Bio: |
Tia Sillers is a consummate song crafter who has maintained a strong commitment to artistic integrity, even while achieving staggering commercial success. Her landmark song “I Hope You
Dance", initially recorded by Lee Ann
Womack, struck an emotional chord with
listeners and received
national exposure on Oprah and through articles in Newsweek and
the New York Times. It was even
performed at the Nobel Prize awards
ceremony. It eventually went on to win every conceivable
award including the Grammy, CMA, ACM, NSAI, ASCAP, and BMI Song of the Year. The song also
enjoyed success in Europe and South
America in a version recorded by popular international artist Ronan Keating.
Tia is far from a one-hit wonder though, having had songs recorded by numerous other
artists, including the #1 hits "That'd Be Alright" by Alan Jackson and "There's Your Trouble" by The Dixie Chicks. Crossing genres, she achieved success with Kenny Wayne Shepherd on multiple tracks, including the top five hits "Last Goodbye" and "Was" and the #1 smash "Blue On Black", which not only held the top spot on the rock
charts for seventeen weeks but was also the Billboard Rock Song of the Year.
Other artists who have recently recorded Tia's
songs include Chris Young, David Nail, Eden's Edge, Martina McBride, Trace
Adkins, Trisha Yearwood, Diamond Rio, Wynonna, Randy Travis, Terri Clark, Patty Loveless, John Waite, Victoria Banks, Johnny Reid, Isabelle Boulay, Sister Hazel, and The Gabe Dixon Band,. Tia also has nine cuts on the new album from Kenny Wayne Shepherd, released on Roadrunner Records.
