Austin just HAS to welcome Tahni Handal. Just ask anyone who attended her CD release party on Sunday night at Ruta Maya. She just has this drive, this sense of searching for herself and her music, her place in the sun... Read more... (Dec. 7, 2004 Archive)

Read about her December 5th Show at Ruta Maya: Top 40 Charts and PR Web

U Da Bomb! I sure enjoyed your show last week at Ruta Mayas. Your wonderful material, your most pleasing emotional vocals, and your great stage presence were enough to overcome any and all speed bumps. And Emme Lou was spectacular! You should be as proud of yourself as you are of her. You both rock! I can't seem to get some of your hauntingly beautiful melodies out of my head, even days after the show, which is something I've always recognized as the sign of being exposed to a great singer/songwriter. In a world where most songwriters are one hit wonders, your songs are all unique and touching. It just makes me want to give you a big hug. Steve G.

I met you at a weird (but wonderfully effecient non-gov operation) little post office. I'm very into the Austin Music Scene and couldn't help saying something to you after overhearing you and another woman talking about music. You were nice...and then came back in and gave me a CD. It's GREAT! I LOVE IT! Very, Very Cool!

I really love your music and am inspired by what you doing and what you are about.

Maybe it is the mom in me, but I really like hearing Emme Lou at the beginning and end of the La La Land song. Her voice is sooo cute and gives a new/different dimension to the song; you could be singing about a lover or her. It was fun for me to listen and figure it out.

Hey,Tahni- My cats were trippin on your video. They always pass thru over my desk when I'm doing bookkeeping, but I started the video and they hung out the whole time. Especially interested in that cute puppy. AWESOME VIDEO! And just as w/your CD, your voice is amazing! LIZ

I heard the Eklektikos show you did- I enjoyed your music very much.

I wanted to let you know that I listened to your CD and I though it was really good. Honestly I'm impressed with the sound and the songs. The new trks are cool as well. I don't know the names of the songs but the first one is cool and funky. I listened to it just a few minutes ago and my initial impression was it was a bit disjointed,,but in a good way. Like Cubism. There was one part the piano came in out of nowhere. Also I like the effects on the voice. It's a nice contrast going from smooth to distorted... I'm going to give it another listen in my car on the way home. Cheers.

Hiya Tahni- Thanx for the CD today. I definetly liked it. When I was out this weekend a friend of mine asked me if I liked the music playing at Carlos and Charlies. I told him that I tend to listen to music according to mood and I can appreciate only 2 types of music...good and bad.--Yours is really good in my opinion. I especially like the amount of thought you put into the lyrics. Obviously it was alot. I look forward to hearing more in the future. I'd like to see a show.
