DARA STARR TUCKER
@daratuckerb
Dara Starr Tucker is making her mark in the world of music and activism as a singer and social commentator. Her latest album, Dreams of Waking: Music For A Better World (2021), was featured on Grammy.com and in American Songwriter Magazine. On the album, Tucker embraces the urgent, topical works of songwriters of the protest era, along with her own compositions, as vessels for justice awareness, instruction and healing. Last summer, the album reached #7 on the Jazzweek National Radio Charts.
Dara’s eclecticism is guided by the diversity of her narrative. Born in Tulsa, Oklahoma to a family of singers and ministers, she and her siblings traveled across the central plains and pacific northwestern United States as young children singing with their parents. Her fascination with musicals and particularly "The Sound of Music" piqued her interest in the culture of various German-speaking regions and the struggle for global human rights. After earning a degree in International Business and German Studies, Tucker moved to Switzerland to further study the German language and was reunited with her passion for music and began writing original songs. That passion for songwriting and singing led her back across the Atlantic to Nashville, Tennessee as a band leader, songwriter and featured vocalist for many years, then to New York, NY and now Philadelphia, PA.
Dara toured briefly as a member of hybrid guitarist Charlie Hunter's trio and appeared on NPR's Jazz
Night in America’s episode on Nashville. Dara has performed at Central Jersey Jazz Festival, Newark Museum of Art Jazz Series, Birdland (VocalMania), Smoke Jazz Club, Saratoga Jazz Festival and Minton's.
Tucker's clever and information-packed cultural commentary on human rights, music, diversity, and political consciousness has earned her over over 864,000 followers as a social media influencer on the platform, TikTok.
Dara will release her new album on Green Hill Music in June 2023.
