Gig Alert: Tatiana Moroz CD Release Party Saturday, 6/26 at The Bitter End

Singer/songwriter Tatiana Moroz will be rolling out her debut album, Tatiana, at the Bitter End on Saturday, June 26,  at 8:30 PM.

Straight outta Jersey, Moroz puts a subtly sultry spin on her blues/pop/rock explorations. From smokey to sweet to just plain pissed off, her many moods and new collection of songs create a cohesive musical journey.

Recorded, mixed and mastered 100% in the NYC area, SonicScoop gives Ms. Moroz a thumbs up for being 100% home-grown. Among the studios used to record Tatiana were Avatar, Chung King (RIP), Quad Studios, and Big Fat Suite. Mastering was by Angelo Montrone of Majestic Music Factory.

All mixes were by Chris Conway, except “Release In You” by LB Dorsey and “Look Like Honey” by Andros Rodriguez. “Evolution” was mixed by LB Dorsey and Chris Conway.

Congratulations and props to SonicScoop compadre Tatiana!! Party with the best of ‘em at The Bitter End!
