About Tal Bachman

Talmage Charles Robert Bachman is a Canadian singer-songwriter and guitarist. He is best known for his 1999 hit "She's So High", a pop rock song from his self-titled 1999 album for which he won a BMI award in 2000. Along with his father, Randy Bachman, he is currently a member of Bachman–Turner Overdrive. After Bachman was rejected by many record labels, executives at EMI Music Publishing in New York City heard a demo tape of his ballad "If You Sleep" and offered him a recording contract with Columbia Records. After two years of research, Bachman concluded that the church's founder Joseph Smith had invented his stories, and Bachman severed his ties to the church. Bachman's second album, Staring Down the Sun, was released in Canada on Sextant Records in August 2004 and was released in the United States by Artemis Records in 2006.
