Tanya Ransom delivers her signature sound of folk blues and alt country, painting a vivid narrative amongst ornate melodies. Her powerful vocals inhabit the sweet spot between tough and tender, effortlessly accompanied by her laid-back rhythm guitar.
A regular to the Australian touring circuit, Tanya has performed at Cygnet Folk Festival, Nannup Music Festival, Blues at Bridgetown, Fairbridge Festival, North West Fest and supported the likes of Kate Miller-Heidke, Missy Higgins, Boy and Bear, Tim Rogers and John Butler.
Ransom will release her fourth independent album “The Significance of Time” in early 2025, after her last offering gathered recognition, awarded WAM Best Regional Act and receiving the inaugural Nannup Music Festival Directors Award. The title track nominated for WA Best Country Song further highlights the unwavering musicianship among her collection of songs.
A product of her musical upbringing, having lived 20 years in the remote northwest town of Broome, Ransom’s ability to connect with audiences is undeniable, bringing a deep emotion to her already cavernous feelings carried within her stories and songs.
The Young@HEART music program is held at Margaret River HEART every Monday morning from 10am to 11am. The program does not run on public holidays or when there is another major event in the foyer.
The initiative was developed to safely encourage participation in the arts among older residents (over 60s) during the initial stages of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Due to high interest, the free performances have since been opened to people of all ages. Nonetheless, the senior demographic still makes up the majority of the audience.
Young@Heart is broadcast live on Radio Margaret River.
