Episode 04: Tanya Sieber
Tanya Sieber is a mother of two, an entrepreneur, and a vessel through which music is manifested and shared.
She has sailed many musical seas, including being baptized by Pink Floyd's The Wall at age eight, playing bass guitar in a band in her college years, to today, in which she finds her singer/songwriter self frequenting the recording studio and releasing original tracks out into the ether. Or the ethos. Take your pick.
Follow her on Instagram (@tanyasieber.music), Twitter (@MusicSieber), or Facebook (Tanya Sieber Music) for social-media updates. More importantly, you can access her music on bandcamp (tanyasieber.bandcamp.com), which appears to be a digital source for music streaming that maybe puts a little more coin in the artist's pocket than others might, so please consider supporting her there.
Regardless, you can find both her 2021 album, Beautiful Scars, and her brand-new single "Marked" there on her bandcamp. As for her yet-to-be-released single, "Sweet Night," dig in here to Episode #4 of Badass Records for a sneak listen.
We talked a lot about her stuff in this conversation, but we also dabbled in Soundgarden, Jethro Tull, and a heavy dose of Sheryl Crow, not to mention sundry others.
A few notes from the backside of the production glass:
1) The Badass Records Podcast has a slogan, and that slogan is, Badass Records, where the doorbell rings and the dog barks. Only took three and-a-half episodes for that to become truth.
2) Late in the episode, a ticking or a static sound of some sort becomes audible. I don't know what it is or what caused it, but I heard it during both the recording and editing processes, and am as aware of its existence as I am my inability to remedy it.
3) I didn't mute our mics (because I didn't and don't know any better) when we listened to Tanya's tracks, so if you're hearing a faint echo of sorts in or around those three segments, that's why.
copywright disclaimer(s): I do not own the rights to the intro/outro audio tracks; they are The Deadbeats' "Funky for You" (from their 2021 album, Lounging) c/o Space Hopper, and Morcheeba's "Be Yourself" (from their 2000 record called Fragments of Freedom), c/o China Records, Ltd. I do, however, have permission to play Mrs. Sieber's stuff on both the Internet and on YouTube, because -- Duh, Admiral Algorithm -- she's the guest of the episode and the owner of the content.
