SOLD OUT! This was Tori’s only Lubbock concert in quite some time (before or after), and it was officially sold out 10 days prior to the concert date.
And Tori brought her “A” game with her! Everyone who attended was treated to the very best Tori has to offer – the best of her amazing performance abilities, the best of her new songs, and yes, even a few of the best of her previously released songs. In addition, Tori brought an intimate, engaging stage presence that shows just how comfortable she has become in her own skin. It was a solo performance by a woman who clearly knows how to engage an audience without leaning on anyone else. She was both inspired and inspiring!
The purpose of this concert was to give her Lubbock fans a unique opportunity to send Tori Vasquez on a Nationwide Tour of virtually every major city in the US! And it all starts right here in Lubbock, back in Tori’s home town.
Tori has been given the opportunity to open for Blue October in a nationwide tour! East coast, West coast, you name the major city, and this tour will hit it – New York, Boston, Philly, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco Los Angeles – just to name a few! From September 4th through late October (plus a final date of November 30th), Tori will be taking her music across the USA!
And it involves a big responsibility – as well as a big risk – for Tori, because she has sole responsibility for every aspect of her participation in this tour! From putting together and paying her own touring band, to providing transportation, to hotels and meals, and everything else that goes in to a huge undertaking like this. It all falls on Tori’s shoulders, including the financial responsibility. This concert was Lubbock’s opportunity to help share that responsibility, and Lubbock stepped up to the plate, with donations above and beyond the cost of admission, including donations from some people who were not even able to attend!
This tour is in perfect timing with her new CD release, which will help her music find its way into the hearts and minds of literally thousands of new Tori Vasquez fans across the nation. But none of it will be possible without some kind of underwriting, and Tori needs our help to make it financially feasible. It’s a small investment that each of us can make in someone we all believe in, which will pay huge dividends down the road. So many people brought more than the $20 admission, and 100% of all revenue goes directly to Tori in support of this tour. Each of those who helped Tori through this concert have also helped the world discover her incredible talent that we all know and love so well.
Remember, this was more than just another house concert – it was Lubbock’s opportunity to say “We are behind you, Tori! We love you, we support what you are doing, and we believe in you!” And, believe it, Tori received that message, with gratitude and joy!
Tori’s new CD will be out soon. Read more about her new CD and her new music in an interview with Tori below.
