionally for almost 14 of those years…...I discovered blues at the age of eleven, and since then I have expanded my playing style from blues to west coast swing, chicago blues, and even a bit of western swing. I would describe my playing as tenacious and deliberate. Some people say my voice is very strong, but I like to sing more relaxed and natural best. I try my best to bring excitement and spontaneity to every performance. I feel music is one of the most precious gifts in this universe. It has the ability to take you places you have never been before, and it can also make you feel right at home. I play blues, jazz and swing, but I love all kinds of music. I perform all over the San Diego and Orange County area….although I haven’t traveled in sometime, I would jump at the opportunity to take a flight anywhere! I have been focusing my energy on writing songs for a new western swing album, hopefullly out this year…I play with several groups in the area- Blue Largo, , Billy Watson, Ronnie Lane and The Twisters, and I also perform with musicians that I put together for various occasions. I love doing what I do, and I can only hope to grow musically and spiritually with each passing season…....
