Tess Anderson EPK
Throw away all the expectations and just make music that feels good.
That’s the sentiment Vancouver-based Tess Anderson has chosen to live by recently, and it’s become evident in her recent body of work. Allowing vulnerability and authenticity to be at the forefront of everything she does, Tess captivates audiences with her moxie-filled performances. Trying on many different genre hats over the years, nothing felt quite right - until now. Combining the heavy grit of alternative rock with the familiar gloss of pop, she finally stepped into her power fronting an impressively versatile 5-piece band. Tess' highly anticipated debut full-length album "Before I Come Unhinged" was released on May 17, 2024, and surpassed over 100,000 streams within 4 months. Performing over 75 live shows annually, including having opened for Mother Mother at a sold-out Commodore Ballroom show, Tess continues to build a name for herself in the Vancouver music scene.
