About Tia McGraff:
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.
The duo quickly became a musical force to be reckoned with and Tia and Tommy have become an indie pairing that is reaching out to the world with their love for each other and for their music.
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.
The seasoned duo has been immersed in the world of country music in more ways than one. Writing, performing and producing, they have captured the attention and respect of artists, producers and industry insiders.
