Huggins Grant
“Love Letters” - this new one I really like it..love her voice, she sings it like she means it - Marie Crichton BBC Radio Shropshire
Americana/
Alt. Country / Country Americana
Tiffany
Huggins Grant is known to Nashville music fans for her original, captivating
blend of soul, blues, and country. Her evocative lyrics and music draw heavily
from personal, yet universal experiences, and has been described as Americana
Soul.
Born
in Atlanta, and a songwriter from the age of 16, Tiffany was a finalist in the
Georgia Music Industry Association's annual songwriting competition and shortly
thereafter won the John Jarrard Scholarship to the prestigious NashCamp
songwriting camp.
At
age 17, she performed at Nashville's renowned Bluebird Cafe.
Upon
moving to Nashville, Tiffany began work on her 2012 debut album. Titled SING SIGH KITTY,” it featured many of
the original songs which have gained her a growing fan base from performances
at Nashville's The 5 Spot, French Quarter Cafe, The Pond, and Windows on the
Cumberland, as well as Atlanta venues The Red Light Cafe and Eddie's Attic.
In
Nashville, Tiffany teamed up with Mark Houser of Writers In House Music
Publishing, with whom she co-wrote two of the album's songs. Mark describes
Tiffany as "one of those of those voices that make you want to hear more.
She has such control and such a raw bluesy sound. You can actually feel the
words she is singing. Truly a very talented songwriter as well."
Tiffany
counts Susan Tedeschi and Delbert McClinton among her vocal influences, while
her songwriting has drawn inspiration from Darrell Scott and Patty Griffin. Her
fresh, richly-layered lyrics and infectious melodies resonate with audiences,
and are served up by her powerful yet nuanced soul-infused vocals.
Her
new album release JONQUIL CHILD (MP3 - Amazon.com ) is the first album to fully capture Grant’s
estimable talent, it is her second CD, following 2012’s Sing Sigh Kitty. “I’ve
been writing songs since before I was 14, and most of the songs on Sing Sigh
Kitty were over 10 years old,” Grants says. “I needed to get them down on an
album, just to move on.
The
12-song album boasts 10 original numbers that bring her honey-and-crystal voice
and her songwriting to the fore, reveling in her gift for melody and in her
creative vision.
“This
album is a direct result of my growth as a person and as a songwriter,” explained
Grant. “I’ve wrestled with my demons and discovered how to write songs based on
my own life that also speak to the lives of others. It’s been a hard place to
get to and it took me more than 10 years, but I’ve come to believe in myself as
a singer, songwriter and performer — and to simply believe in myself.” CD Review

DEXETER
“Four Thousand Miles” - "I do
like to feature UK music" - Marie Crichton BBC Radio Shropshire
Genre: Country,
Rock, Pop
Home Town:
Midlands, UK (Leicestershire/Northants band)
Main members:
Singer Deeanne Dexeter and guitar player Gareth Thomas
The band has been together for just over one year. In the past 12 months they have played to a total of 35,000 people, and the 2015 C2C Country to Country was their 30th gig together. Before last year’s festival, they had only played four events.
Band singer
Deeanne Dexeter, 27, of Market Harborough, said it was exciting and nerve
wracking to be on the line-up for Country to Country 2015.
Dexeter guitar
player and songwriter Gareth Thomas, 37, said: “Since last year the band’s
profile has gone through the roof.”
Respected award
winning UK country journalist Alan Cackett flagged up Dexeter as a must see at
C2C. Amongst the sea of cowboy hats and plaid shirts the Leicestershire outfit found themselves playing to a huge audience (600 people) at the Big
Entrance Stage. Their real trick was to make a bunch of people stood in the
concourse at the entrance of the O2 forget that and feel like they were are a
proper gig.
