Tia McGraff is an internationally-renowned, award-winning Americana/singer-songwriter and author from Port Rown, On (Lake Erie!)  Accompanying Tia on her musical journey is her life & musical partner, Tommy Parham. The two met and married while living and working in Nashville. Both have enjoyed an extensive career performing, song writing and recording together for more than 12 years. They bring a deep honesty and passion to their music and have been described as a modern day, Johnny and June!

2015-2017 were stand out years for Tia and Tommy, with sold out shows around the world (including the coveted, Bluebird Café, in Nashville, TN); international acclaim for their cd release Crazy Beautiful and radio play on such notable shows as Bob Harris Country on BBC Radio 2 in the UK. With the 2018 release of Stubborn In My Blood, first single, “Strong” is already reaching beyond all demographics and boundaries, having been adopted by “Me2” and women’s empowerment groups around the world! A new single, a cover of the classic, “One Tin Soldier” is sure to light up summer radio playlists.

Tia’s children’s book, Jake The Road Dawg has helped raise funds and awareness for her local chapter of The Dolly Parton Imagination Library. Seven international CD releases, various film/tv placements, and numerous nominations and awards (including Americana CD of the year first round nomination for 2016 Grammy Awards), have earned Tia and Tommy a respect in the music industry and a global fan base. The duo have a gift for ‘getting to the heart of the matter’ and writing relatable songs about life, love and this crazy world we live in.

Tia, Tommy and Jake, The Road Dawg, return to The LOFT after three years. C'mon out. You will love them.

Marutyri is a young, Dutch fusion band from Rotterdam who stopped at the Cobourg LOFT last summer between festival gigs to serve up amazing harmonies, grooves, and solos with an international flair born at the Rotterdam Conservatory and seasoned from touring in China, Malaysia, and Germany, Trumpet, trombone, flugelhorn, tenor saxophone, keys, guitars, bass and synth, drums and percussion. Last summer they blew a packed house at The Loft away. The rousing ovation they got has brought them back for summer tour 2019. This is something completely different, yet somehow familiar. When I watch this YouTube link I hear traces of Chicago and Lighthouse.

It's somehow familiar but you haven't heard this before. Downbeat at 7:30 pm but come early and show these young Hollanders some Canadian hospitality. After Monday night in downtown Cobourg, they're headed to Toronto's hipster club, The Burdock Music Hall. Send them to TO with tales about Cobourg's exuberant music fans.

Tickets are $25 + service charge at Vic Hall Box Office 905-372-2210
