InfluencesNina Simone, Rachelle Ferrell, the late great Shirley Horn are some wonderful jazz singers whose ability to evoke and transform the music to it's most potent emotional essence are those that I admire. Jeff Buckley and the lovely Rufus Wainwright are the romantic princes of my heart. Predecessors I admire are those that are iconic in their originality and powerfully soulful - Billie Holiday, Bowie, Kate Bush, Astor Piazolla, Me'shell N'degeocello, Ravel, Duke Ellington, Dolly Parton, Celia Cruz, Marvin Gaye... and those out now that I watch and admire: bebel gilberto, jill scott, diamande galas, bjork, norah jones, ani difranco, tom waits, radiohead, arto lindsay.....

   About Teri Untalan
..Welcome to my space, darlin!
For even more info and news or to sign up on my regional based fan mail elist please go to my website: teri untalan dot com

CD's available at: CD Baby, iTunes.com, BlackLava.org, MusicMillenium & In Other Words in Portland, OR and at The Bazaar Cafe in San Francisco.

Her self titled 2004 CD is a mostly solo acoustic journey. Dark & personal, charming & engaging drawing comparisions to songwriters like Jeff Buckley, Norah Jones & Ani Difranco, but an overpowering soulfulness and sensualness that likens to Nina Simone & Bebel Gilberto. Teri has spent the last 3 years performing her material up and down the West Coast from LA to Olympia, WA in preparation and support of her 2004 self titled CD. A graduate of Berklee College of Music in Boston (where she studied with jazz violinist Matt Glazer), she moved to the Bay Area to study with Katrina Wreede (formerly of Turtle Island String Quartet).

She went on to record or perform with numerous artists, most notably: guitar star Buckethead (formerly of Guns and Roses), SF electronica group Westside Chemical, former Prince guitarist Miko, & Bay Area, LA artists: David Hopkins, Brad Brooks, Austin Willacy, Butch Berry, Rich McCulley & Duff Ferguson among a few. With various groups or incarnation of her music she has played almost every club in San Francisco including the old Paradise Lounge, The Hotel Utah, Cafe Du Nord, The Plush Room (with the 1995 Mr. Nobodys Caberet of Life), The Bazaar Cafe, Tongue & Groove, The Revolution Cafe, Amnesia, Bottom of the Hill. She has also been a active with a number of Asian American arts communities, performing for APAture (a multidisciplinary exhibit for Young Asian Pacific American artists), SF international Asian American Film Festival, Locus Arts.org, and most recently she was selected to be a showcase performer for the 2005 Asian American Music Conference Artist Showcase. In March 2005, she was also featured on KRON Ch. 4 (San Francisco/Hawaii), Pacific Fusion TV magazine and interviewed for Asian Week newspaper.

Teri has recently relocated to her native Portland, OR and hit the ground running performing and getting involved with local community efforts in education and the arts. She is now writing and in pre-production for her next album.

I miss Portland. And Ladies Rock Camp. And you. And pretty blue drinks. Ok, not so much the drinks. Thanks for such an amazing experience. I don't know how we would have come outta there with a real song if it weren't for you. And Tera. And Bob. And everyone. My experience ranks right up there with giving birth, and I mean that in the most awesome, amazing, life changing way.
Wow, I guess this could have been an email.
