McGraff met her musical and life partner, Tommy Parham, when the two were living in Nashville, Tennessee. Together they write and record their own CDs, and perform for audiences ranging from main stage festivals - the coveted Bluebird Café in Nashville - headlining in soft seater concert halls. They share the success of an international fan base, major film/TV placements, chart topping single releases, and the sheer joy of making music for their fans!
Tia McGraff's lyrics are often compared to those of Joni Mitchell and her voice to that of an early Linda Ronstadt. As one of Tia's fans exclaimed, "She makes my soul rest."
"Tia is a fantastic singer with her own vocal personality which reminds me of an early Linda Ronstadt. She is a very intuitive songwriter who knows what a song needs to make it tick. She's a joy to work with. It's just a matter of time till that magic moment when everyone agrees it's Tia's time," said Randy Bachman of Bachman Turner Overdrive and the Guess Who.
So make Sunday evening, December 16, a memorable musical evening. It's your time with Tia, as well as to enjoy the Holiday Show exhibition in the Gallery and Artist Shop Holiday Sale at Jacoby.
