Austin, Texas' Tiarra Girls have been gigging steadily since SXSW 2012 and show no signs of slowing down anytime soon. 

The teenage trio made up of the three Baltierra sisters (Tori, Tiffany & Sophia) proudly perform all their own instruments and started out playing covers from Beatles, Stevie Wonder, Corrine Bailey Rae, Cyndi Lauper, Black Keys as well as Selena, Juanes and many more. 

Fast forward a few years and the result is a sonic melting pot of the girls' musical influences rolled into their own unique brand of alternative rock that is undeniably influenced by their strong family bond. 

The Tiarra Girls’ new EP, produced by award-winning Austin producer AJ Vallejo, is a shining example of what is yet to come.
