Tori Moran and Josh St. Marie
Location: Village Wines
Date: Sat, May 19, 2012 @ 6:30PM - 9:00PM
Tori Moran and Josh St. Marie ~ wandered into the village, keyboard in hand, ready to sing their hearts out in an impromptu performance for 'the management'. A 'get to know you' session that we do with all potential performers. In their VW audition, this very young couple poured their souls into 'Falling Slowly', which melted our three judges in their chairs. Their voices intertwined in a delicious meloldy in a rendition of the Quest for Camelot's 'Looking Through Your Eyes'. Of course we booked them on the spot! This talented duet is only here for 3 more months until they head off to an infamous Boston music college. We plan to have them back as often as they are willing to come! Singing in the Snohomish Children’s Choir, they met when they were kids. Later they reconnected in their senior year of high school and since then have quickly become best friends. Starting in January of 2012, they decided to start playing soft vocal/piano music locally. Following their dream of pursing music as a career, they both have been accepted into Berklee College of Music in Boston and will be transferring there in the fall. Extreme vocals, harmoniously mixed into a melodic dance on a background of powerful piano chords and acoustic guitar riffs. This, and so much more, is Tori and Josh!

They quickly began doing what they love best, playing crowd-pleasing adult contemporary music as often as they could. In 2004 they moved from Spokane to Seattle, where they finished their second full-length album, and in 2010, they released their third album, "Wake Up Call." The Side Projects' music also has been played in Starbucks across the country and radio stations around the world. They're now touring the Northwest and beyond, mixing it up between performances as a duo and adding stand up bassist Adrian Libertini & violinist Titus Munteanu to form a unique and full organic sound that pleases the ear and the heart. A fourth album is in the works, a cover album titled "Cover Up" dedicated to songs that inspire love, laughter and a lifetime of music. Watch & hear The Side Project's featured track—Whitney Houston's "I Wanna Dance with Somebody"—on the hit TV show "So You Think You Can Dance."
