In this episode, I get to speak to the one and only Tia McGraff. Yes, you read that right. Tia McGraff is on Free Reverie!! AHHHH!  😁 It's so exciting Anyways, we get to know a little bit about her just like previous people I have spoken to on this show. With that being said, there is something very unique about her, she met Johnny Cash in person. How crazy is that?! My family would be so jealous of that  🤣  Her music definitely comes from the heart and it is music that I can relax to. I am not big into country anymore but I do love to listen to new music. So, I think Tia has made it possible for me to love country again  ❤️  Go Tia!  👏🏼  👏🏼   She is amazing to talk to and I am so glad to be friends with her. Want to know more? Take a listen 👂🏼  and enjoy!  😀 




Background: 




Hailing from just south of Toronto, Ontario Canada, Tia McGraff is an internationally-renowned, award-winning americana/singer-songwriter and author.  Accompanying Tia on her musical journey is her life/musical partner, Tommy Parham. The two met and married while both were living in Nashville, TN and have enjoyed an extensive career performing, songwriting and recording together for more than 12 years. They bring such an honesty and passion to their music that they have even been described as the modern day, Johnny and June!


2015-2017 were stand out years for Tia and Tommy, with sold out shows around the world (including the coveted, Bluebird Café, in Nashville, TN); international acclaim for their cd release Crazy Beautiful and radio play on such notable shows as Bob Harris Country on BBC Radio 2 in the UK.


With the August 2018 release of Stubborn In My Blood, first single, “Let ‘em See Your Strong” reached beyond all demographics and boundaries, having been adopted by “Me2” and women’s empowerment groups around the world! Second single, a cover of the classic,  “One Tin Soldier” recently hit #22 on the iTunes Canada Country charts! A 3rd single, the autobiographical title track is climbing country radio airplay charts around the globe.  The inspirational lyric video premiered on Christian music’s top site, JesusFreakHideout.  😇 


A gifted author, Tia’s children’s book, Jake The Road Dawg has helped raise funds and awareness for her local chapter of The Dolly Parton Imagination Library.


Seven international CD releases, various film/tv placements, radio and TV appearances, and numerous nominations and awards (including Americana CD of the year first round nomination for 2016 and 2019 Grammy Awards),  have earned Tia and Tommy a respect in the music industry and a global fan base.  The duo have a gift for ‘getting to the heart of the matter’ and writing relatable songs about life, love and this crazy world we live in.
