About Tanya:
Music history. . . Imagine it: 1970s shag carpeting, browns, reds, oranges, up to my knees in the room I shared with my little brother growing up in St. Cloud, Minnesota. The living room’s centerpiece: a stereo with record player, and me, kneeling in front of it from the time I was old enough to say, “Mom, play this.” Kenny Rogers. Anne Murray. Abba. Neil Diamond. Dad played Mozart, Beetoven, and bluegrass of all kinds. Tapes and shoe-box sized tape players ushered in my next wave of music listening outside the living room, as I took Pat Benatar, Duran Duran, and all the big-hair bands of the 1980s into bedrooms and back yards and front steps and pressed the “play” button.
Thank God my older brother worked as a DJ at his college radio station, because he sent me early R.E.M., the Sundays, Nine Inch Nails, the Creatures. Life with roommates in Northeast Portland, Oregon, brought me to the musical brilliance of the early 1990s: k.d. lang, Jane Siberry, Salt n’ Peppa, the Indigo Girls, Ani DiFranco. Mix all these with Joan Armatrading, Lucinda Williams, Bonnie Raitt, and the likes of Veruca Salt, Luscious Jackson, Team Dresch, and maybe it makes sense that I have a hard time naming one or two musical influences.
