Singing bailiff dreams Of stardom with her Optional Italian Buffet band By GINA KINSLOWWhile Tanaro takes her job as a bailiff seriously, it takes a backseat to her singing career.
Tanaro sings with her band, “Andrea Tanaro and the Optional Italian Buffet” somewhere every weekend. People always ask her where she got the name for the band. “That’s a long story that I’m going to make short,” she said. Tanaro’s band was playing at a club in Bowling Green one weekend. When the owner of the club asked the name of the band, Tanaro’s husband, Tony, who plays guitar in the band, said the name of the band was just “Andrea Tanaro. It’s her band.” The club was also having an Italian buffet that night. The banner outside the club on the night Tanaro and her band performed read “Andrea Tanaro and Her Band.” “Underneath it they had ‘Optional Italian Buffet,’” Tanaro said. The name stuck. The band plays a mixture of musical genres — rock, funk, blues, R&B and country. “We try to keep everybody happy,” she said. “We play a lot of rockin’ country. I’m a harmonica player, so my favorite thing to play is the blues.” Tanaro has been playing the harmonica for eight years. “When I was 19, I picked up the harmonica,” she said. “That’s what I wanted to play ever since I heard the Doobie Brothers play ‘Long Train Running.’ I was like 7 or 8.” The band is currently recording an all-original album at Dave Barrick’s recording studio in Glasgow. Tanaro hopes to have it finished by the end of the year and certainly no later than the first of the new year. “We’re going to try to push it and see what we can do with it,” Tanaro said.
