Tia McGraff had quite a year in 2018. The award-winning singer-songwriter and children’s author released her latest album. The critically acclaimed “Stubborn In My Blood” yielded the singles “Let ‘Em See Your Strong,” which was adopted as an anthem of empowerment by the #metoo movement, and “One Tin Soldier,” her cover of Coven’s seminal chart hit. The latter placed Tia among her peers on the Canadian iTunes Country Songs chart, reaching #22. The track also received international airplay, charting on the Roots Music Report and Airplay Today charts, among others. In September 2018, Tia and her husband/musical partner, Tommy Parham toured the UK in support of the release, performing for standing room only crowds.
Now, Tia is ready to kick off the new year with her autobiographical title track and video release, “Stubborn In My Blood.” Written by Tia and Tommy, the song tells the tale of Tia’s roots and background, that has led her on this musical journey.
“My roots run deep and in my blood….Canadian/Transylvanian/Scot!” says Tia. “I’m so blessed and honored to carry the torch for those who made being a dreamer a part of my DNA!”
Tia will celebrate the release with a February 11th lyric video World Premiere on CanadianBeats.ca. That same day, Tia will appear on Fox TV 2 News in St. Louis, MO. She will also perform on February 12th at the Bluebird Cafe in Nashville and at the Jacoby Arts Center in Alton, IL on February 14th.
