Combining a love for the likes of Brandi Carlile, Jennifer Knapp, Ingrid Michaelson and Ray Lamontagne - Tifani VanDenBerg brings a rootsy, Americana, folk vibe to the stage.
Her love for performing began in the rural farm country of Imlay City, MI where she was a regular part of the worship team at her church. It expanded and grew to include writing her own music and releasing her first album at the age of 17.
She began performing regularly in the Metro Detroit music scene - appearing at venues like the Crofoot, the Royal Oak Music Theatre, and countless coffeeshops. She has opened for A.A. Bondy, Diane Birch, and Isaac Russell.
She released her second, self-titled album before moving to Seattle in the early 2000s. Since then, she took some time off to get her degree and is now working her way back into performing.
