Tina Haase Findlay has been singing in public--starting with the church--since 1968. Her indefatigable desire to keep growing has spread across playhouses, blues bars, and civic events warming up one-hundred-thousand-plus people for Simon Estes. The marrow of her bones, if you will.
One of the youngest persons, and few females, inducted into the Iowa CJC Jazz Hall of Fame, Haase Findlay is also a two-time Iowa Blues Challenge winner.

No Lady MacBeth, this one, nor Queen Lear. A profound example of fighting through, over, and around to keep moving, and to not give up. A sensitive soul who looks for the good in others, and has served as the heart and soul for many productions, peers, and students.

On stage. Mid lesson. In conversation. Journaling intensely. Tina remains dedicated to art and Art, if you understand. From the pragmatic to the philosophical, she has spent more than fifty years on this eARTh working to understand the deeper layers, through expanding-then-refining knowledge and tools--tools and wisdom she passes forward to the succeeding generations every day in her lessons and performances.

Our art ebbs and flows from within our nature; the figurative identification of both who we are right now, and the reach of what we wish to be. The warmth and strength of her performances come who she is, and the ambition of her range is speaks intuitively for all she still wishes to reach, thus grasp.
