A Port Theatre Spotlight Series Presentation
Tissa Rahim
Coffee Concert Series – A series of four daytime concerts which take place in the Port Theatre lobby. Guests enjoy coffee + treats along with music in a more intimate, interactive setting than a traditional stage.
Tissa Rahim, the Persian Powerhouse, is a West Coast musician with a 40-city North American tour under her belt.
Winner of “Best RnB/Soul Recording of the Year” at the YYC music awards in 2023, Tissa freely explores her effortless Soul/RnB sound, infusing it with traditional Persian music her family has made for generations.
Beyond performing as a solo act up to a 6-piece band, she has led workshops on how her Middle Eastern roots have influenced her contemporary songwriting. Since 2019, Rahim has built up an enticing catalog as a solo artist, consisting of digital releases, videos and collaborations with artists in Calgary, Vancouver and beyond.
