Al Torchia and the Tattered Saints

Al Torchia's talent is undeniable, in both his songwriting and his performing. Pure American rock-n-roll best describes the sound. His songs skillfully capture the sunny essence of Florida, which should come as no surprise since Al's very proud of his hometown of Tampa Bay. Despite his talent, Al knew he needed to put together a band to achieve the big sound that he heard with his songs. The Tattered Saints: Tyler Medley joined the band as our stronghold at lead guitar. Also a Florida native, he spent time playing in Gainesville then relocated to Tampa. He's been in the band since it's conception. His style of playing is the unique touch these songs call for. Andrew Craven, long time childhood friend of Al’s started out filling in on bass when the group seemed to be a revolving door of players. He’s now a cornerstone of the group. He’s also a well read librarian. Steve Rosiky first became part of the picture when the band started recording at his studio in Pinellas Park, Fl. After laying down the keys for their debut record, the question arose…why not just join the band. He’s a music teacher, above all though. The band is currently looking for a new drummer and sax player Al and the band are currently finishing up 8 new songs, for their debut album, at Black Toe Studio with engineer and producer/keys player Steve Rosiky. The tunes are some of the most mature Al has written yet. The boys have just begun to really work on booking a full calendar of shows, in order to promote the upcoming album. Keep an eye out. .. ..
