MySpace a place for friends

Inspired by a wide range of singer songwriters including Bob Dylan, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder and Ben Harper, his music shows a great love for melody, diverse rhythms and songs that have something to say.

Tarun recorded his first EP more than 10 years ago with the Brisbane heavy metal grunge band Revelation. In the mid-90s, he toured extensively with the Sydney-based funk rock band Four. And in 1998 he scored a place as a solo artist on the US music sampler, 105 best bands you’ve never heard.

Since 2005, Tarun has been touring throughout Australia, New Zealand and SE Asia singing and speaking everywhere from coffee houses, churches, youth groups, homeless shelters, orphanages, festivals to fund raisers and “…anywhere else that will have me…”.

His first full-length album, “Psalms for the Broken”, is packed with strong, engaging songs with special relevance to all of us who struggle at different times in our lives. “The main goal of my music is to connect with people, especially at their points of pain or struggle,” Tarun says. “Hopefully through sharing my own experiences, I can offer a message of hope.”

Tarun’s long awaited second album “Something Old Something New” was released on July 18th and will see Tarun perform over 100 shows as he heads out on the road for most of 2008 – 2009 to promotes the new album. Dates to be announced

Both Psalms for the Broken and Something Old Something New are available at www.tarunstevenson.com and iTunes
