Tia McGraff – Canadian singer / songwriter has been attracting a lot of
attention across America with her song “Angry Eagle,” and the companion
video, which at one point features the eagle with a tear in its eye. Tia’s
previous videos include; “Small Town Life,” “Way Up Here,” “Sunflowers,”
and “Every-time I See You,” all of which have been featured on Canada’s
Country Music Television.
Writing and recording since the young age of 19, Tia McGraff?s uplifting,
heart-warming songs have been garnering her strong fan exclaim from the
start. As one devoted fan once said, “Tia?s music makes your heart rest!”
The Port Dover, ON, Canada native first released two albums, on her label
Bandana Records, and four music videos which were showcased on Country
Music Television (CMT), before deciding to make the move to Nashville, TN.
Soon after her arrival in Nashville, Tia met songwriter/producer Tommy
Parham who became her partner in life and on stage.
Tia McGraff continues the legacy of premier Canadian female
singer-songwriters who have been warmly embraced by the American public,
as she tours regularly throughout America, and her August 20th concert in
Amarillo, Texas was broadcast on National Public Radio.
Having released two successful albums that were supported by festivals and
venues around the world (including the famous Bluebird Café), they?ve not
only found touring success but also commercial success. Their songs have
been placed in a variety of movies and television spots. Most recently,
?All Of Us,? (Tia McGraff/Tommy Parham/Henry Priestman) was placed in an
Australian TV commercial promoting multi- culturalism and Tia?s version
was featured in a video on World Youth Day in Sydney, and played in front
of the Pope and over 500,000 spectators. Tia McGraff’s latest album, ?Day
In My Shoes,? was nominated for Best Alt Country Recording of the Year at
the 2008 Hamilton Music Awards.
Tia is excited to be making her debut concert performance at the beautiful
Sanderson Centre, and will be supported on stage with her full band and
joined by special guests from the 6 Nations, Sakoieta Widrick and
