All original songs performed in the Americana tradition.

Tornado Alley is a four piece
acoustic band that features songs from singer / songwriters: Tim Huss, Vincent Crici, Lora Kendall and guest artist
and founding member Sonny Speed with Robert Langley on percussion. The sound is pure Americana with a generous helping of three & four-part harmonies. Founded about three years ago, the
concept was to put together writers that would complement each other and to create new songs that revisit the acoustic American
sound of an earlier time. A time when electric guitars and big amplifiers were put aside and musicians picked up their acoustic
guitars and focused on the vocals and the writing. Following that tradition, Tornado Alley offers an array of styles from
the American back roads that will have you feeling like you’re on a cross-country road trip with your radio on. Tornado
Alley captures the feeling in song, of traveling from New England’s folk scene to the Bluegrass Region, across the Texas prairies, up through the Rockies and out
to California. While each member of the band is an accomplished soloist who has
been playing the local scene for some time, together they find new inspiration for their writing and arranging. A typical
Tornado Alley set is just like the name implies, with songs whirling together to create a new acoustic landscape. They all
blend nicely, from Vinny’s breezy “Love Can Learn” to Tim’s gospel styled “Dear Lord,”
to the classic delivery of Lora's "Sweet Love Forever". These songs all stir up visions of a simpler American
life. On top of that, add some great instrumentation and Robert Langley’s tasty percussion and you get the authentic
Americana sound of Tornado Alley. Audiences
at Tornado Alley’s shows have truly been caught up in the band’s sound. The band has released its 1st
full length self titled CD. Click the link to CD Baby to hear some samples. |
