“Tucker is not only fantastic; she’s like a character out of a fantasy novel. She weaves myth and magic into her lyrics as easily as a strain of cello, a lick of something electric, the chuffing of a train engine…Tucker has a knack – no, a genius – for weaving old ways with new.”
–C. S. E. Cooney, blackgate.com
“S. J. Tucker sounds like no one else out there. I’m not sure if she is fairy, shape-shifter, otherworldly, or just a super intelligent, super perceptive young woman…Critics have compared her voice to Joni Mitchell and Tori Amos, her guitar style to Emily Saliers. I believe she is a complete original coming straight from Neverland where Magick is real.”
—Phil King, Audiofuzz.com

BIG September news + online show Sept 15!
I’ve got some pretty cool news to share: there’s something I might get to sing about if it hits a few development goals over the next couple of weeks (Psst: it’s Mercedes Lackey + Ben Dobyns + me, if we are very, very fortunate.) Go here to check it out: https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/zombie-orpheus-entertainment/mercedes-lackey-s-grandmaster-a-deluxe-valdemar-anthology
I may be collaborating on a single, and possibly an entire album, of Mercedes Lackey’s lyrics about her Valdemar books, with my buddy Ben Dobyns as composer, as early as next week! Ben and I had a business meeting over the phone about it yesterday, during which they confessed to me that they’d been writing music for these lyrics (with Mercedes Lackey’s enthusiastic blessing) with my voice in their head the whole time. I’m trying not to hang my heart on it since the campaign hasn’t yet reached that first development goal, but Ben’s praise and enthusiasm, plus the fact that Mercedes Lackey fans have already asked for the songs, AND that Mercedes Lackey & Larry Dixon are all in…it’s all the encouragement a person could ask for. Ben, whose work you may know from the multimedia Strowlers universe & Zombie Orpheus Entertainment projects, helped me film my “Neptune” video AND directed my parody “D&D” music video for the DVD of The Gamers: the Dorkness Rising in 2010. I’ve never had anything but beautiful experiences working with them.
NEXT ONLINE SHOW this Sunday at 2pm Central: Haunted By Honeysuckle, poems from Kat Heatherington & songs from me: https://onlineconcertthing.com/product/s-j-tucker-2024-09-15t1400-cdt/
My next in-person show will be October 5 at Nashville Pagan Pride Day! Let me know if you plan to be there. Nashville PPD was one of the very first events to hire me to perform back during my first years on the road, so I’m honored to return! More info: https://www.nashvillepaganprideday.net/
