Singer / Songwriter
"For six albums, Tiffany crystalline voice has rung with the kind of unflinching reflection that turns to universal truth in the shared space between audience and performer".

New release
"I’ve got another song," she says....."d'you want to hear it?....
And sure enough there’s another beguiling tune all nice melody and chords on the outside and raw emotion running underneath..... ‘Child of Mine’ she calls it.....and in between labouring and parenting and housekeeping and homesteading and teaching music we find a moment to record it, one night, upstairs.....ideas and arrangements come and go....much talk about fashion, taste, and subjectivity.....late nights following my instincts, ignoring advice, or taking too much on board.....going to the studio the next day to listen to what happened only to find it’s all turned to mush....painful reconstructions.....
And abandoning the security of ‘the way we’ve always done it’ for something like the wide open road.....is the seventh album like the seventh son?.....does adding uke really fix everything?.....isn’t ‘the edge’ something you fall over?.....does the barking of dogs in the background matter?.....of course I can play that thing there.....what is it.......?
And here it is.....twelve new songs dressed up and ready for the ball.....they kind of chose their own costumes but we think they did ok....
Twelve new songs simple enough on the outside, but bearing hidden bundles of raw emotion, love and loss, serenity and simplicity....a still moment in the garden Sunday morning.....riding the Runaway Train to the digital city.....the wild ocean at Two Mile Bay dwarfing the tiny mourning figure on the cliff .....the endless Open Road......the sun rises and the moon sets.....
And yes, Tiff, I think it’s pretty good like that........
