Aly Tadros

"The name is Greek but, once you talk to Aly Tadros, you always end up in Egypt or Pakistan" - San Antonio Current.

When Aly was offered her first paid gig, she had three original songs under her belt . The set time was for two hours. She took it anyways.

Spacious and melodic, salty and moving, Aly Tadros' alternative folk stylings tempts each listener out of the vacuum-sealed sterility of every day life.  Her finger-picking classical guitar writhes on the floor of the mind, haunted by the honesty of her lyrics.  Her influences range from the off-kilter Tom Waits, to the commanding Ani DiFranco, to the captivating Fiona Apple, leaving the listener to feel seduced, loved, left and wizened.  In addition to her influences, Aly is frequently compared with the likes of Rachael Yamagata and Jolie Holland.

Before flamenco lessons and tennis tournaments, Aly first wowed audiences as a Fish in a community theater showing of The Little Mermaid in her home town – Laredo, Texas. She studied in Spain, Turkey and Egypt in high school and marched on to study middle eastern politics at Sarah Lawrence in New York before dropping out to pursue music full-time.  Aly may have soaked up her self-taught guitar style from Mexico to Egypt, but her words could only be born from the most deep and quiet places within her conscience.

Aly’s gutsy first album, "Things Worth Keeping," was released in late 2010, with a full seven-month US tour in close pursuit. She is currently touring the US & Europe with Toronto's Chloe Charles. Even with so much going by age 22, this chanteuse is just getting started.
