About Taarka
“Their voices sound fantastic together…Enion is a marvelous violin player, and David is her equal on mandolin and guitar.” -No Depression
Taarka seamlessly fuses brilliant instrumental chops with songwriting of great depth and creativity, cooking up musical “sustenance that stays with you long after you’ve pushed away from the table.” Adventurers through the many landscapes of music and true world travelers, veterans of 1000-year floods and veggie oil tour buses, David (voice, mandolin, guitar, and octave mandolin) and Enion Pelta-Tiller (voice, 5-string violin) spin stories and melodies that delight, inspire, and move all who listen. Now joined by their son, 17 year old bass prodigy Aesop Pelta-Tiller, Taarka embodies the most cohesive and entrancing version of their music.
Taarka and its members have performed with members of Old and In the Way, the Grateful Dead, Phish, and String Cheese Incident, and shared stages with Linda Ronstadt, The Decembrists, Darrel Scott, John Cowan, Yonder Mountain String Band, Peter Rowan, Darol Anger, Joe Craven, ALO, Keller Williams, Danny Barnes, Steve Kimock, Taj Mahal, Widespread Panic, The Samples, and Aquarium Rescue Unit, Kaki King, Rob Wasserman, Tony Furtado, The Motet, Dan Bern and The Everyone Orchestra.
Taarka has performed at major festivals across the continent including Festival International de Chihuahua (MX), Music Fest Vancouver (CA), High Sierra, Pagosa Folk n’ Bluegrass, The Britt Festivals, Joshua Tree Music Festival, Oregon Country Fair, Sisters Folk Festival, Telluride Bluegrass, Mendocino Music Festival, Bumbershoot, Seattle Folklife, The Millpond Folk Festival and many more, and has been a guest at Bluegrass Underground and Music City Roots, both in Nashville.
Gifted teachers as well as performers, Enion and David have offered workshops at music schools and camps from Mark O’Connor’s String Conference in San Diego to Escola Municipal de Musica Folk e Tradicional in Vigo, Spain.
