influence in her career, Eddie Baccus and Cecil

TEENY TUCKER
Teeny Tucker was born
into Blues royalty, (Daughter of
Tommy Tucker) one need only to hear Teeny
to know that she has cultivated and developed
her “gifts” into her very own uniquely
compelling “world-class” package.
As a child, this Dayton Ohio native began
singing in the church choir. This experience,
like so many other “soulful” success stories,
undoubtedly began to chart the course of
Teeny’s music career. The paths which would
lead to her abilities to musically interpret
with soulful, bluesy, and uniquely stylistic
renderings were set.
A 1994 performance at the Apollo Theatre won
over the notoriously cruel and scrutinizing
audience which earned Teeny a standing
ovation. Encouraged by the Apollo experience,
Teeny started her professional singing career
in November 1996 when she caught the attention
of a German Blues promoter and manager who had
promoted European tours for her Father. Since
then, her musical journey has seen Teeny
performing at many of the major Blues
Festivals in the USA, Germany, Sweden, France,
Switzerland, Belgium, and Italy. Teeny was
selected to appear on the cover of July/August
2004 edition of King Biscuit Time Magazine
accompanied by a full feature story of her
musical journey.
Teeny has been invited to appear on the same
bill with great blues artists such as: BB
King, Koko Taylor, Etta James, Buddy Guy, The
Holmes Brothers, Calvin Owens, Robert Cray,
and many others.
Teeny wrote 8 of the 11 songs on her second
CD, First Class Woman. which can be
heard in rotation on XM Satellite, Music
Choice and Blues radio stations all over the
country. Her songwriting abilities earned
Teeny a place as a top-ten finalist in the
International Songwriting Competition. Teeny
is a two-time, top-three finalist in the
International Blues Challenge which is held
annually in Memphis, Tennessee.
