Carrie Welling w/Tiffany Thompson

No stranger to change or the exploration that comes with it, Carrie Welling has been navigating life’s twists, turns, demons, and discoveries from a young age. A self-described ‘military brat’, Welling’s struggle to feel rooted in any one place carved a unharmonious path of heartbreak, doubt, and insecurity that defined her 20s and early 30s… a journey that lead to her soul-defining rebirth as an international touring artist with a place to call home in Nashville, TN.

 

Her bold, sultry voice, reminiscent of Sheryl Crow’s grit, Natalie Maines’ twang, and Stevie Nicks’ heart, is upstaged only by the genuine love and connection this natural performer has with her fans both on and off stage. But embracing confidence has not always been easy for this singer-songwriter, who speaks candidly about her battle to be good to herself, and to quiet the inner voice nagging her to be “perfect”. Through the process of creating her latest work, a collection of songs that encapsulate Carrie’s determination to embrace self-love, self-care, and leave the past behind, she’s found a place of peace and healing, recognizing that authenticity and vulnerability is the glue that binds us all.

 

As a singer/songwriter, Tiffany is the definition of a “lifer.” The daughter of a preacher, Tiffany began singing church solos at five years old. Her father’s work took her and the family from Iowa to Russia in the early 1990s and then over to Austin and Chicago in the 2000s. All the while, Tiffany was playing piano, learning guitar, and crafting songs from her journal entries. Over the past two decades, Tiffany has released over 50 songs and performed hundreds of shows. 

Tiffany creates experiences that are engaging and transformational for audiences! Each attendee feels as if she’s speaking to them individually; and when they leave, it is like their soul is filled up and ready to live more fully. Tiffany emotionally connects with audiences by vulnerably sharing stories of her personal struggles and pain, while deeply impacting audiences with inspiration and hope.
