ABOUT TIA MCGRAFF:
“A storyteller who
gets right to the heart of what really matters” - Helen Mitchell (guest review - Country Routes)
"Tia's voice
has a special beauty" - Bob
Harris, BBC Radio 2
“With ‘Crazy
Beautiful’, Tia McGraff has released the album of career.” - Maverick Magazine (5*)
Tia McGraff is an internationally renowned and award-winning
Americana/Country singer-songwriter from Port Dover, ON, Canada. With Scottish
and Transylvanian roots running through her songwriting and voice, Tia’s talent
has been described as “haunting and soul-gripping.”
With six album releases, four
videos on CMT Canada, various film/television placements, and numerous
nominations and awards - including Americana album of the year first ballot
nomination for 2016 Grammy Awards - have earned Tia a respect in the music
industry and a global fanbase that continues to stretch beyond demographics.
Tia’s latest release, ‘Crazy Beautiful’ - produced by
Colorado native, husband and longtime collaborator, Tommy Parham -
was released in 2015, and immediately impressed Americana and Country radio
programmers in the USA, Canada and Europe, resulting in significant activity on
various airplay charts. Tommy, who moved to Nashville, TN in 1998 with a staff
songwriter deal in hand, and soon became one of Music Row’s sought after hit
writers, is credited with cuts by major label artists, including Lee Greenwood,
and film placements in movies starring Ashley Judd, among others.
After moving to Music City in
1999, Tia was introduced to Tommy by his publisher. They began writing
together, broke their rule of “never date a co-writer,” and in 2006 the couple
were married in Savannah, Georgia. In true Tia and Tommy fashion, they celebrated
their wedding by performing a concert for their friends and fans. Their love
and passion for each other, their music and their fans, continues to grow, win
hearts, and make them one of Americana music’s favorite sweethearts. In recent
years the duo have supported and shared stages with artists
including Steve Earle, Joan Baez, Randy Bachman (BTO, Guess Who),
and José Carreras, among others.
Last year was a standout year
for Tia & Tommy, with a sold out show at the Bluebird Cafe in Nashville,
wide acclaim for ‘Crazy Beautiful’ and international radio play for her music
including Bob Harris Country on BBC Radio 2. The pair return to the
UK in May 2017 for a fifteen-date national tour.
