Trisha Tamblyn

Trisha grew up in a mountain town in northern Wyoming, and moved to St. Louis in 2018. Her family had a unique musical identity, in that every person had their own individualized taste. Her father was a classic rock fiend, whereas her mother was deep into the country landscape. They merged their two loves together and created a sound for the home that was truly original. In fact, Trisha was named after country music star Trisha Yearwood!

While she never had much of a taste for country, Trisha began to form a love of folk music and the honest storytelling that came with it. Soon, she would find that her own style related more closely to that of her sister's punk-rock life. The roar of guitars, heartbeats in the drums, and sinking into the pounding bass became Trisha's new home. 

Trisha was diagnosed with an incurable condition in the winter of 2014 called Chiari Malformation. There are treatments available, but no bonafide cure to this condition. Since learning of her own diagnosis and learning the stories of others who are included in this group, Trisha has vowed to create music for as long as she can - for them. Chiari affects many parts of the brain, but in Trisha's case (as with most), the cerebellum is the most affected. When she was diagnosed, she was told that after her surgery, she would likely not be able to sing and dance for a long time, if ever again. 

Once she was in recovery from the surgery, Trisha worked every day to build back her chops. Since then, she has began teaching private vocal lessons to all ages, as well as working in the community to raise awareness for this condition. She makes music to give a voice to those who wouldn't otherwise have one, and performs to show others who are struggling with any condition that there is light at the end of the tunnel, and all things are possible at some point.
