Exceeded all expectations!

I contacted Tasche with an unusual request: playing in a living room where only one person knew what was going on. My girlfriend and I celebrated our one year anniversary apart, but I wanted to do something special for her and her family while they were visiting New Orleans. Tasche had a very beautiful and unique voice, and I asked if she would mind surprising my girlfriend and her family with a short acoustic session in the living room of their AirBNB while they enjoyed coffee and mimosas.

Communication was clear and concise, she was punctual, and absolutely killed the show - bringing a couple of them to tears. I could not recommend her enough - she has a bright future with music. Thanks, Tasche!

BEAUTIFUL voice.

Tasche sang the Hawaiian Wedding Song from Blue Hawaii for the 50th wedding anniversary vow renewal for my parents. Wow!! She sang that song so beautifully and I love her singing style. She is also a classy dresser. Thank you so much Tasche! Will request again if I have another event.

Wonderful music

Besides being a very talented singer and guitar player, Tasche was extremely professional and friendly, both her in communication with us leading up to the event, and the day of. She has the voice of an angel and her music was the perfect addition to our party. Would definitely hire her again!

About

For sample music search Tasche de la Rocha "Gold Rose" on Spotify.

Tasche de la Rocha is a singer, songwriter, guitarist, and bandleader currently based in New Orleans, LA.

Tasche grew up among a family of musicians and performers, and has been on stages since the age of seven. Since 2012, Ms. de la Rocha has performed on the streets of New Orleans. While many of these performances consisted of just Tasche and her guitar, she has recently assembled an eight-piece ensemble, Tasche & the Psychedelic Roses, for bigger shows at some of New Orleans' most beloved venues. The Psychedelic Roses add a doo-wop flair and an R&B kick to Ms. de la Rocha's songs, with three backing vocalists, two lead guitars, bass, and drums.

Tasche has over 10 years of solo performance experience and roughly 3 years of band performance experience and over 1,000 hours of stage time in 2017 alone.

Her music evokes a sound that is both contemporary and vintage, blending psychedelic soul, love song, and dream pop. Whether performing solo or with the Psychedelic Roses, Ms. de la Rocha creates an intimate and magnetic atmosphere that pulls the audience in and makes them part of the experience. Tasche's music has taken her on the road to many parts of the United States and Europe. Traveling and performing for audiences around the country has, in turn, added to the evolution and growth of her music.

"De la Rocha's voice is supported by silvery, ghostly three-piece harmonies, which "creates a lot of dimension" and "immediately makes everything spookier," she says. Her recent work is inspired by drone music, Nirvana's MTV Unplugged, Mazzy Star, and Joe Meek's reverb-soaked pop, filtered through her ear for R&B and soul. "It's all going to sound like itself — I don't think it can all fall into a genre," she says."

-Best of New Orleans

Tasche can provide her own sound equipment and is sometimes willing to travel. Tasche specializes in 20s-40s styled parties and can dress the part.
