April 2, 3 PM
In case you haven’t heard, there are lots of musicians streaming shows online. Like EVERYONE!
We’re living through some weird and scary times, and musical notes sound more meaningful than ever before.
That said, I’m going to go live for about 30-40 minutes this Thursday, April 2nd at 3:00 PM EST on Facebook. So stop in if you’d like! https://www.facebook.com/MattTarkaMusic/
The show will support the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. Will be encouraging people to donate to suicidepreventionlifeline.org/donate. This isolating situation that we’re in right now can be really taxing on those who suffer from mental illness.
If you want to send any bread my way, go to paypal.me/matttarka and 50 percent of what goes there will be sent directly to NSPL.
Thanks All! Stay well & safe.

Rumy Love was born to Iranian Muslim immigrants in Maryland, but spent majority of his life in Northern Virginia. When he was seven years old along with his family they relocated to Iran which was a huge culture shock for him. Iran is a country with a fascist regime, culturally very different from the United States. “I went from listening to Madonna, and New Kids On The Block, to getting arrested for listening to Pop music… Living in two totally different countries has influenced, and shaped me as a artist.”
In 1996 Rumy moved back to the United States. “I remember being exposed to so many different artists like, No Doubt, Puff Daddy, Coolio, Aaliyah, Mariah Carey, Missy, TLC, Metallica, Jarool, Ashanti, Naz, Red Hot Chilly Peppers” This was during a time when Pop, R&B, and Hiphop where at the forefront of mainstream media. Not only is Rumy influenced by Persian music because of his time spent in Iran, but also by the pop music he began hearing once he came back to the United States.
