Tina Schlieske
As a world-class singer, songwriter and performer and Santa Barbara mainstay, Tina commands a dedicated and passionate following wherever she plays. At the beginning of her career, her band Tina and the B-Sides released several albums on Tina’s own label Movement Records before a chance meeting in an elevator with the President of Sire Records led to a record deal. She's garnered rave reviews as the touring rhythm guitarist and lead singer for the late Stevie Ray Vaughan’s band ‘Double Trouble’, and her creative collaborations with renowned musicians have become too numerous to list. She’s released several solo albums and shared the stage with Lenny Kravitz, The Wallflowers, the Indigo Girls, Etta James, and more recently Jeff Bridges and Robert Ellis. In her music and performances, you’ll hear the diverse influences from her hometown Minneapolis music scene, blended with the rich history of blues, folk and Americana.
