Teresa’s story
TERESA TUDURY started writing songs at age 12 and was performing in San Francisco nightclubs by the time she was 15. She has played on and off in the Bay Area for years, and for almost two decades was based in Los Angeles where in addition to music gigs, she wrote comedy and worked as a character actress on stage and screen.
With a deep, sultry voice that magnetizes audiences, and a scathing comedic wit to match, Teresa is a consummate performer who pours out her original songs with power, verve, passion, and disarming humor. Teresa's voice has been described as a cross between Bette Midler and Bonnie Raitt (LA Weekly). Her vocal stylings are perfectly complemented by her bluesy guitar playing.
Throughout her career, Teresa has recorded or performed with such greats as Leonard Cohen, Rickie Lee Jones, Lyle Lovett, Taj Mahal, Leo Kottke, Charlie Musselwhite and Bonnie Bramlett. Now residing in New Mexico, Teresa continues to perform and write new material. She has just released Perhaps You’ve Heard of Me, her latest CD. Her earlier recordings Teresa Tudury (1991), River Of Life (2001), Such Fine Things (2009), Love Letters (2011), and West of Paradise (2015), are available on Spotify, and the CDs can be purchased directly from Teresa at her live performances. With these recordings and a steady stream of concert appearances, Teresa is a gifted artist in her prime.
