This NSAI Songwriters Special features Christine Tier. She released her debut album in 2007.  Featuring 12 original songs and an all star cast of musicians, the album moves seamlessly from country to jazz to indie-pop.  The song Missing placed as a runner up in the American Song of the Year competition in 2008. Christine's second full length album is in the works and this time her signature genre blending will be peppered with a bit of Brazilian influence from her years playing in the Toronto samba band Escola de Samba.  Because Christine is a practicing lawyer, her music takes a little longer, but she makes it worth the wait.
