SMITH VERSES SWIFT

I made this years ago, before I had a podcast channel. I thought it was worth adding. We talked to lawyers but nothing ever happened. I guess you have to be really driven to spend your life like a pit bull with a locked jaw... to get heard.

This is a great album.

"An engaging and endearing book that is ideal to read over multiple sittings with much to offer both horse enthusiasts and a wider audience."  

​Horse & Hound

​

Mirror Horse is an immersion into not only the equestrian world, but also the heart and soul of the author. It’s an exploration of one woman’s passion and determination, to excel at everything from dressage to music to painting to relationships. It was a journey to find herself. Fascinating and heartwarming true story. *****

Good Reads review Lyn Campbell.

English/Canadian indie musician Tamara Williamson offers an unbridled account of a life in the world of horses.

From her first clever little bay pony, Stroller, to brilliant ribbon-winning Fletcher, Tamara Williamson recalls the many significant horses in her life, grappling with what it means to be horse-obsessed and what drives this desire to connect with horses. As Williamson discovers, during the tumultuous years of relationships with people and horses, these complicated equine creatures reflect back to us our best and worst selves.

Woven throughout the stories of individual horses in Williamson’s life is her own story of a creative, chaotic, challenging and adventurous life. Raised by an eccentric family, with a distant mother who disappeared into alcoholism and a charismatic father who left one sunny morning with a younger woman, Williamson struggles with dyslexia and a sense of increasing detachment. Horses, and the exacting sport of dressage, provide her with opportunities to connect, sometimes imperfectly. Her drive for accomplishment in equestrian sports, whether as a trainer or a rider, is regularly at odds with the fear that lingers from a traumatic childhood riding accident.

While reckoning with the financial and psychological expense of training and competition, and with the multitude of industries that benefit from horses, Williamson never loses sight of the enormous burden of responsibility she feels toward horses and the respect she has for their individual characters, memories and instincts. On the surface, The Mirror Horse is a book about horses—but beyond the bridles and braided manes, Williamson crafts a complex story about courage, family, and the unexpected places where we find a reflection of our souls: As a rider you can confuse yourself with being the teacher, but horses are constantly showing us something important. They are holding up a mirror.

BREAK-UP DIET INTRO ....START HERE!!!

This is a podcast I made after writing a book. I sent the book to a friend and she said "You are the worst writer ever, but I couldn't put it down" So I made it into this Audiobook/podcast.

Some people said they preferred listening to it than watching Netflicks... so I hope you do too. Since then it became a live show.. which won awards and played at Fringe. 

My advice... don't go out with a songwriter. You may get your laundry aired. 

Im probably not a good person but I'm working on it. 

Experience the raw and sometimes humorous production of "The Break-Up Diet," a captivating exploration of a hard-hitting break-up. Written and performed by the talented UK/Canadian alternative singer-songwriter, Tamara Williamson (known for her work with Mrs. Torrance, King Cobb Steelie, and CROW), this production is an emotional rollercoaster.

Originally created as an audiobook in 2016, "The Break-Up Diet" delves into the author's own life in alternating chapters. In 2018, it took to the stage and won The Adams Award for Best New Script at Toronto Fringe. Garnering glowing reviews, including 5-star recognition in NOW magazine and being named a top Six Pick in Toronto Star, this production offers a unique experience that defies categorization.
