She followed that up with her latest album ‘Bandshell’ which also debuted at #1 on the iTunes Canada Jazz Chart and was named one fo the best of the decade in the Italian press, and ranked the #5 best Canadian jazz release of 2015 by Jazz FM 91 in Toronto.  The album also hit #24 on the CMJ national jazz radio chart in the U.S. after being added to over 35 stations nationwide, and continues to receive airplay across the country as well as on CBC Radio, Jazz FM 91, BBC6 in the UK and Rai Radio 1 in Italy.  Her release “Bandshell Remixed”, an electro-swing tribute also made the Best of 2016 list on the Craig Charles Funk and Soul Show on BBC6 in the UK.  Tia has toured the world performing from Vancouver to Amsterdam, including such festivals as the Montreux Jazz Festival, Festival International de Jazz de Montreal (main stage), TD Toronto Jazz Festival, Xerox Rochester International Jazz Festival (cover of festival program), Vancouver International Jazz Festival, Maui Waui Festival and Bestival (UK) and Iboga Summer Festival (Spain).
