Chasing Summer

Tammy and Joseph's musical duo was born through a series of beautiful events. It all began with both of them independently meeting their Polish musician friend, Tom, at a music & arts festival in Hungary. After traveling and playing on musical projects with him individually, the two were introduced by Tom. Over crepes at a french cafe in Nashville and playing songs in the livingroom, something romantic and musical began to surface.

Tammy Rochelle, born and raised on the coast of North Carolina, has lived and travelled all over the world. Joseph Bamber hails from Wyoming, was raised in Missouri, and has lived in many different places on the globe. They currently call Nashville, TN home.

Joseph grew up playing piano to old-time country music in the basement with his family. After starting a rock band with his brother, he joined an a cappella group and a black gospel choir in college at Vanderbilt, and then played in Eastern Europe for over 80,000 young people with OneHope. Tammy started singing at age 3 in church, performed at talent shows through high school and picked up piano and guitar along the way. She wrote her first song while in university at 18, began playing shows and recording her songs, and over the past 11 years she has played her music throughout the world via 9 European tours and 5 solo albums.

So, they met, chemistry sparked, they played shows in Nicaragua, Nashville and a summer 2011 European tour together through Germany, Switzerland and Poland. The audiences raved that the duo sounded like "milk and honey" and encouraged them to make a record together. They followed up the tour by recording their first album together in Fall 2011 at the amazing Dark Horse recording studios, slated to release in January 2012. A U.S. tour will begin January - April 2012 and will be followed by a European Summer Tour 2012!
