The Timpanogos Singer/Songwriter Alliance (TSSA) was formed in the early months of the year 2000 as an organization of artists working to strengthen original, authentic music in Utah Valley. Initially a loose network of artists, fans, and volunteers, TSSA quickly put itself on the radar of the arts community and local leaders by successfully organizing the music portion of America’s Freedom Festival at Provo. Since then, it has produced several acclaimed compilation CDs, created a number of local concert series, and acted as a network where local artists can interact and develop.
