Tiffany burst on the music scene as a teenager in 1987 with her debut album "Tiffany" and its number 1 singles "I Think We're Alone Now" (a Tommy James cover) and "Could've Been." She promoted that album with a series of concerts in American shopping malls.

Decades later, she still performs on record, in person, and on television. Recently, she appeared on the TV show "The Masked Singer." Wednesday evening, she brought her act to Chicago's City Winery.

Tiffany still embraces her roots. She routinely performs on 80s tours and plays many of her early hits. On this evening, the 53-year-old singer played four songs from her debut album. But she updated the arrangements to create a more rocking sound. Often, she tours with the hard rock band L.A. Guns. Due to other commitments by Guns members, she assembled a trio to back her (guitar, bass, and keyboard/drum machine). Mark Alberici, who played guitar, was the highlight of this group, backing her rhythmically and shredding on the solos.

She added a few rockers from her latest album, "Shadows."

Although she only performed for about 70 minutes, Tiffany warmed to the audience, moving across the stage and serenading folks in the first few rows. She referred to her supporters and her bandmates as "Team Tiff."

Age has changed her appearance from her days as a teen prodigy. But it is clear she still loves to perform, and she has transferred that love to her audience.
