~*~ GREAT QUOTES ~*~
"Tiffany Shea is hardly a gentle balladeer with a wounded heart. She sings with raw passion and throws down energetic shows of original alt-pop-rock. Shea is a cool jewel with an attitude..."
--- Fort Worth Weekly (Texas)
"I watched as kids in their teens stood just inches from the stage hanging on to her every word...they were caught in a trance that she wove with her vibrant voice, animated facial expressions and intermittent sincere dialogue."
--- Kim Thore (reviewing a North Carolina show for www.strutteronthetown.com )
"She's got a tight band and a strong voice on her own often angst-filled songs which lose neither power nor promise in translation."
--- Buddy Magazine (Texas)
"Musical Sushi...Raw, Delectible, Modern and Entertaining."
--- Go!Triad (North Carolina)
"The Tiffany Shea Band is like the little engine that could."
--- The Weekender (Massachusettes)
"Tiffany Shea puts the rock where it needs to go."
--- Creative Loafing, (Atlanta, GA)
"Her songs deliver universal themes in a pop-flavored package"
--- Fort Worth Star-Telegram, TX
"She's also a hoot. Shea played more than three hours of original music at her CD Release party, then she attended the Grammy Awards by creating a fake employee identification card, wearing a fake uniform, sneaking inside the convention center, then changing into a dress, and using another faked all-access pass. That kind of chutzpah, combined with obvious talent and stage presence, makes Shea a favorite of yours and ours."
--- Fort Worth Weekly, TX

Music:

Member Since: 4/25/2006
Band Website: WWW.TIFFANYSHEA.COM
Band Members:
Tiffany Shea
Songwriter, Producer, Lead Singer, Guitar, Piano
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.
(TURN OFF THE MUSIC THAT'S ALREADY PLAYING before watching this!!)

My Specific Musical Influences? IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER: Led Zepplin, Stevie Nicks/Fleetwood Mac, Sting, Stone Temple Pilots, Pearl Jam, U2, Johnny Cash, Butch Walker, Tool/Perfect Circle, Counting Crows, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Matthew Good Band, Lenny Kravitz, Journey, Eminem, Cranberries, Patti Griffin, Jeff Buckley, Tori Amos, Depeche Mode, Ella Fitzgerald, Peter Gabriel, Heart, Live, Greg McCormack (Jester's Folly, Dirty Helen), Maroon 5, Pat Benetar, BB King, Duran Duran, Melissa Etheridge, Ani DiFranco, Blue October, Sheryl Crow, Bush, Indigo Girls, The Doors, Janet Jackson, Matchbox 20, Moby, Bjork, Prince, Sarah McLachlan, Santana, Blondie, Seal, Patrice Pike/Sister 7, Coldplay, Belinda Carlisle, Foreigner, Erasure, Incubus, Portishead, Anything Indie or Jazz, Classical, Experimental, Organic, Creative, Stimulating & just Groovy & Sexy... yeah, I just like great music.
more general?...anybody who/anything that is sincere and honest and inspired and entertaining... anyone who has a sense of excellence in their craft; anything passionate-- a fantastically intriguing conversation-- the ocean-- a sky with no clouds & no pollution (especially at sunrise or sunset)-- the open road-- world travel...1,000 year old castles & churches, any of the natural or man-made wonders of the world-- independent & foreign films-- cherished reunions with loved ones-- live theatre/ballet/modern dance, listening to kids under age 10 share their thoughts in conversation and watching them play without a care in the world-- a good laugh with good friends-- listening to poetry slams--giving to people in any way small or big-- sharing any of my art forms & embracing the work of others-- general psychology and philosophy-- trying to embrace the reality of living simply, loving generously, caring deeply, and speaking kindly, freely and truthfully. 80's Glam Rock, 90's Grunge, Classic Funk, Texas Blues ...power-passion-rock-star-emotional-sexy-universal-art. Yep. That kinda covers it!
