After picking up a bass guitar when he was fifteen, he has since aimed to share personal and fictional stories with a guitar and voice.
Listeners to his music will sense his propensity for “alt-Americana” music, his incipient love for bands like REM and Dinosaur Jr, and his voice which has the same signature stamp of star vocalists like Ben Gibbard from Death Cab for Cutie and James Mercer from the Shins.
Tarka's music has been featured in media outlets including Pennsylvania Musician, WRVV 97.3, WITF, Americana Highways, Relix, NPR's "Morning Edition," Country Fried Rock, and The Big Takeover. Recently, Tarka received a 2025 Nomination for Best Folk Artist by the Central Pennsylvania Music Hall of Fame.
