Teresa Storch Band and their original soulful roots-rock grew from the meeting of (now husband and wife) Teresa Storch and Peter Lacis. Storch's soulful voice and lyrics combine with Lacis' soaring and complex guitar arrangements, creating an original, genre-pushing rock sound with jam and roots origins. As a duo, Storch & Lacis have toured internationally, performing at festivals in England, Scotland and Ireland. Now, Teresa Storch Band includes bassist Chad E. Mathis and drummer/recording engineer Chris Wright (both from Billy Shaddox, Antonio Lopez Bands), musicians from the vibrant Boulder scene.
Previously, Peter Lacis played with jam/funk/prog/pop bands in New Jersey (Barbuda, Jackson Observer) and Colorado (Sylva, Johnny & The Mongrels, Broken Holmes) and studied under Wayne Krantz and David Fiuczynski. Teresa Storch steeped herself in the subways and coffeehouses of the New England folk scene after transplanting to the Boston area. The two connected musically in 2013 in Boulder, CO after Storch had paused her 8 years of touring troubadour life, while Lacis was looking for local musicians to play with. Their common ground? A mutual love of live music, and especially Jam bands.
Storch's last solo record 'Come Clean' from 2014 included Peter Lacis on guitar, along with Phil Parker (Gregory Alan Isakov), Bridget Law (Elephant Revival), and Garret Sayers (The Motet). It garnered international attention, chosen for The Top Country/Americana Albums of 2015 by Martin Chilton of The Telegraph (UK). John Apice of No Depression Magazine stated "Emmylou Harris would find a wealth of inspiration in these songs..." Previously she'd worked with Grammy winning producer Ben Wisch for her 2008 'Stream of Concrete' album. Storch was chosen a 2015 GrassyHill New Folk Finalist at the Kerrville Folk Festival, selected as an Emerging Artist at the 2015 Falcon Ridge Folk Festival, and received Honorable Mention in the 2015 Rocky Mountain Folks Fest Songwriter's Competition.
In 2020 Teresa Storch Band began recording a full length album with drummer Travis Moberg (Sylva, Dang'o) and producer Tony Dickinson, who tours with the rock-arena show Trans-Siberian Orchestra. The result is the full-blown rock-pop album 'Open Your Heart', whose first single "Things Will Get Better" was released in November 2023 and the full album in April 2024. 'Open Your Heart' spent 3 months in the top 25 on the Jambands.com radio chart and was featured on Relix Magazine's Featured Artist Playlist for September/October 2024.
