Jazzy singer/songwriter, guitarist and pianist just back from Nashville!

June 17, 2023Posted inLive Music
Hawa Tarawally wowed us with her talent last year with a show at JC, and last week jamming with Lil’ Red and the Rooster, with her open mic performances, at our jam and online music. She is very talented and fun and has a great stage presence. "hawa", a Columbus, OH born multiintrumentalist-singer-songwriter entered the scene with a bang with her debut single "Beloved" last year. Often using organic piano, orchestral strings, punchy brass, and groovy bass, hawa somehow incorporates elements that span multiple genres. During the past year, she has been “living the dream” in Nashville, and is now back home for a couple of months. See her while you can!

He has won the Ohio Music Award's "Adult Contemporary Song of the Year" and has been a finalist at the Columbus Songwriters Association's annual songwriters contests several times. Steve also won first place in the Adult category at the Ohio Theatre's talent contest.
