My MAIN BAND MEMBERS with whom I've toured the last several years are: Jace Bersin on Guitar (8 Years), Miguel Fair on Bass (4 Years) and Pete Abdou on Drums (4 years). THESE ARE THE PEOPLE HIGHLIGHTED IN THE EPK.
However, I've had a myriad of exquisite players through the years both on stage and in studio to whom I'm forever grateful: Gabriel Martinez, Dave Karnes, Rich Stitzel, Gary Batts, Chad Allen, Chris Copeland, Timothy Roberts, Steve Browne, Chris VanTassel, Neil Schnell, Jim Kisselburg, Jerry Pommer, Andrew Davis, Brandon Bumpus, Cole Freeman, & Craig Sweeden. I hope I'm not forgetting anybody. I'm sure I am. I'll review my notes and update the list.
Here's the Official EPK:
TURN OFF THE MUSIC THAT'S ALREADY PLAYING At The Top of The Page BEFORE WATCHING!!
A Recent Review:
Tiffany Shea is an award winning American singer-songwriter known for her powerfully structured and emotionally intense songs that tackle a wide range of subjects, including the rigors of modern love, spirituality and personal tragedy.
Acclaimed by her contemporaries, Shea consistently reconciles her love/hate relationship with a fickle music industry by recording albums brimming with original material, and this is reflected in the company she keeps - having been billed with the likes of B. B. King, Ani DiFranco, BareNaked Ladies, and Natalie Merchant.
Tiffany Shea has recently expanded her resume by writing "Phoenix" - a collection of hits demonstrating the expressiveness of her four-octave voice.
The album retains the eccentric, idiosyncratic, and literary lyrical edge for which Shea is best known; and her eclectic and meticulous musical and production styling continues to bolster her fan base on both sides of the Atlantic.
Influences: What artist of any kind hasn't been inspired by other people's art?!
Exhibit A: An Artists' Digital Portrait of Muses Thru the Ages. This reminds me to constantly change, grow, become, emote and explore. I think this anonymous piece is absolutely stunning.
