TORRES IN CONCERT:
TORRES soaks her folk and country tunes in darkwave and shoegaze influences to craft cerebral, defiant masterpieces. The singerÕs passion is impossible to miss as her voice soars ever higher and delivers hauntingly honest lyrics. Her backing band perfectly complements her vocal fury with tense synth basslines, swelling guitar atmospherics, and driving drum beats. Ticket buyers canÕt help but be swept up in the emotional tidal wave as these ethereal folk gems transform into head-banging rockers. On tour to promote her highly anticipated sophomore album Sprinter, TORRES is bringing her powerhouse folk-rock anthems to select cities across North America in 2015.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Raised in Macon, GA, Mackenzie Scott hadnÕt sung before she was cast in a high school production of Fiddler on the Roof, but it was love at first verse. Her prodigious talents soon led her to relocate to Nashville, where she began performing around town. Following her grandfatherÕs death, she decided to adopt his surname and began recording demos under the name TORRES. She released her self-titled debut album on the eve of her 22nd birthday in 2013, making her live debut as TORRES just a few weeks later. The mature album belied the singerÕs age and earned her amazing write-ups from outlets like Pitchfork, Beats Per Minute, and Drowned in Sound. Her 2015 follow-up Sprinter signaled an increased trust in her solidified backing band, which had increased input on the finalized album. The album earned more rave reviews for the singer for her improved confidence, while the groupÕs increased cohesion has fans buzzing about her live performances. With this precocious talent already thrilling critics at her young age, nowÕs the perfect time to catch TORRES in concert.
