ABOUT TAMARA
Author. Producer. Creative Executive.

SERVICE OVERVIEW
1. Strategy Roadmap for Individual Artists
A focused strategy engagement for artists who need clarity and direction.
The Strategy Roadmap is a flat-fee engagement designed to help you step back from the day-to-day and look clearly at your creative work, career direction, audience, opportunities, and challenges.
2. Facilitation for Arts Organizations
Better ideas. Stronger alignment. Healthier conversations.
Arts organizations often face complex challenges involving mission, programming, audience development, funding, leadership, community relationships, internal culture, and long-term sustainability.
Traditional brainstorming can fall short. The loudest voices dominate. Good ideas get lost. People hesitate to challenge assumptions. Boards struggle to align. Teams move too quickly to solutions before fully understanding the problem.
Tamara Saviano Media designs and facilitates creative strategy sessions that help organizations think more expansively, collaborate more effectively, and make better decisions.

Watch Tamara's Approach
The first woman president of the Americana Music Association and producer of the early Americana Honors and Awards shows at Nashville’s storied Ryman Auditorium, Saviano takes readers behind the scenes for some of the most significant moments in Americana history. Poets and Dreamers illuminates the exceptional Americana community: an ever-expanding yet close-knit circle of friends and unsung heroes devoted to the success of roots music and its artists.
Highlights include interviews with artists and colleagues and memories of special events, concerts, and day-to-day life with singers, songwriters, and musicians. Tender stories recalling Saviano’s close relationships with two of her most enduring clients, iconic songwriters Kris Kristofferson and Guy Clark, round out this singular historical work. Including photographs of significant people and moments in Americana music, Poets and Dreamers: My Life in Americana Music will entertain and inform a worldwide readership of fans, students, and scholars of Americana and roots music.
