About this Event

Tiffany Ann Pollack is New Orleans. She’s the beauty that lies deep down within old pain – the letting go and kicking your heels up despite it all that defines the most mysterious American city. She’s been a foster daughter. A teen mom. A mortician. And when she sings, she’s a fluttering melody that slaps you with a smile.

Raised north of the city in Slidell LA, on Bayou Bonfouca, just off the ditch-lined Bayou Liberty Road, she got her musical genes from a momma she didn’t meet until she was 25.

Early on it was all too obvious to her adopted family that the music of Southeast Louisiana was growing in her like a swamp iris reaching up through the shadows to sunbathe.

“Who is this strange creature we’re raising? She’s nothing like us,” she pictures them saying as she hollered and banged away on a gutted player piano they bought her but didn’t think to tune.

No matter – Tiffany turned to songwriting, kept plinking away and didn’t look back.

Her critically-acclaimed debut album, Blues in My Blood, recorded with her cousin, Eric Johanson, was released on Nola Blue Records in 2019, and turned heads across the blues world. It was awarded Best Blues/Rock Album and Best Female Vocalist at the Global Music Awards; Best Blues Song (“Blues In My Blood”) at the Independent Music Awards; and Best Story Song (“Michael”) at the American Songwriting Competition.

She then released her first solo project of all-original songs, Bayou Liberty, in 2021. Her second release on Nola Blue Records, it was recorded at Electraphonic Recording in Memphis, Tenn., and was dedicated to her Uncle Charles, who was the one who found her and reconnected her with her birth family. He passed away at age 70 in February, 2021.

She is currently working on her second solo album of all original songs, which is set to be released soon. Stay tuned!
