Tanya Ransom delivers her signature sound of folk blues and alt country, painting a vivid narrative amongst ornate melodies. Her powerful vocals inhabit the sweet spot between tough and tender, effortlessly accompanied by her laid-back rhythm guitar.
A regular to the Australian touring circuit, Tanya has performed at Cygnet Folk Festival, Nannup Music Festival, Blues at Bridgetown, Fairbridge Festival, North West Fest and supported the likes of Kate Miller-Heidke, Missy Higgins, Boy and Bear, Tim Rogers and John Butler.
A product of her musical upbringing, having lived 20 years in the remote northwest town of Broome, Ransom’s ability to connect with audiences is undeniable, bringing a deep emotion to her already cavernous feelings carried within her stories and songs.
“Wise, accomplished, honest music that’s worth taking a moment to absorb. You won’t regret it.”
Dan Condon, Double J
“Tanya's songs feel like a deep dive into a time, place and sentiment. Her lyrics are flowering vignettes seeking to make sense of the complexities of the human condition."
Danielle Caruana, Mama Kin
“Tanya’s voice, like that of Tracy McNeil and Liz Stringer, inhabits the sweet spot between tough and tender. It’s weathered and learned and you get a real sense that she’s either lived the scenarios she’s singing of or she knows someone who has.”
