Tamara Barnett-Herrin is a London-based singer-songwriter, who has sung with the group Freeform Five on the album "Strangest Things" which was released in 2005. Her latest project is the "Calendar Songs" album, an internet-based collaborative Creative Commons-licensed project due to be released in early 2008.

Calendar Songs

Calendar Songs began in October 2006 and ran to September 2007, with Tamara releasing one original song on the Calendar Songs website every month inspired by events that month. The vocals and a minimalist backing track were available on the website as well as ccMixter for download, so that anyone could re-mix the song, and upload it to the website. In May 2008, Calendar Girl released "Calendar Songs--Remixes Volume 1", featuring twelve chosen remixes, one for each month.

In 2008, Magnatune recording artist Four Stones included a remix of the Calendarsongs vocal for "July" on his album "Chronic Dreams 2".

In connection with the Calendar Songs project, Tamara made her a capella tracks and simple instrumental tracks available pursuant to Creative Commons licenses, permitting remixers to make non-commercial uses of her songs.
