Tami Hart (born December 2, 1980) is an American singer-songwriter from South Carolina who was part of the Riot Grrrl movement of the 1990s. Hart's music, a combination of country, punk, and rock and roll, draws from her background growing up in the south as a queer youth. [1]
Early life
[edit]Tami Hart was born to a Marine. She was raised in Beaufort, South Carolina.[1] Having grown up in an environment "surrounded by ultra-religious homophobia," Hart "funneled her energies into her music from a very early age".[2] She was introduced to queer culture and music through a pen-pal program for queer youth. She came out as lesbian at age 16, and began writing songs at age 17. [1]
Career
[edit]Tami Hart's music career began while still a high school student in South Carolina, when she was signed to Mr. Lady Records in 1999. She stayed with Mr. Lady till they closed in 2004.[3]
At age 19, Hart's debut album, No Light in August, was described in The New York Times by Ann Powers as being one of the best albums of 2000.[4] During that time, Hart toured with bands such as Sleater-Kinney, Indigo Girls, The Butchies, Le Tigre.[5] Kathleen Hanna praised No Light In August as "One of my all-time favorite albums.”[6] 2005-2007 Tami's band with Kelly Harris album Winning Looks was produced by Kathleen Hannah.[7]
In 2002 Tami's second album, What Passed Between Us (Mr. Lady Records), received a score of 8.0 on Pitchfork, which is considered a high rating on the platform, often signifying a "Best New Music" designation.[8]
From 2008-2012 Hart teamed up with Daniel Scott Erickson to form their "electro-rock"[9] band Making Friendz, expanding Hart's musical vernacular from "noise-punk, garage rock" and country into "pop and R&B".[10] Making Friendz toured extensively across the U.S., from music venues, colleges/ universities, to art spaces, such as The New Museum.[11] Making Friendz' album Social Life was released in 2011.[12] Making Friendz songs: Situations and Yr Shadow were featured in movies, TV, and in advertisements (i.e. Dick's Sporting Goods campaigns[13]).
From 2011-2013 Tami was the bassist for JD Samson's MEN and continued working with JD on her solo projects afterwards.[12]
After an eight-year hiatus, Hart released her EP Sorry For Your Heart in 2023, which featured album art by painter Amy Sillman.[14] Her 13 track self-titled album will be released in late 2025 with Don Giovanni Records.
