You went above and beyond to make your proposal magical for your partner. I was so impressed! You were easy to work with too. I appreciate your trust in me to learn the songs you wanted, be there when you needed me and make it as magical as possible. Yay to teamwork. I am so thankful to be there on your special day! Remember I play weddings so be in touch if you want me back to play for your ceremony or cocktail hour. I would be honored!

November 28, 2023Tai was super amazing and awesome to work with. Her voice is absolutely beautiful. I booked her for a surprise Birthday brunch for my beautiful cousins birthday. Tai walked in singing and playing her guitar and it was no dry eyes in my home. Tears of joy flowing. We surely needed it. They are still talking about how awesome Tai was. We recently lost my Gorgeous Mom and Tai brought all the love and joy with her. She even had shakers that we all got to use during a few songs. It was incredible. I will be booking her again. Thank you beautiful Tai for blessing us with your voice. We will always remember that moment.

ABOUT:
Tai Shan is an Americana songwriter whose music has been featured in Billboard Magazine, American Songwriter, Americana UK, and on NPR. Based out of Nashville, her songwriting focuses on positive messages. Her song, “Burn it Down” celebrates 100 years since the “right to vote” and was featured in Billboard Magazine. A magna cum laude graduate of Cornish College of the Arts, Tai Shan and her husband Austin who beatboxes and plays trumpet as the other half of the group toured the United States, Mexico, and Canada, performed for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and at the famous Bluebird Café in Nashville.
An Arts- trained classical and jazz composer, Tai is known for her incredible versatility, in both music and subject matter. Though she has plenty of her own life stories to draw from—including singing for the Pope, watching all of her belongings ignite in a house fire, playing a music tour through Yellowstone National Park, and teaching music at Seattle’s Museum of Pop Culture (Mo-Pop), Dusty Strings, and Seattle Girls School—Tai prefers to mine literature. She’s penned over 50 songs, in collaboration with Bushwick Book Club, that give musical voice to literary characters and immerse the audience in the story, the same way a novel does. In 2016, Tai was awarded a Jack Straw Cultural Center artist recording grant to complete her third album, Meet in the Middle.
