It's the small things--a sunset, a good meal, a funny quote--that make life so beautiful. And it's those moments that create the fodder for music making. Hope you'll join me while I tumble along, and please comment, critique, and post at will.

There comes a point when an artist makes the choice between staying local and keeping music as a side hobby or pursuing it full time. 2011 was the year that Tiffany Thompson would set out from the metro area and explore living life as a musician full-time. Having spent the last couple of years making a name for herself in the D.C. area, Thompson took her show on the road.
Between tours, Thompson spent time in studios in both Nashville and Los Angeles, co-writing and working on her next release. She released two singles in the fall, "Real Joy" for free on Soundcloud and "Let It Breakthrough" on iTunes. Both tracks were great, but neither hinted at what would be her brilliant new ep "We Are the Dreamers."
Recorded in Nashville, "We Are the Dreamers" moves Thompson out of the singer/songwriter category completely. Each song is polished and crisp, well crafted pop music. In the age of technology and at home recording, professionally produced quality can be hard to find, but the hard work of producer Phil Danyew shines.
Thompson’s sweet voice carries each song. Love songs like "Home" and "Tandem" have a biting attitude that cuts through the sweetness. It’s not mean, but it’s a change that fans of Thompson’s previous work will take notice of. On the flip, "Past This End," a break-up song, is a really gentle track.
The album’s most poignant moment is the title track, "We Are the Dreamers." It’s a personal song about chasing your dreams, and listeners can tell that it comes out of Tiffany’s experiences over the last year. The acoustic version of "Home" that ends the ep is a nice glimpse at the writing process and let’s the listener hear the song in its earliest stages.
"We Are the Dreamers" is a beautiful ep that should be checked out for sure. Tiffany Thompson has created her best record to date. If the goal was to make a name for herself nationally, "We Are the Dreamers" is a great first step in that direction.

Past This End with Tiffany
Earlier this year my good friend and film creator, Patrick McNamara, and I explored Washington, DC and Northern Virginia, hoping to give you a feel for my music, my vision, and the areas I love to hang out. The song in the background, Past This End, is off of my new record, WE ARE THE DREAMERS.
If you enjoy this song, be sure to head over to my website and get a few copies of the record. There are special Christmas bundles available till the end of December. I'll ship the CDs right to your doorstep.

Mission, Music and Europe
I had the honor of spending most of October 2011 in Europe, sharing my music with people in Budapest, Prague, Berlin, London and Cambridge. The experience has changed me to be sure, and I tried to capture many of the special memories on video to share with you. So I hope you enjoy my two part documentary of the journey.
Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7C1U9UB-Gcg
Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_n97ZCPpuU
Here are the live performances of two songs I wrote on the trip.
"What Remains"
"Makes Me Wonder"

... Who is Tiffany Thompson? Well, first and foremost, she is a graduate of Wheaton College. That alone should be sufficient evidence of her excellence as a person and worth as an interview subject, but for those of you who need more (i.e. Moody graduates and Dutch people) we should also mention that Miss. Thompson happens to be a kickass singer/songwriter.

What do you hope to accomplish at SXSW?
I submitted my application to SXSW last night, and was surprised by one of their questions: What do you hope to accomplish at SXSW? I wrote out a few different answers, ranging from very flowery to totally business; and in the end submitted the following paragraph. Somehow it keeps coming back to community.
For me, it’s incredible satisfying when that music is shared with a community and even more gratifying when that community is as excited about music as you are. I know that SXSW is a community of musicians, industry people, and listeners looking for and ready to love new music – and that is a place I want to be. The music I’ve created this year has been getting rave reviews from each audience I’m able to share it with, and I would love the chance to share it with the SXSW community. I hope that the people I meet will lead to creative collaborations and musical relationships that last long after SXSW.

Good Times in Austin
This past week I return to Austin—one of my past hometown--for six days of music, community and concerts. I kicked off my trip with back-to-back shows at Flipnotics Coffeespace and Romeo’s Grill on Wednesday, Sept 14. The Flipnotics show started off slow, but then two guys with a mandolin and banjo jumped up with me and playedthree songs! The good times started. The Romeo’s show was simply wonderful, great crowd, great sound system, and a great artist sharing the bill—B. Sterling Archer. My old neighbors came over as well as the friends and family of some DC friends of mine. Thanks again to everyone who came out to this show. Watch a video from Romeo's on YouTube!
On Thursday, I played for a group of international students as part of a weekly Bridges gathering. Since I am heading over to Europe in October for an arts centered trip with my church, this show was a huge blessing to me and a great chance to see the way music can breakdown cultural barriers and create bridges.
On Friday and Saturday, I was able to go to the Austin City Limits festival, which was
incredible! Coldplay headlined Friday night, and the show was simply inspirational. Chris Martin’s dynamic stage presence took my respect for the band to a whole new level. And made me want to start a melodic rock group. Any takers? A few of the other highlights were seeing my friend’s band Chancellor Worhal perform on the BMI stage as well as purchasing my first Fedora. ;-)
Sunday was totally packed with music ministry at the church I used to attend when I lived in Austin, First Evangelical Free Church of Austin. I’m so thankful to that community for supporting my music and letting me share my songs with them in the service and at a concert after the service. I closed the day with a house concert, and drummer and great guitarist started jamming with me.
On Monday, I went over to Regents School of Austin and lead their chapel services witha 30 minute presentation of my songs and how they reflect different aspects of the Lord’s Prayer. Man – middle schoolers are so cool. They got up and started clapping along with my song. That was a first.
The trip ended on a bit of a crazy note when the house I was staying at had some flooding happen, and I ran to the equipment rental place to get a water vac—240 gallons later the host said it was all dry.
This was truly an amazing trip, and I look forward to creating similar weeks in cities across the US. I love blurring the lines between being a bar and church musician. And I’ll keep sharing my music with anyone who will listen, praying that it rips a bit of the darkness off this world.

Going Back To Austin Sept. 14-20!
In case you didn't know, I'm a Southern Girl. Well, I'm also a Mid-West Girl, a East Coast Girl, and a Russian Girl, but I did spend 7 years living and learning in Austin, TX. I recorded my first two records, Unblinded and Seemingly Fine in that city with my good friend Josh Bronleewe, and I am so looking forward to returning next week.
You may ask, how does one go about booking a music trip to a city they have not lived in for over seven years? Great question. The answer: an amazing community of friends and family reaching out to their friends and family to book shows, provide housing and bring out the audiences. Here is my current schedule for next week:
Sept 14 at 6:00PM -- Flipnotics Coffeespace Cafe
Addy: 1601 Barton Springs Rd., Austin, TX
Sept 14 at 8:30PM -- Romeo's Restaurant
Addy: 1500 Barton Springs Rd., Austin, TX
Sept 15 at 7:00PM -- University of Texas - Private Event
Sept 18 at 12:30AM -- National Invitational Visual Art Exhibition
Addy: 4220 Monterey Oaks, Blvd, Austin, TX 78749
Sept 18 at 7:00PM -- High House Show
Sept. 19 at 10:00AM -- Regents School of Austin
I just want to say thank you to everyone who helped make this trip possible. And now, I'm sharing it with everyone else! If you know any friends or family in Austin, TX, please let them know about my kick off shows at Flipnotics and Romeo's. The two venues are right across the street from each other -- so I will be playing in downtown Austin for literally hours my first night in town -- just sharing music and connecting with people.
Thanks! And see you at the shows! - Tiffany
