Teresa Storch
Over the past 4 years Boston based singer/songwriter Teresa Storch has moved
from the open mics in Boulder, CO to the Boston songwriters scene where she
is making her mark. Most recently she received an Honorable Mention in the
Rocky Mountain Folks Festival 2003 Songwriter's Showcase Competition and was selected as part of the “Boston’s
Best Singer/Songwriters” Showcase for 2003.
Originally from Omaha, Nebraska, it wasn’t until attending college in Colorado
five minutes from the famed “Red Rocks Amphitheatre” that she realized that why she
spent all her student loan money on shows was because she wanted to write
and perform her own music. Drawn to the local folk music scene of
Boston, she traversed the country in 1999 to settle in the Northeast.
With an authentic desire to connect through music (at 13 she wrote of longing
"to move people" through performing), "Moving" is a true description
of what she brings to a stage. Writing to remind us (and herself) of what's real
and really matters, her rich, engaging voice provides a satisfaction and a sense of home,
plus a peek into the struggles of love, life and dreams. Combined with intense,
percussive acoustic guitar, she accomplishes well what she set out to do
at 13.
Her first CD release “Muscle Memory” fuses these
with the rhythm section of Phil Antoniades (drums) and Jeff St. Pierre (bass),
typically seen with Todd Thibaud and Barbara Kessler,
creating a full sound most often compared to Jonatha Brooke or Natalie Merchant.
You will find
Teresa wherever she can do what she loves, connecting with people through
music, be it in clubs in Cambridge or a subway platform. She has shared
stages and sidewalks with the likes of Entrain, Kevin So, and Rachel Sage and
played venues in the West and Northeast. |
