Angie's Bio:
At age 3 Angie sang in a family quartet. At age 6 she began studying piano. In high school she trained under Gerald Langner with the Lutheran Collegiate Bible Institute Concert Choir. She studied classical piano under Robin Harrison at the University of Saskatchewan where she received a diploma in piano performance. She earned diplomas from Siena, Italy and Trinity College in London, England. She has toured throughout Canada, Italy, and the USA during her extraordinary career.

Tysseland has faceted herself as an artist by composing music for theatre, sanctuary, musical-directing professional theatre, and appearing on regional televisions programs and CBC radio. Her songs have been performed by more than 20 choirs across Canada and are regularly heard at music festivals and recitals by students and professionals alike.

Motivated to become a truly diversified musician, Angie formed the blues-based vocal group H'rattitude with Andrea Menard in 1994. Going solo in 1996, she released a critically acclaimed self-titled CD. This was followed in 1997 by The Refiner's Fire and in 1998, Safe Passage, a benefit album for survivors of abuse funded by Status of Women Canada. She wrote the music for The Girl Who Was Saved by Jazz ( 1999) and Tune Town (2006), co-written with Saskatoon playwright Don Kerr and New York is Big but This is Biggar, (2000) with Tom Bentley-Fisher.

Angie has shared the stage as a singer/songwriter with The Wyrd Sisters, Henry Loiselle, Kerry-Anne Kutz, Heather Bishop and Shirley Eickardt. She received Saskatoon YWCA's Woman of Distinction award in 1999. Anyone who has worked with Angie remains impressed with her artistry. The woman who so often sits quietly at the keyboard is an electric fusion of talent, skill, experience, and dedication.
