This includes countless big band and combo settings, such as The Bob Weast Swingin’ Big Band and The Red Sneaker Dixieland Jazz Band. She has opened for and/or shared the stage with such luminaries as Sam Salamone, Frank Tribble, Irene Myles, Susie Miget, Bruce Katz, Robert Cray, Renee Austin, Karl Denson's Tiny Universe, and many more. Most recently, her much-lauded Queens of Jazz tribute shows at Noce Jazz Club in downtown Des Moines have cemented her place as one of the scene’s most sought-after vocalists. A two-time Iowa Blues Challenge winner, Tina is currently the youngest member (and one of the few women) of the Des Moines Jazz Hall of Fame. Best of all, she is grateful to share life offstage with her husband Brandon and daughter Dove. </p> 2019-07-11 21:00:00 -0500
