Like I'm Forgiven
"Like I'm Forgiven,
Tia McGraff, without a doubt is one of the most authentic singers and composers of our time. She does it again, but this time her voice is captured as the beauty of an Angel [and a bit of Carole King] singing “Like I'm Forgiven.” Reminding us that we need not carry our burdens and start living “Like I'm Forgiven.”

It is also gearing up to be filled to the brim with refreshing collaborations.

McGraff’s debut concert performance in support of the upcoming release, and the kickoff to her “Diversity” tour, will be taking place at the Sanderson Centre for the Performing Arts (88 Dalhousie Street, Brantford, ON) on February 26th at 8pm.

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 beginning. 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 last album, “Day In My Shoes”, was nominated for Best Alt Country Recording of the Year at the 2008 Hamilton Music Awards and, as Your browser may not support display of this image. Randy Bachman (BTO and Guess Who) explained, “It’s just a matter of time ‘till that magic moment when everyone agrees its Tia’s time”

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.

Canadian Captures the Sentiment of The American People with "Angry Eagle"
Veteran songwriter and recording artist Dan Hill, who has three times enjoyed songs ranked in the top three on the American charts and twice had # 1 hits in Canada, comments on Tia McGraff's hot new song, "Angry Eagle," It captures the times that we're living in perfectly! It is so wrenchingly topical that it's impossible not to relate to every word."

(Billboard Publicity Wire) October 13, 2009 -- 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.

"Angry Eagle," at first blush might sound like a song of rebellion, protest or frustration however, while it contains all of those elements, the carefully crafted tune, showcases the sensitive and emotive side of Tia McGraff's vocals and transitions into a story about compassion.

"Angry Eagle," is a song of hope, in the midst of heartbreak as all across North America individuals lose their jobs, families lose their homes, and worry about providing for their children. The sensitive missive is beautifully phrased, as Tia says to those that are hurting, 'we will be okay, because we have each other and we are going to see this through together.'

Making the song "Angry Eagle," available to radio stations for download or streaming through http://www.airplaydirect.com/TiaMcGraff is particularly poignant, as it seems to share the same stream of consciousness as the new feature film Capitalism A Love Story.

"Angry Eagle," was arranged by Nashville's Scott Brasher and produced by Tommy Parham, who also co-wrote one of the songs on the sound track for the movie Come Early Morning, starring Ashley Judd. As songwriters, McGraff and Parham have collaborated with musical heavyweights; Randy Bachman, Kim Tribble (Brooks & Dunn, Martina McBride)
Jeffrey Steele (Rascal Flats, Faith Hill) and Andrew Gold (Linda Ronstadt).

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.

John Black the Music Director for High Plains Public Radio in Amarillo calls "Angry Eagle," "one of those nice, rare moments when everything seems to come together and really says what is on the minds of millions. It is like she has tapped into the public consciousness…..I'll be dropping "Angry Eagle," into the show beginning tomorrow morning!"

The CBS's Nightly News with Catie Couric, featured Tia live from Nashville's Bluebird Café, just one of the gifted singer - songwriter's many stops, as she spends almost one third of the year touring the United States, the U.K. and Canada.

"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)

" I have seldom run into someone with a gift that needs to be heard as much as Tia. She colors outside the lines, and stands outside of the circle of tuned perfection. Tia McGraff is real, and is really needed in today's marketplace of music." Devon O'Day
( Hippie Chick Twang Records, Nashville)
