Tor talked about his memories growing up in New York City and traveling with friends. The songs sounded good, but nothing that got the crowd dancing or moving. He opened with “All Fall Down” and then “Midnight,” both of which are off his new EP. He closed his opening set with a one of his original songs, but with the audience snapping and clapping the beats in substitution of any instruments or tracks, which was a unique experience and left the crowd intrigued. He was talented, funny, and extremely casual with the crowd. The opener, Sean Miller who is also the lead guitarist in Tor’s band, played a short set.
I settled for an okay spot off to the side, mostly because I did not want to fight for a better view against the competitive-looking girls holding their spots inches from the grand piano that Tor Miller would soon play. Miller had just released an EP titled American English, which subsequently led him on tour.Īfter waiting for doors to open 40 minutes after they were supposed to, the short line waiting to get into the Red Room at Cafe 939 quickly filled up with fans attempting to get as close to the stage as possible. Please downvote if incorrect! Self-deletes if score is 0.I had decided to go to Tor Miller because his music and a small venue sounded like a good place to spend a Thursday evening. Last.fm: 39,863 listeners, 132,848 plays tags: seen live, american His first debut EP, Headlights EP, containing four songs that includes the positively reviewed "Midnight" was released in February 2015. Miller was signed to the independent label, Glassnote Records in early 2014 and subsequently dropped out from NYU due to scheduling problems (especially since he played music in a number of NYC venues). He also spent his weekends playing piano at places such as Rockwood Music Hall, The Bitter End, and the burlesque bar, Slipper Room in the East Village. When he was 18 years old, Tor Miller went to New York University, specifically Clive Davis School of Recorded Music. During his high school, he started a pop-punk band. From there, Miller started to develop singing and writing songs. He started to play piano after his parents set up a lesson with a piano teacher who he said to be "a laid-back New Jersey wedding singer". "Ziggy Stardust, Elton John’s Greatest Hits, and Rumors by Fleetwood Mac, so I just listened to those non-stop, back and forth, all the time." To counter the boredom during the long drive, Miller’s mother gave him albums to listen during the commute, including David Bowie, Elton John and Fleetwood Mac, which sparked his interest in music. Originally from Brooklyn, New York, Miller moved with his mother to New Jersey after a brief separation of his parents, although his school was still located in the city.
