Tygerr was deemed a child prodigy at the age of three; she used to hear songs on the radio and sit down at the piano and play them. An ear player at first, but eventually classically trained, she has played several instruments; among them piano, bass, violin, cello and guitar. As a teenager she was offered several music scholarships some of which included the prestigious Berklee College Of Music and WSU.
Opening for the likes of acts such as Alice Cooper and Stryper, the raven-haired beauty turned her attention to the modeling side of the world in the early 90’s where she had posed for many photographers. Her popularity rose in Australia and Japan after several visits to those countries touring and modeling. She was featured in Australian Penthouse in 1994 in one of the most successful publications to date in the history of that country’s magazine.
After attending an Ace Frehley show in New Jersey she quickly became friends with the band and was in constant contact with the guys until the day came when she finally paired with Richie Scarlet of the Ace Frehley band in 1996 to begin what would turn out to the be highlight and lowlight of her career.
At the time she was living in Las Vegas, and with the help of many friends along the way, {such as Grammy nominated drummer, Ray Brinker, of the Tierney Sutton Band and One O’clock Lab Band, bassist Trey Henry, also of the Tierney Sutton Band, guitarist Basil Fung of Alanis Morrisette fame, and several other well noted studio musicians in the LA scene} she began her studio venture into what would become the now titled CD, Bewitch You.
After several months of recording and mixing the first Tygerr’s Lair project -- which generated high label interest -- the project was shelved as Tygerr was diagnosed with brain tumors and had to give up music for a while. After two years of aggressive chemo and two years of recovery she moved away from Vegas and relocated to Seattle in 2006, and began reforming Tygerr's Lair. This new vision and dynamic was fueled only by the belief that Tygerr still had the passion to make the best music she could.
The band which went through many personnel changes in the early formation before settling on guitar whiz Cody Nash of Great Falls, Montana. Cody was the creative genius behind the very popular local band Chemical Berry Avenue, which had grown quite a following before he left for Washington.
Enter our new drummer, Max Jordan from Chinook, Montana. He and Cody Nash have been close friends since junior high school. Max has been interested in the drums since preschool. He got his first drum set in 6th grade and hasn't stopped playing since. When Cody asked him if he would be interested in joining Tygerr's Lair, he was more than happy to add his drum style to the band and to work with Cody again. Max has become known around the state for his drum solos during sporting events for the Chinook Sugarbeeters. He has played in two other bands; Steaua, and most recently Picture Bleeds Paint.
Tygerr’s Lair just finished recording the new version of Bewitch You at Pacific Studios and have just been endorsed by the very popular Basson Sound Equipment. We would like to extend our thanks to Shawn Green of Basson for his continued support and encouragement!!!
So be on the lookout…..TYGERR’S LAIR IS ON THE PROWL AND COMING TO A TOWN NEAR YOU SOON!!!!
