TORIE TYSON at "All Girl Night" at the Key Club

If there'?s one band out there that I can't get enough of, it's TORIE TYSON and her group of talented backing musicians. I've played her CD so many times I can sing every song word for word. "Watch Where You Touch", "You Are My Baby" and one of my favorites "User" are great pop rock songs with catchy chorus parts, great hooks and an overall intense energy. Torie dominates the stage with natural ease and is as spontaneous as you can get. An explosive ball of energy, Torie's intense delivery of vocals and her stage performance has the potential to gain her stardom in an emerging music scene supporting females. Newest members in the band on Keyboards is Unity and guitarist Victor Sanchez who joins lead guitarist Alex Kane, bassist Yell and Garner Knutson on drums. Adding a powerful wail of background vocals is Gail MacGregor. A brand new song called "You Push Me Down" has a hook that just grabs you and will not let go. That's probably why that?'s the opening song. The last song of this energized set is "I Really Want You", during which the band is introduced to the audience during the slow part of what is her fastest, most powerful song. From start to finish you can always count on an intimate rock 'n' roll experience with TORIE TYSON.
