Victoria Victoria
Tori Elliott's deep love of harmony is the driving force that shapes her soul-pop musical endeavor, Victoria Victoria.
Compared to the likes of modern songwriting giants, Maggie Rogers, Regina Spektor and Carole King, Elliott leans into lusciously stacked harmonies and entrancing melodies. Her songs speak to the relatability and nuances of love, relationship and growing older.
“I don’t need anyone’s permission, to think that I’m gold
I don’t need anyone’s well wishing, or to do what I’m told
And if I tried to get to heaven, I’d find myself back home
Playing music in my kitchen, wearing nothing but my robe”
2022 saw the release of Victoria Victoria's album, To the Wayside, which is a collaborative effort with guitarist and produce, Charlie Hunter. "Writing these songs with Charlie was an otherworldly experience," says Elliot. "Arranging these songs for our live show was even more incredible." Hunter and Elliott teamed up to write glossy anthems of self acceptance such as Over My Shoulder and Move Right On, and enticing tunes of invitation like. Really Really and Keep Up.
January of 2023 marked Victoria Victoria's debut tour with Charlie Hunter on hybrid guitar, her brother Noah Elliott on keys and vocals, her dear friend and collaborator, Maia Kamil on vocals, and renowned Memphis drummer, George Sluppik. The rhythm section makes for a sturdy foundation for transcendent vocal performances and inviting banter. The charism and kinship between the band members left listeners with the sense that each Victoria Victoria show is truly a family affair.
