Singer, Songwriter, Empowerment Speaker, and Domestic Violence Advocate, Diana Winkler, states that her directive and mission are strong, but simple: Not just to entertain, but to offer a musical safe haven. Her story, behind the lyrics, is one that has led her to embrace individuals who have been trapped in the "behind closed doors" subject of abuse. Diana's artistic journey began when she was a young child. While growing up, she was involved in various forms of the Arts, which included theatre, choir and dance. Diana felt that she had been created to cultivate these gifts to serve others. When attending Bible College in Fairfax, VA, Diana received formal voice and piano training. Her studies also focused on overseas missions and church music. Diana also used her language skills to minister to the Hispanic community. It was during this period of time that the vision of a music ministry began to take form within her. Armed with education, experience and an invigorated passion for music, Diana began to make a name for herself within the local music community. Diana's musical expression of classical and traditional church worship music was best known for the blend of a deep, low range and soaring high notes. Throughout the upcoming years, she led various worship teams as a lead vocalist, choir director, church pianist, and also used her abilities to teach voice to aspiring students. Her skills and passion for local and global ministries enabled her to be part of church planting in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Virginia and Arizona, along with serving in the countries of Puerto Rico and Canada. But all was not well with Diana. She was someone who had become a victim of verbal and emotional abuse. She describes her despair, "I felt like I was trapped, and none of the options in front of me were very good ones. So, for a long time, I stayed." This kind of darkness was changing Diana from the inside out. Her life as a Christian musicianary was beautiful and she blessed many others, yet all the while, the feelings of emptiness, depression and hopelessness in her personal life began to take its toll. Diana says, “I woke up one morning more depressed than I have been in my whole life. I could not imagine bearing another year in this prison. I cried out to God, and said, ' I can't live like this anymore. I am willing to take whatever consequences are for leaving this situation, but I am getting out before it destroys me'.” She knew that God had a plan for her life, and held on to that promise. Through much prayer and supplication, Diana decided to leave. This was one of the hardest, but necessary decisions she had ever made. Today, having been blessed with her current musician husband, Brian, Diana finds herself in the midst of the ministry that had been part of her early dreams. Residing in the Phoenix Metro area, Diana and Brian are writing original songs that have been birthed from her experiences. “This new project, which includes original songs and cover tunes, is a collection of music to educate, empower and encourage those who are going through and have survived domestic violence, both physical and emotional.”, exclaims Diana. This compilation is a mix of genres from blues, jazz, flamenco and country influences, taking a different direction from her first CD, Classic Favorites. Diana is working to increase awareness of domestic violence within her church and community through public speaking and sharing her music at many churches and local events. “Diana has a willing, sweet heart and a beautiful voice that complements her personality. She has been a valuable added member to our arts and worship team here at FBC Scottsdale.”, says Jessie Young, Director of Fine Arts, First Baptist Church, Scottsdale. Diana has recently partnered with Mending The Soul Ministries, a faith-based small group program for those healing from abuse.

This is the original album version of, "Break These Chains."

This is the original album version of, "Break These Chains."

Break These Chains, is a song that almost didn't happen. I almost deleted it, and a friend talked me out of it. This track has become a huge hit in several clubs around the country including, NYC, Miami, and Ft. Lauderdale and others. I think it is one of those moments artists get in where we can't see our own work is worthwhile. This is a song about a bad breakup and thinking that love is something to steer clear of. It is actually three pieces of from three songs I wrote, and the pieces all fit into one song. This sometimes happens in my songwriting process. Break These Chains Music and Lyrics by Scott Finnell ©All Rights Reserved I'm traveling on the airwaves tonight I don't want to fall in love I don't want to fall in love again All I want to do is break these chains Sometimes we have to see the light Sometimes we have to see the light Sometimes we have to Open up our eyes and see Sometimes we have to see The light And if you go I know that I'll be broken hearted I know that life will see you through And I want to stay Here within your arms And I want to stay Here with you And I want to stay Here with you I don't want to fall in love I don't want to fall in love again I don't want to fall in love I don't want to fall in love again We kiss goodbye And now I know my heart is breaking I watch your photo fade to dust We kiss goodbye And I could hardly wait to see you And now those days Just slipped away And I want to stay Here within your arms And I want to stay Here with you And I want to stay Here with you I don't want to fall in love I don't want to fall in love again I don't want to fall in love I don't want to fall in love again I'm traveling on the airways tonight I'm looking for your love to shine its light I don't want to fall in love I don't want to fall in love again I don't want to fall in love I don't want to fall in love again

Described as having "a voice stolen from angels", TIA MCGRAFF first stepped into the international spotlight on a CBC TV special with Johnny Cash and June Carter. Johnny was so impressed with Tia, he invited her into June's dressing room to introduce the two. Johnny Cash wasn't the only one who recognized this shining star. Soon the likes of Randy Bachman (BTO), Dan Hill (Celine Dion), Andrew Gold, and countless others, were inviting Tia to write and record with them. Tia's most recent album is called Break These Chains and was produced by her co-writer/husband Tommy Parham. The rootsy melodies and honest lyrics have been produced with such integrity that listeners feel they are listening to something hauntingly familiar and refreshingly real. Perhaps it's because Tia’s influences include lyrical genuises like Joni Mitchell, Patty Griffin, and Mary Gauthier, or because she has drawn from the stories of those who have touched her heart. "Break These Chains is maybe her finest work to date. Sometimes by album number 5 an artist becomes complacent, satisfied with rehashing and redoing their past work.Same old wine in a different bottle. Fortunately, Tia has not fallen into that trap. She continues to grow and expand her talents as a songwriter and as a fine singer. McGraff has that quality, naturally, that singers strive for: believability." - Don Graham, Cashbox Canada Tia is here to share some brand new songs with us including "Baby's Got A Banjo".

Described as having "a voice stolen from angels", Tia McGraff first stepped into the international spotlight on a CBC TV special with Johnny Cash and June Carter. Johnny was so impressed with Tia, he invited her into June's dressing room to introduce the two. Johnny Cash wasn't the only one who recognized a shining star! Soon the likes of Randy Bachman (BTO), Dan Hill (Celine Dion), Andrew Gold, and countless others, were inviting Tia to write and record with them. Tia's latest 12 track album is called Break These Chains and was produced by her co-writer/husband Tommy Parham (pictured on the left in the photo above). The rootsy melodies and honest lyrics have been produced with such integrity that one feels they are listening to something hauntingly familiar and refreshingly real. Perhaps it is because Tia’s influences include lyrical wonders like Joni Mitchell, Patty Griffin, and Mary Gauthier, or because she has drawn from the stories of those who have touched her own heart. "(Her) new body of work is maybe her finest to date. Sometimes by album number 5 an artist becomes complacent, satisfied with rehashing and redoing their past work. Same old wine in a different bottle. Fortunately, Tia has not fallen into that trap. She continues to grow and expand her talents as a songwriter and as a fine singer. McGraff has that quality, naturally, that singers strive for: believability." - Don Graham, Cashbox Canada The show will open up with a chat with singer-songwriters Brian Donkers & Steve Rivers about a new song they've written called Beneath The Shadow Of Heroes. It's a song written about the tragic events in Ottawa in October.
