12 is the new album from Tamara Williamson, a full collection of songs created over a long and unusual stretch of time. During Covid, Williamson set herself a simple goal: write and release one song each month. Working remotely with longtime collaborator Mitch Girio, the songs slowly took shape, each one capturing a moment, a mood, or a small piece of the year unfolding around them. Along the way, they were joined by Stephen Pitkin, Tom Third, Karen Graves, and Guillermo Subauste, whose contributions helped the music find its full form. Williamson also invited rapper Tremayne to add his voice to one of the tracks, bringing a fresh layer of energy to the collection.
Although the songs were finished some time ago, the album waited for the right moment. “I should have released this years ago, but… well, here it is,” Williamson says. 12 now arrives as a complete album, released first on Bandcamp Friday and “coming to streaming places soonish.”
The record is steady, sincere, and grounded in the intention that shaped it. With twelve songs built from honest collaboration and patient creation, 12 offers a clear and heartfelt snapshot of the artist’s work during an extraordinary time.

Queen Street Royalty
Tamara Williamson has been an artists artist for more than thirty-five years. She has been described as an atmosphere builder, storyteller and provocateur. She takes the audience on a journey that keeps them hanging on each word or note. Her style was built at the forefront of Grunge in the nineties and she became dubbed The Godmother Of Indie on Queen Street. Her music drifts between alternative pop, raw striking punk to simple quiet poetic wanderings. Tamara is forceful and still pushes boundaries, getting the attention of Rap Artist Tremayne and being featured on CBC’s “q” in June 2021. Always pushing her horizon’s In 2019 Tamara received The Adam’s Award for her book/musical The Break-Up Diet. A ninety minute alternative musical production that received 5 star reviews at Toronto Fringe. Tamara also has a successful podcast, is a painter, musical producer and is writing her next book The Mirror Horse.
Born and raised in London England she moved to Canada in 1991 where she was signed to BMG with her band Mrs. Torrance. She then went on to an accomplished solo career and has released seven albums under her own name. She has been included in projects with Arts and Crafts, King Cobb Steelie, Do Make Say Think, Rheostatics and has toured in Europe and across North America many times playing Folk Festivals in Canada,France, Germany and Spain.
"I’ve admired Tamara for years; she cut a certain path of determination for me by having musical conviction long before I understood those stakes for myself.” Feist
“Someone who can take a room and transpose it onto another plane, a voice without restrictions.” Martin Tielli (Rheostatics)
Her affect is dauntingly flat at first, but once you get to know her style (and deadpan sense of humour) the 90-minute-show becomes engrossing, like a really good extended Moth Radio Hour story backed by your favourite indie bar band. Toronto Star
“The Break-UP Diet is real, raw, funny and terrifying. Come for the cautionary tale, Stay for the music.This is new and you have not seen it before.”Jeff Rogers
Tamara Williamson’s The Break Up Diet is a clever, emotional and intensely personal narrative that takes you, insight by insight; from heart-hollowing suspicions to explosive confrontations to painful introspection; through what is essentially a brilliant musical autopsy of a failed marriage.Charles Spearin. Broken Social Scene.
