Sept 22nd - Goin' home for my Birfday

Sept 22nd- Goin’ home for my Birfday
Hello my fabulous friends. I wanted you to know that I turn 25 in a couple of days, and I’m celebrating with a CD release in Edson. The other day I had a chance to talk to Victoria Carnaghan over the phone, and I read her work this afternoon. I’m not sure that I’m a very good interview-ee but I suppose I’ll get better at it hahaha I resisted my natural urge to say stupid things just to see if they’d make it into the paper, or make up random “facts” that sounded funny… I’m serious, I actually turn 25 in two days… so I put on my big-girl pants and gave a proper interview. Considering that it’s a pretty big part of promoting the show, I thought I’d better grow up juuuust alittle bit.
So I think you guys should check it out! Here’s the link: http://www.edsonleader.com/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=1764005



and here, for everyone who’s lazy in their old age like me:

Edson singer to host ‘Fabulous’ party

By Victoria Carnaghan

Former Edson resident Tiff Hall will take to the stage at the Red Brick Arts Centre Sept. 25 and 26 to celebrate the release of her first album, a pop/soul CD titled The New Fabulous.

Hall will perform about 10 songs with her band, Atlas Shrug — which is composed of a group of friends from her days at the Grant MacEwan music program — to celebrate the release of her 10-track CD, which contains all original songs.

Hall says since the early July launch of The New Fabulous in Edmonton, response has been great. In fact, her mom has to continually ask her Edmonton-based daughter for more CDs because mom keeps selling out of them in Edson.

Hall describes her music as “pop-soul.”

“It’s pop, but it does have a throw back to soul and maybe some R&B kind of styles.”

Stew Kirkwood produced the album and helped Hall co-write one of the songs. Hall met the Edmonton producer through contacts at the Ivory Club where she has performed for the last few years as part of a duelling piano act.

Hall estimates it took her about a year and half to finish the album. It was partly funded through a grant she received from an Edmonton radio station.

Hall has been playing piano since she was seven years old, but really got her start as a professional after graduating from the performance and composition program at MacEwan.
The recently turned 25-year-old says although she has performed in her hometown for a number of events in recent years, she gets more nervous singing here than in the city. “It’s actually more nerve-racking because people know me. It’s easier to play in front of strangers. But I really like it,” she said. “It’s a nice way of giving back.”
She said her family and groups like the Rotary Club have been particularly supportive of her music career.
“I like to play to show everybody what I’ve done with the lessons I started with in Edson. I consider myself a success, I’ve got a budding career and I think it’s going really well. I want to show them I appreciated growing up here and what I learned from here.”
Tickets for the 7 p.m. performances can be purchased at the Red Brick or by e-mailing thenewfabmusic@live.ca.
Hall can be found online at www.tiffhall.com, a website designed by an Edson webmaster.
