"Ten Tiers new release Don's Club Tavern Part One is a smash hit...combining all the key elements that are right up there with all-star material: Timely, conscious and right on the money. Here's a band to watch out for. Keyword: Compelling" - Carmen Allgood, The Colorado Wave Syndicated radio.
Great review posted in Westword!! "'How to Love You,' a swirling rocker that shows off the band's myriad strengths"
By Michael Roberts. Read it here at Westword.com
Ten Tiers was nominated in the Pop category for the 2006 Westword Music Showcase.
Now... what were we saying?
Is it pop-rock? No. (well, if the Westword wants to call it that, then okay, we'll let them call it whatever they want!) Is it alternative-rock? Possibly. Is it progressive-rock? Sorta. Is it drama-rock? Huh? Is it rock? Yes. But wait, is it metal? No. But it is rock.
Described as a fusion of David Bowie and Cat Stevens, Ten Tiers has won over fans from LA to New York and from metal rock to pop music and everything in between.
"Imaginative songwriting, powerful vocal's backed by amazing melodies..." - Elana Jefferson, Denver Post Weekend
"Jonathan Tiersten is one of the five best songwriters to come out of the Denver and Boulder area in the last fifteen years and that includes Big Head Todd." - Sharon Rawles, Talent Director - Capitol Hill Peoples Fair
"I'm really getting into the new album with two songs ALREADY thrusting themselves into my subconcious as I write (and in general) - The title track's (Tied Up) hook grabbed me from the very first listen, and just gets better each listen. And I was surprised to find myself really loving the 13th track (November) that I think is my current favorite..." - Sean Crouch, Lead Writer for the CBS hit show "NUMB3RS"
We are trying to create music that leaves you with something. Melodies and hooks are great, but in the end it has to be about emotion and desire. Life and death. Boredom and sex. Hate and fear. The never ending yet excruciating process of self investigation and a healthy bit of loathing. If you want to avoid therapy, write, perform; make a complete ass of yourself and maybe, just maybe, change someones life or night for better or worse. B.B. King once said, " The Blues aren't about feeling bad. Their about making other people feel worse". At its best music just makes us feel. We aren't a blues band. But I think we know what it is to have the blues in you. Listen and experience.

Hi! Just wanted to make sure all my friends know that my new erotic horror novel THE 13TH is now in stores everywhere! I hope you'll check out this debauched and demonic horror ride!
There's even a website devoted just to the book, with an interactive map of the places and characters at www.the13th-horror.com.
Edward Lee called THE 13TH "A double-barreled shotgun blast of macabre entertainment -- an expert amalgamation of grotesquerie, eroticism, mystery, and pitch-black occult horror that no fan of the genre can miss."
And Gary A. Braunbeck said, "John Everson's The 13th is the first out-and-out horror novel in a long while to actually scare the **** out of me while reading it. It's stylish, extremely well-written, filled with richly-drawn characterizations, and boasts a labyrinthine plot worthy of Umberto Eco. Trust me -- this one will fry your nerves and break your heart."
Guess who I spent time with at Chiller Theatre this weekend... Danielle Harris! I brought your autographed photo that I promised you I would show her and she loved it! I just posted my new photos and the video of me meeting you and a new one with Danielle. It's a must see. Let me know what you think!! Best Halloween ever, hope yours was fun at Trinity of Terrors! Kind of jealous that Scout Taylor-Compton was there though instead but I know I'll get to meet her sooner or later.
Hey Jonathan! nice to meet you here- your music sounds great! I hope to catch you performing in Vegas or another place when we're in the same city at the same time. If you get out to Los Angeles we can have you come on my tv & radio show for an interview. (www.24kmusicnetwork.com) Continued success to you my friend! ~David Longoria~
