“Tia McGraff 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. A joy to work with. It’s just a matter of time till that magic moment when everyone agrees it’s Tia’s time”…….. Randy Bachman (BTO and Guess Who)
Every once in a blue moon a voice resonates with a message that embraces generations.
A native of Port Dover, ON, Canada, Tia McGraff has established herself in the international music scene as an Americana-Folk singer/songwriter who delivers with honesty and truth, and leaves her audience uplifted and inspired.
Tia has released 4 internationally acclaimed albums; has had videos on CMT Canada; performed on main stage festivals in the US, Canada and the UK; and songwriter venues including the famous Bluebird Café (Nashville).
Tia’s most recent Bluebird Café round was seen on CBS Catie Couric evening news!
She has written with such notables as Randy Bachman (BTO); Andrew Gold (Linda Ronstadt); and her husband/guitarist Tommy Parham (Lee Greenwood).
Together they have had their songs placed in movies starring Ashley Judd; and most recently an Australian Gov’t TV commercial promoting multi culturalism, and Tia’s own recording of the same song, All Of Us, will be seen by an audience of over 500,000 (including the Pope) at this summer’s World Youth Day in Sydney, Australia.
2008 is turning out to be a “breakthrough year” for Tia and she is excited to be performing her first tour of Eastern Canada, a return tour of the UK, and many festivals and concerts in Canada and the US.
Saw Eve tonight at Ripon (again at Sage later in month)
She was asking after you and big T - told me to send her love. Henry is now 14 months old and into everything apparently!!! Seems 2 mins since he was a bump last tour!!!
Hello May God hold you in The palm of His hands and Angels watches over You and your Family. May He always leave footprints in your heart. “God Love’s you And so do I”! Wishing you all the very best of good health, happiness and inner-peace... Mursel

“Life is really about a spiritual unfolding that is personal and enchanting -- an unfolding that no science or philosophy or religion has yet fully clarified.”
