Search - Wensday :: Torch Rock

A sultry and sweet chanteuse one minute, a bold and edgy rocker the next, singer/songwriter WENSDAY brings a magical multiple personality to her explosive debut album whose title forges an exciting new musical hybrid: TORCH ROCKTM. Rock legend, Alice Cooper, calls Wensday, the OTHER girl next door. Wensday is an exotic young woman of contrasts: she s been a piercing artist, a jazz singer and a rocker and Associate Director of All Children's Theatre in her hometown of Providence, Rhode Island. A graduate of NYU and a student at Oxford University, Wensday is covered in eloquent artistic tattoos on more than 50% of her body. Her diverse musical backgrounds as a jazz and rock singer, combined with the colorful influences of her blues and classical training, make WENSDAY simply way too cool to peg. Multiple hit songwriter and legendary guitarist DICK WAGNER (Alice Cooper, Lou Reed, Kiss, Aerosmith, AirSupply) produced TORCH ROCKTM and wrote or co-wrote all 13 tracks of the TORCH ROCKTM album. Wagner plays lead guitar throughout the CD; and he has assembled a brilliant group of musicians, including Fred Mandel (Elton John, Queen, Alice Cooper), Bobby Flores (Grammy winning arranger and Country Instrumentalist of the Year), Nils Lofgren (Bruce Springsteen), to record Wensday's musical debut. "After a long time trying to figure out what style I do best, I truly get to do it all on Torch Rock," says Wensday." I think the album conveys that I'm a singer, first and foremost.... Connecting emotionally with people is the most important thing to me." Wensday s producer, Dick Wagner, says, "Wensday has a voice that bridges the world of rock/blues with jazz and country. Wensday embodies a new genre of music that combines the new with the old, in which romance and hard edge combine to create a fresh and passionate new music that I call, 'Torch Rock.' This is a voice that can rock your world and then soothe your wounds right after." Speaking about her powerful creative chemistry with Wagner, Wensday says, "It's an honor to work with Dick, who is a legendary writer and musician, but I think of myself as something of an old soul, so it's a good match. Most of the songs are about love, relationships and female empowerment, all issues that are meaningful to me. It's never been about fame and money for me because those only follow when you do what you love. I just want people to like it and to understand where I am coming from. That's what this great journey is all about."
