Tina Thomsen-Park started her professional musical career in 1976, playing her 12 string guitar and singing before the movie and during intermission at the now defunct Picture Show Theatre in Old Fairhaven. That same summer, she started singing Sunday nights at Dos Padres Restaurant (also in Old Fairhaven). She held that job for 21 years.
Although her style of music was regarded as "contemporary popular" when she started, she is still singing a lot of the same songs, and they are now considered "oldies" She adds a mix of eclectic tunes and folk songs that she has picked up over the years.
She played once in a while at the old Cookie Cafe and has accompanied friends at the Roeder Home. You may have also heard her play and sing at a wedding or two over the years.
Most of her musical talent is now used at her church or for personal enjoyment.
