Teresa Storch Band
Experiencing Teresa Storch Band, you first feel a solid, rhythmic energy: the pulse of a meditative ballad or the infectious groove of a jam-rock tune. Next, a catchy, guitar-laden melody. Then, lyrics pull at your heart and soul. It's the result of a singer/songwriter from the Boston area joining forces with a rock guitarist from New Jersey, and soaking up the Colorado jam scene.
Teresa Storch Band grew organically from the meeting of (now husband and wife) Teresa Storch and Peter Lacis. Storch’s soulful voice and lyrics combine with Lacis’ soaring and complex guitar arrangements, creating an original, genre-pushing rock sound with jam and roots origins. As a duo, Storch & Lacis have toured internationally, performing at festivals in the UK and US. Teresa Storch Band now includes musicians Chad Mathis on bass, drummer/recording engineer Chris Wright, and Brian Juan on keys from the vibrant Boulder, CO scene.
TSB released their full-blown rock-pop album ‘Open Your Heart’ in 2024. The album spent 3 months in the top 25 of the Jambands.com radio chart and was a Relix Magazine Featured Artist for their September 2024 playlist. Teresa's songwriting has been honored by the Kerrville Folk Festival New Folk Competition, the Rocky Mountain Folks Fest Songwriter Competition, and as a Falcon Ridge Folk Festival Emerging Artist.
‘For all the dynamic gritty, improvisation laced pop, rock, funk and jam band music and grooves on their album Open Your Heart, the focus isn’t so much on Storch’s powerhouse emotional voice [or] Lacis’ versatile guitarisma ....They’re all about the hard hitting, no nonsense and incisive at times but leaning hopeful messaging at a fraught time in our sociopolitical history.’
