  • Bio

    ..Tia Carroll & Hard Work Live...... ...... ..2008 Jus Blues Music Traditional Blues Woman Of The Year.... Tia Carroll was born and raised in Richmond, California and her singer's career started before she even knew it was a career. According to her parents Tia sang instead of crying when she entered this world. Although this might be hard to prove, it can be said that Tia grew up listening to musicians like Stevie Wonder, Larry Graham, Ike & Tina Turner, the Beatles and The Monkeys (!?). Tia listened to and sang along with everything and everybody, thus her musical influence runs the gamut which also helps to explain the various styles on her albums. Tia's first paying gig was with an old time rock n roll band called Yakety Yak at a backyard BBQ. Luckily there have been many memorable performances, including Eddie Money, The Coasters with Leon Hughes and Tia opened shows for Gladys Knight, Ray Charles, Patti LaBelle and Tower of Power. In addition Tia's voice can be heard in the background of a few Bay Area recording artists, i.e. Sugar Pie DeSanto, E.C. Scott and Jimmy McCracklin. Tia also tours with the legendary blues singer Jimmy McCracklin at select appearances and not so long ago she went on a 12day tour with the Bay Area Blues Society and Zakiya Hooker to Thailand on the island of Koh Samui. There they spent Christmas and New Years doing shows to help raise money for the Tsunami survivors. On her first CD "Wanna Ride" Tia was taking on a real rock flavor courtesy of her good friend & guitarist George von Giese. Tia recalls: "George added some crazy ! sick guitar licks that really gave me some inspiration". Tia's second and self-titled CD, "Tia Carroll", is a bit more Soul and R&B, and the musicians on that project were strictly hired guns with plenty of musical ammunition blasting throughout the entire album. Both CDs are highly recommended, especially on the second CD it has to be said that Tia's voice is awesome and the musicians on the album knew how to support her - blues, R&B, rock at its best!!! You can catch Tia Carroll & Hard Work performing all over the Bay Area and beyond. Tia is currently working on her 3rd solo recording project, "Soul Survivor" which represents a large chunk of her life & times - stay tuned!
