"A little bit of folk; a little bit of country; a whole lot of raspy cut-to-the-heart feeling." - Rolling Stone SA

After taking a short hiatus to make babies, Shotgun Tori is back on the road, (and on a stage) with new songs and stories about a different life. With a full band album release due for early next year, she's keen to reconnect with her audience as a solo artist before the 'band sound' takes precedence. This show should be a particularly special one with Emma Du Preez, and at this intimate venue. Expect some collaboration.

Shotgun Tori (indie folk singer/songwriter) is, at heart, a storyteller. Her touching, raw vocal delivery is both tender and powerful, and her music puts you on the spot, in the moment.

Emma is a singer/songwriter based in Cape Town, South Africa whose brand of post-modern indie-folk is self-aware, smart and emotionally authentic. Pretty, poignant and quirky; her sound has been likened to artists like Suzanne Vega, with an emphasis on lyrical craftsmanship and nostalgic story-telling, and early Jewel, with an intensely emotive vocal delivery and hints of Americana and bluegrass influences.

This performance is part of Shotgun Tori is hitting the road on a cross-country Regional tour from Cape Town to Namibia, supported by Concerts SA and the SAMRO Foundation. 'Where We Left Off' tour willto reconnect Tori with herself and woth her audience as a solo singer/songwriter before releasing her new (crowdfunded) full-band album early next year.
