Short Bio

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 upcoming 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 has felt quite right - until now. Having spent the last year in the studio refining her sound, 2023 marked the start of a brand new era for Tess Anderson. Combining the familiar gloss of pop with the heavy grit of alternative rock, she has finally stepped into her power fronting an impressively versatile 5-piece band. Tess' recent singles "Self Control", "Run", and "Gaslight" set the stage for her highly anticipated debut full-length album "Before I Come Unhinged", which is set to be released May 17th, 2024. 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.
