"Jewel's Café is a fictional substitute for a very real location that's near and dear to every one of us. It can be tangible or intangible; your local hangout; a mysterious life-changing entity, or even an oasis stuck in the recess of your imagination: a place that allows you to sort out your past and contemplate your present in order to prepare for the future"

2005 will be an exciting year for them as Tia releases her latest album, "Outside Of The Circle", a collection of "life inspiring" songs that will plant Tia firmly in the Americana and singer/songwriter genre.

This is Tia's acoustic special edition EP -  a 5 track album which she and Tommy have produced themselves.  It as an acoustic session called "Raw" and features acoustic versions of 1) This is How Waiting Feels 2) But You Did 3) Ought to be Rock  4) Loose Ends 5) What the Hell Am I Doin' Here

This is a Limited Edition pre-production EP, previewed on her November UK tour, which will more than give you a very good taster of how the new album (to be released later this year) may sound.  It is exclusively available through www.tiamcgraff.com, or by emailing Tia at the usual address. 

All of these new songs are brilliant, but I especially adore 'This Is How waiting feels' 'Ought to be rock' and 'What the hell am I doin' here.  Hearing these songs recorded in this way is stunning as they sound the way Tia sings them live; just her, Tommy and their guitars.

Believe me, this is one NOT to be missed -  so come on Tia McGraff fans, get your hands on a copy while stocks last!  You can even have Tia sign it when you see her next......

Her first, 'Small Town Life'  was  released in 1997.

TRACK LISTING: 1 )Sunflowers 2) Daddy's truck 3) Dance Me Back 4) Way Up Here (Treehouse Song) 5) Stronger 6) Heaven On A June Day 7) Cookin' Up A Party 8) Child Of The Times 9) Small Town Life 10) Fisherman's Song

NEW ALBUM:  Tia and Tommy are beginning to talk about their new album, and will hopefully be beginning it early next year - if the new songs we had the pleasure of hearing live are are anything to go by - we are in for a treat!  Here's hoping it includes; 'Ought to be Rock by Now,' 'Rocks that You Can't Move,' 'Slip away, '  'But you did' and 'Something.' the beautiful  'this is how waiting feels' and 'what the hell am I doin' here' I am really hoping that it will also include the stunning version she sang at the Riverside, then sang again at my request in Berwick, of Amanda Marshall's (www.amandamarshall.com)  the song floored her the forst time she heard it, well it completely floored me the other night....also they do a wonderful live version of one of Tia's favourite songs 'Mr Bojangles, the emotion in her voice as she sings the story, just has you mesmerised.

Tia actually told me that she would love to record an all acoustic album... I think that would be wonderful.....a whole album as she sounds live!  I don't know if that is the idea for the new album or a later album..I will keep you posted!   She also mentioned that 'Jewel's Cafe' is a song she would love to re record at some point (maybe acoustically?)  I will add more information about the new album as Tia gives it to me.....hoping I might get a sneak preview too, in order to update the site...
