The music of Bias Tape is crafted by Amal Bisharat as lead singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist. Having spent many years studying the vocal techniques of the early baroque style, and earning her BA degree in Vocal Performance in 1998, she brings a depth of vocal range and ability to the indie/folk songs she writes.
Other members include Tom Huber on guitar; Bob Smolenski cello/ukulele; and Michael Russell on drums. Collectively, the band has worked with a wide variety of producer/musicians including Steve Albini (Pixies, PJ Harvey, Nirvana, Will Oldham), Kramer (Luna, Galaxy, 500, Low), Scott Solter, and Desmond Shea.
