   About Tarka
..Tarka was born for rock and roll.... never conforming to the system he left his head clear to express his life in his songs, and his life so far has been a full and wild ride. His passion for tone and action led him from London to learn his craft way down where it all began in Louisiana. Not New Orleans, but to the swamps he walked, with nothing but his guitar and a couple of chords.

They liked the way he played those chords - so much so that soon he couldn't turn up at any show without being invited on stage. He played with the best of them for years and before he left he produced three legendary Louisiana albums: for CC Adcock and Steve Riley - now recognized as classics; he did stints in the studio with legends Jimmy Miller and Jack Nitszche; even Keith Richards took the time out to school and mature Tarka's guitar playing.

He then headed for New York City and hooked up with bad boy Evan Dando for a couple of years cause he wanted to learn how to pen a song or two. The wild dogs ran. His debut album is now ready under the title of "Wide Awake in a Dream". It is a simple and compelling story of his heady days in New York City, it is as original and fresh as it is timeless.

Dear TC,

You turned me onto the best music I've ever known, and in that dream showed me things I'd never seen, for that I am forever indebted.

Always thinking of you,

Thanks for Rick D's pick and for saying goodbye,

"Gonna do everything, silver and gold"

See you next then for another rendition of the Weight...

All and everything

H.x.

Tarka – I admire your work. I dropped by to say how much I enjoyed the guitar work you guys did on Little Star – but you’re not here. I planned to contact you at some point in the future about producing the songs and film score for Big Sky. The scope is gonna be there musically – stretched out and wild – which is why I thought of you. I’ll find a way to get it done for you then; you can send me a little producin' vibe from the Sky. Little Star, goodnight.

Wide awake in a dream...
i say goodbye to you, my brother...
and all the beautiful music we made together brings a smile to my face.
Your sound kissed , touched and inspired every record that came out of my studio.
And the saga continues.
I love you brother.
May you be happy wherever you are.
