Bio: Tavie was born and raised in Longview, Texas, and can’t remember when she didn’t love to sing. Even as a little girl when her family would go camping she would perform for all the other campers at the lake. People often asked for autographs telling her that one day she might be famous. She played her first club in Dallas, TX at the age of 16. After graduating from high school she joined the Army and retired after a 27 year career. During her travels in the Army she attended and graduated from college. She also continued to entertain at NCO Clubs all over Europe and and across the US. Upon retiring from the Army she decided to persue her life long dream of having an all female 50’s and 60’s singing group. It took off like she never imagined and gets bigger every year. Tavie’s patriotism show through when she puts her heart and soul into the end of the show with “God Bless the USA”. It’s not unusual to see tears running down peoples cheeks. Tavie loves traveling with Shake Rattle & Roll, producing the show and promoting concerts.
