Tara Lynch is an American guitarist, songwriter, and
multi-instrumentalist. Tara will be releasing her new single “Trustless”
from her forthcoming debut album “Evil Enough” on Friday, February 10,
2017. “Evil Enough” is a melodic metal album full of rich guitar
dominant tracks, all written by Tara Lynch. Along with Tara on all
lead/rhythm guitars, this album features an all-star lineup of
high-profile guest musicians including Tony MacAlpine and Derek
Sherinian (Dream Theater, KISS, Alice Cooper, Yngwie Malmsteen, Billy
Idol) on keyboards, Björn Englen (Yngwie Malmsteen, Tony MacAlpine,
Quiet Riot, Soul Sign, Dio Disciples) and Phil Soussan (Ozzy Osbourne,
Billy Idol, Last In Line) on bass, Brian Tichy (Whitesnake, Billy Idol,
Foreigner, Ozzy Osbourne) and Glen Sobel (Alice Cooper) on drums and the
virtuoso vocals of Mark Boals (Yngwie Malmsteen, Uli Jon Roth, Dokken,
Dio Disciples, Raiding the Rock Vault).
Says Tara, “Both the concept and meaning behind 'Trustless' are
autobiographical. I've been through life's toughest moments and have
come out on the other side much stronger for it. I've decided to tell my
story both for therapeutic reasons and also in hopes that it can relate
to and offer support to others in the same situation.
“The
entire 'Evil Enough' album is a musical autobiography. Very often, the
term 'blood, sweat and tears' is used as a metaphor to describe the work
one puts in to something that they are 110% invested in. This would be
an accurate metaphor where I am concerned. It has been a tremendously
emotional journey into my own soul in order to both write the lyrics
that explain my experiences, as well as write the melodies to convey the
feelings involved within each experience.”
Primarily self-taught, Tara played both electric and acoustic guitar and
wrote songs in her childhood, picking up the bass guitar, drums and
piano along the way. Very serious about her musicianship and the
unending desire to improve, Tara has personally studied guitar with
Steve Vai (Frank Zappa, David Lee Roth, Whitesnake, Alcatrazz), drums
with Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers), bass with Björn Englen (Yngwie
Malmsteen, Tony MacAlpine, Quiet Riot, Soul Sign, Dio Disciples) and
piano with Derek Sherinian (Dream Theater, KISS, Alice Cooper, Yngwie
Malmsteen, Billy Idol).
In 2015, Tara accepted the invitation
from Geert Fiew (founder of Belgian band Beyond the Labyrinth) to write
and perform guitar solos on Beyond the Labyrinth's upcoming fourth
album, “The Art of Resilience”, to be released in early 2017. At the
same time, Tara began writing for her own upcoming debut album, “Evil
Enough”.
On “Evil Enough”, all songs are written by Tara Lynch, who performs all
lead and rhythm guitars, and on some tracks, bass guitar.
“After
knowing her as a friend for many years, I knew it would be fun, but
working with Tara is like holding a Tiger by the tail, she is so full of
talent and energy, knows exactly what she wants and is not afraid to go
for it! It was a really great experience!” - Mark Boals
