Tiger Tiger (Lee & Stephen Tiger ) American Indian Rock n Roll Band www.TigerTigerMusic.com is not an ordinary American rock n roll band! Inspired by the nature of the Florida Everglades, their American Indian culture and Chief Buffalo Tiger (their Father) of the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida, the brothers career highlights include initial recordings at Woodstock (later released in Germany on Sonys ZYX label).

Their love of music and performing has led them to international stages as feature artists worldwide including concerts in Spain, Germany, France, USA & SOUTH AMERICA. In the US the Tiger brothers rocked audiences with their unique native heart beat music at New Yorks Gas Light Lounge in Greenwich Village and the Rolling Stone Club. From the east coast the band went on to hit the USAs west coast LA scene, performing at such well-known venues as Thee Experience on Sunset Drive in Hollywood, Whiskey-A-Go-Go, the Troubadour and Bag O Nails alongside such groups as Frank Zappas Mothers of Invention. The band was also featured in concert at the Atlanta Pop Festival with Traffic, Allman Brothers, Atlanta Rhythm Section, Lesley West & many more.

Based in Miami, Florida national recording artists Tiger Tiger have headlined and graced the stages for numerous festivals and concerts over the years. They were featured in the First Miami Pop Festival along with Jimi Hendrix, Procal Harum, & Led Zeppelin. In fact the actual jacket that Lee Tiger wore on stage at the first Miami Pop Festival in May 1968 has recently been put on permanent display in the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood. The jacket was designed and created by Stephan Tiger. At The Seminole Tribes Big Rock Pow Wow they performed with Chicago, Edgar & Johnnie Winter, Grateful Dead & many more groups of that era. At Pirates World in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida they performed along with several marquee acts, including Jefferson Starship, Blackfoot, Leonard Skynyrd, Steppenwolf, Deep Purple, Guess Who, Charlie Daniels, Quick Silver & Foxy.

As you acquaint yourself to their music, you will understand why these accomplished and respected musicians were requested by Chuck Berry & Bo Diddley to be their backing band. Their last commercially released album Southern Exposure received a Grammy nomination. Their self-produced music video Lay Your Burden Down took second place for Best Music Video at the 2000 American Indian Film Festival in San Francisco. The Tigers have recently completed their most exciting Native American cultural CD, Peace From The Everglades, Dedicated To The Survival Of The Miccosukee & Seminole People of Florida. This CD received two Native American Music Award (NAMMY) nominations in 2005, for Best Pop/Rock Recording & Song/Single of the Year for Heya. Future plans include touring and promotional opportunities in support of the new CD.

Tiger Tiger recently finished recording, Native to this Country. The album is scheduled for release some time next month, Lee Tiger said in an interview for Miami Herald.
"We had big plans for it, even taking it to Europe," Lee Tiger said. "We're going to probably even work harder, as a legacy to us and a tribute to him (His brother Stephen Tiger who died in June 2006)."

I used to go to the IMAGE on Collins to see Lee and Steve. They were the Bangles way back in the 60s. One of the songs they played was HIT THE ROAD JACK. I was amazed to find their band went on and on. Isn't You Tube the coolest. I wish there was some footage from the IMAGE I can't seem to find anything. The NRBQ was anoher "house band" at the same time like '68, '69. Thanks for the great memories.
