The die was cast when Tammy Weis came into the world. After all, what do you expect being named after Tammy Wynette by a country music loving mom? But it was Jazz music that would eventually capture her imagination and her heart. It was whilst listening to Sarah Vaughan's version of 'Over the Rainbow' that Tammy realized that she could avoid her destiny no more. It was time to use her gift to fulfill the dream she shared with her mother and record an album.
She released "Legacy", featuring sensitive and beautiful new readings of standards. Dedicated to her mother, the songs are dear to them both, and the carefully-chosen repertoire showcases a voice of depth, quality and individuality. Since the release of her album she has graced the stages of Canada's finest jazz venues, and performed at the Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal Jazz festivals. Notable highlights include a memorable performance at the legendary Russian Tea Room in New York City, a string of live performances on national television and radio, including Canada AM, CBC, Global, and Star TV. She has also been featured in Jazzwise magazine and has had radio play on the BBC.
Since coming to London, she has been collaboration on and off the bandstand with other singers and writers including Jamie Cullum, Terry Britten (Tina Turner), Tim Fraser (Lulu) Ian Shaw and Cleveland Watkiss.

Brilliant show last night, Tammy! It was so nice to have met you. I wish I was not moving away from the UK so that I could see you again at Ronnie Scotts. I love the cd as well (I've already listened to it twice since I got home last night!). Best of luck to you and I look forward to hearing you again in the future!
