In the same section of the bash man page, it talks about doing stuff
like the following:

${var/foo/bar} - gives the value of var, with the first occurance (if
any) of foo changed to bar.

${var//foo/bar} - as above, but replaces all occurances.

So I guess you want something like:

artist="${tag///-}"

Note that the quotes are critically important from a security
standpoint.
