Welcome to a new edition of the Neon Jazz Interview Series featuring jazz singer, visual artist, and cultural architect Tamara Rivelle.
In this episode, we connect with Tamara from her home base in Nashville, Tennessee to discuss her upcoming 2026 album, Love Letters, her heartfelt single “My Superman,” and a remarkable creative journey spanning music, art, education, and community building.
“My Superman” is a deeply personal reflection on Tamara’s father following his recent diagnosis with Alzheimer’s disease, transforming love, memory, family, and resilience into a powerful musical expression.
Originally from Pittsburgh and now based in Nashville, Tamara Rivelle creates a unique sound that blends jazz, R&B, and pop influences into a soulful and timeless musical experience. Beyond being a performer, she is a creator and connector whose work is built around a rare ability to inspire belonging and bring people together.
For more than three decades, Tamara has designed spaces that cultivate resilience, creativity, and character—first through classrooms and communities, and now through stages, visual art, and creative platforms.
Tamara Rivelle’s story is one of artistry, compassion, and connection—a reminder that music can preserve memories, honor relationships, and create spaces where people feel seen.
