Friend Encounters is a weekly series featuring friends meeting celebrities.
Tiffany rose to fame as a teenage singer in the late 1980s. I jumped on the bandwagon and started following her career. By 2000, Tiffany-mania died down a bit, but I was still a fan. Her Color of Silence album is my favorite among her albums. She shed her teeny-bopper, bubble gum songs in favor of deeper songs, without losing any of her energy. I still rank that album as a great one, as I told her in my Talking Travel interview with her on Global Traveler.
My buddy John met Tiffany at a meet-and-greet at her performance at the Arcada Theater in St. Cahrles, Illinois. It is a beautiful intimate venue. Tiffany's meet-and-greet was one of the best. I know, because I was also there, otherwise I would have been quite envious.
I have met Tiffany a few times and she has been great every time, as were her shows. She is much more than an 80s nostalgia act.
John is a regular at the Arcada or its sister venues. He has met quite a few musicians I would have liked to meet. At least I matched him with Tiffany.
For more on Tiffany, go to tiffanymusic.com. John doesn't have a site, but with all of his music encounters, he would have plenty of material.
