Having performed extensively around Metropolitan Washington, DC, in venues including The Kennedy Center, Twinn’s Lounge, Bus Boys & Poets, Westminster Church’s Jazz Night in Southwest, The East Coast Jazz Festival, The id-Atlantic Jazz Festival, The Carlyle Room, The Montpelier Art Center, JoJo’s @ U Street, Alice’s Jazz & Cultural Society (AJACS) and WPFW’s - Live at Five. Tacha began a 2-year run at DC’s historic Mr. Henry’s (2015-2017) in their Ladies of Jazz Series, and, in 2016, was voted one of the top three singers in The Washington City Paper “Best of…” Poll. She has also graced stages in San Francisco, New Orleans, Costa Rica, Australia, Hawaii and England.
Her musical influences include her “holy trinity: Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald and Carmen McRae” Added to that list is Nancy Wilson, Dianne Reeves, Termaine Crouch, Joe Williams, Ronnie Wells, Rebecca Parris, Chet Baker - according to Tacha “we could be here all day with this! I hope I have learned something from everyone I have ever heard sing or play an instrument. Local to national artists, professional singers to those who only sing on Sundays. I think my biggest influence - especially when I first began, were the singers at my church (Little Creek FWB - Ayden, NC & St. Augustine’s Catholic Church - Washington, DC).”
