Aloe Vera for the soul.

The name Roger Tarry has been synonymous with tender bittersweet melancholy and light countrified tunes since 2002. His debut EP It’s Not You was a triumph of intimate recording attracting airplay from legendary Radio 1 DJ Steve Lamacq prompting listener feedback on the quality and extraordinary beauty of his performance. Proving they can spot a good thing the song was snapped up in 2004 by Sony Pictures TV and has been used on the hit TV series Dawson’s Creek.

Roger and his band have been busy working on new material, culminating in the recording of his first full-length album Last Time I Was There, produced in Riverside Studios, Bath under the watching eye of engineer Seb Pecchia. Together they have produced a record of stunning quality, with lush arrangements that captured the beauty of Roger’s new material, but never lost the delicate narrative that flows through each song. His tender vocals, effortlessly delivered with gossamer touch, mixed with achingly melancholic melodies and a lyrical insight that far outstrips expectation. Cellist Alison Gillies provided the album with it’s finishing touches and tracks such as ‘Driving Song’, ‘So Much Time’, ‘Throwing Stones’ and ‘Walk With Me’ were given an overwhelming reception by all that heard them. Clearly, here is a singer-songwriter ready to take the next step forward.
