Southern-born, New York City-based Tara Leigh Cobble has spent the past eight years building an indie empire, and it runs as fast and direct as a subway train. This spring she announces the release of a new book and album within months of each other. Crowded Skies: Letters to Manhattan is the follow-up to her first book, Here's to Hindsight: Letters to My Former Self (RELEVANT), a spiritual memoir which prompted reviewers to hail her as "the female Donald Miller." Meanwhile, she's finalizing her sixth album, Playing Favorites.
TLC's albums feature many of her friends and influences: Matt Wertz, Dave Barnes, Brandon Heath, Josh Wilson, Kemper Crabb, and members of Caedmon's Call. As if that weren't enough, the trifecta of noteworthy magazines for 20- and 30-somethings, RELEVANT, RELEVANT Leader, and Radiant regularly feature her articles. Last year found her contributing to The Voice (Thomas Nelson), The One Year Life Verse Devotional (Tyndale), and Songs From The Voice, Vol. II: Son of the Most High.
Whether playing, leading worship, or speaking at a conference, TLC has a phenomenal ability to disarm any audience with her quick wit and engaging stage presence. She casts a lasting impression amongst fans and critics alike and has participated in 1,700+ events for singles, college students, women's groups, and youth groups across 42 states. And she's only just begun.
Ft. Worth Star-Telegram:
"Her lyrics often seem blazed together by a voice that holds comparison to Sheryl Crow."
Nashville Rage:
"...edgier take on Natalie Merchant-style songwriting."
Christian Single:
"[There are] many achievements that this indie veteran conveys on her latest [album] - a true must-have for acoustic rock / progressive folk aficionados."
Things to come... 3 days ago
Over the next week, I'm going to do a lot of blogging about women, men, and relationships. This is due in part to the fact that I've been asked to speak on the topic, and I want to get your feedback about my commentary so that I don't end up saying anything stupid. Hah! :)...

Unfortunately, no. I'd love to go though. If you need tips on attractions to visit, I'd talk to Brooklynn, she lives somewhere in England so I'm sure she's knowledgable on the topic. Hope you're havin' fun!
