Robert is a prolific songwriter, Sean just put out a 2-CD set of his music while going to college, and Tara is going to grad school in English.
Music
Tara says: My favorite musicians are ones I know! Besides them, my favorite songwriters right now are Nanci Griffith and Michelle Shocked, but I am also a huge Paul Simon fan. I listen to old Fleetwood Mac; Tracy Chapman; Peter, Paul & Mary; the Stones; Matchbox 20; and lots and lots of blues.
Books
Tara says: Don't get me started -- I'm in grad school, for heaven's sakes. Read Toni Morrison's Beloved, or anything on Oprah's list.
About me: Tara and the Firestarters are an eclectic acoustic band located in Wichita, Kansas which regularly features Tara Carr (vocals, guitar), Robert Baker (guitar, vocals),and Sean Borst (percussion). We like classic rock and blues as well as folk and bluegrass, and we love to hook up with other musicians for a good jam.
