Band to Watch: The Tor Miller Band

When The Tor Miller Band took the stage last Saturday at Don Hills, I quickly realized this is not your average high school band. Mixing up their set with originals as well as covers ranging from Ray Charles and Creedence Clearwater Revival to the Beatles and Tina Turner, the six-piece impressed all in attendance.

I can’t even count the number of people who came up to me after the show asking if the band had any CDs they could purchase. Pretty impressive for a group that formed just over six months ago. The way frontman Tor Miller worked the crowd energized the room and had many of my family and friends captivated. A 15-year-old kid who could make some of my 25-year-old friends swoon is a feat in itself. Move over Jonas Brothers, Tor Miller Band is here.

Special thanks to Wendy Hu for capturing the night on video. Watch a few videos below and for more, visit You Sing, I Write’s YouTube page here.
