About
Tamarack Cunningham is an Edmonton singer-songwriter who blends garage rock, jazz, traditional Metis folk into angry, musically ambitious indie-prog-folk.
People keep calling me a folk singer, which isn’t wrong, exactly. Certainly, there are superficial similarities (acoustic guitar, shaggy hair, plaid shirts). I’ve spent years working in a garage band, a jazz ensemble, a métis dance band, an afropop group and a mexican son jarocho collective, and I’m still exploring and combining those influences. These projects have made me an ambitious technical musician and an idiosyncratic lyricist. I strive for energetic music, strong hooks, and making the audience move. I took the name Tamarack because it helps me break out a little farther from the expectations of singer-songwriter folk; to play a little louder, to compose in different, sometimes challenging ways, to write weirder, wilder songs. And also because I like trees.
