Tara Breen agus Marty Barry
Tá cur síos déanta ar Tara mar “dhraoi ceoil” ag Music Network agus moltar go hard í mar cheoltóir traidisiúnta Éireannach ó Chontae an Chláir. An an iomad craobhacha Fleidhe uile-Éireann aici, agus sheinn sí le grúpaí cáiliúla mar The Chieftains agus Stockton’s Wing, agus téann sí ar chamchuairteanna idirnáisiúnta leis an triú Breen, Rynne agus Murray agus an banna ceoil nuálach NOTIFY. Eisíodh a céad albam aonair, a raibh feitheamh fada leis, Sooner or Later, go luath in 2025, ag léiriú meascán an-spéisiúil d’fhoinn chlasaiceacha agus bunsaothair, arna dtaifeadadh le Seán Óg Graham agus Dermot Sheedy. Gabhann an t-albam a nasc domhain lena fréamhacha i gContae an Chláir, ag tabhairt ag an am chéanna machnamh smaointeach ar a haistear ceoil. Taobh lena gairmréim thaibhithe, is múinteoir paiseanta í Tara, ag comhroinnt a saineolais trí cheardlanna agus oideachas ceoil.
