"The virtues, like the Muses, are seen in groups. A good principle was never found solitary in any breast."
– Jane Porter
LISTEN
Tuaca is a larger-than-life artist — big voice, big presence and big talent!”
— Gary Catona, Voice Builder and author of A Revolution in Singing
Tuaca rocks! Her lyrics are bold and surprising, her melodies riveting, and her voice sublime. She’ll get you up on your feet and swaying to her irresistible beat even if you’re the type that generally stays glued to your seat. She’s funny, beautiful, wild, wise, raunchy and sweet all rolled into one helluva singer/songwriter."
— Nina Wise, author of A Big New Free Happy Unusual Life: Self-Expression and Spiritual Practice for Those Who Have Time for Neither
Tuaca grabs ahold of her audience and sucks them in with her singing and her charm. Some people have it and most never will. Tuaca oozes it!” — Big Mike, Viva Cantina, Los Angeles
"Tuaca Kelly — Tilda Swinton-y even while performing as 'the entire cast of Star Trek' — seemed comfortable portraying everything from Queen Elizabeth to an 8-year-old nerd." — BackStage West

ABOUT
"Please welcome...unique Tuaca Kelly!" These were the words emcee Gavin MacLeod, best known for his work on television's Love Boat, used to introduce Ms. Kelly to the 1,127 attendees one night at McCallum Theatre in Palm Desert, CA. He'd watched Ms. Kelly in rehearsals and previous shows before sharing this observation. The words of wonder and encouragement MacLeod further gifted Kelly with after the show backstage, accompany her until this day.
