For Immediate Release:
Willis, VA. Travianna Records is proud to release Tara Dente's Truth In The Mud worldwide on July 17, 2020.

Tara Dente is an inventive songwriter with a powerful voice and heartfelt, whimsical stylings. She grew up around the sounds of Celtic music and spirituals, later latching on to folk and Americana music. Her finger-picking style is a signature of her sound. As a full band, Tara is known as Tara Dente & The Blind Pilots, and they're happy to have been able to record a full work together for the first time, as will be heard on this album, Truth in the Mud.

TARA DENTE/Truth in the Mud: "This crew came from Asbury Park to record in Virginia and they sound much more like roots rockers than Springsteen. With a heartland attitude and outlook, Dente and her gang come in with some meaty, juicy Americana that hits you between the eyes with it’s authenticity and power. With no affectation, she goes right for the heart and the jugular, hitting her targets with ease. Solid folk flavored stuff throughout.
(Travianna 2004100)" -Chris Spector / Midwest Record

Tara speaks about the first single from the new record: "‘Hill So Steep’ is about a dream I had. In the dream, I was driving up a hill so steep, I felt like I was climbing the steepest roller coaster with no belt on or bar to hold me in and would just fall out. The dream certainly reflected difficult circumstances happening in my life at the time. I was a server at a popular restaurant in my town and did well in tips that day. As soon as I turned the corner walking to my car after work, I noticed it, as well as a slew of other cars, had been towed. The dollar amount it took to get my car back from the auto shop was the exact amount I had made that day in tips. That night, I had the dream. Sometimes you take a step forward, and then take a step right back. But then another day, you'll take three steps forward. You just have to hang in there the best you can…. and look for the next right thing.” – Tara Dente
