"Sanft und ganz leise erklingen die Melodien von Torben Stock. Wie bei vielen Singer/Songwritern hat auch der Hamburger den Hang zur Melancholie. Mit seiner zauberhaften Gitarrenmusik möchte der Newcomer nicht nur die Herzen der Hörer erfreuen – vor allem geht es ihn um die Zusammenarbeit mit Gleichgesinnten."
(Yagaloo - Musikmagazin, TV Berlin, September 2008)
„Torben Stock zeigt melancholisch gelassen, dass er den Großen seines Genres nur im Bekanntheitsgrad wirklich hinterher hinkt.“ (Byte FM)
“Torben Stock is more of a personal artist, sings about his own little dreams, big and small. His songs are often really simple but at the same time incredibly versatile in its category. He lives in Hamburg and last year he came out with his album, Troubador. […] He has a silky smooth baritone voice which has a great amount of precision and flexibility in expression.”
(Morgunblaðið, Reykjavik, Iceland, June 2008)

My first EP "the moon, some trees & me" (recorded & produced by Micheal Jürgens at sperrton studio, 2005) is available for download at FAIRtracks. Produced by Dirk Simmig (e.g. Sport, Superpunk) I recorded the full-length follow up "Troubador" at Hamburg 0db-Studios in early 2007. "Troubador" is available at my live shows or via privat mail order - just get in touch
In October 2006 and June 2008 I have been touring Iceland with fellow tourbadours Owls of the Swamp (AUS) and Svavar Knútur (IS). Together we founded the The International Troubadour Conspiracy (ITC) which aims to help and support independent and like minded artists. Another main project of the ITC are the worldwide "Melodica Acoustic Festivals" that we set up in each of our home cities.
Currently I’m writing and recording new songs for my next album and starting to work out the third Hamburg , which will take place from Nobember 6th-8th 2009.

Hi Torben.. Thanks for taking the time to listen! I realy love your music, nice and relazing my favorite song is "Rocket", great chord progression.. Your voice really comes throught in that track!! You should release it as a single!!! I hope you..re having a great week!! Have fun, Josh
Torben, what wonderful songs played and sung masterfully!!! What a pleasure. Thanks for the friendship and for sharing you fantastic music. I enjoyed each and every one but I thought "Sad Movie Song" was wonderful! The playoing and vocals on "Losing You" were so beautiful. I dislike people like you who can pick so beautifully when my fat stubby fingers resign me to a percussive strum :) But I thought "From A Distance" was brilliant. Everything from the lyrics to the chord structure, from the playing to your great vocals. Wonderful man. Thanks again, I truly appreciate it. be well
