The press release for Anthony Parsons & TorQue


Anthony Parsons & TorQue



 
Steve Luongo and Mark Hitt have been playing music together for decades.  These two seasoned musicians began a 40 year musical history lesson as original members of the legendary Rat Race Choir in the ‘70s.  In 2001 Steve was on a break from touring with The John Entwistle Band when he and Mark started recording in the studio.  Later that year they formed TorQue and those original sessions resulted in the release of “TorQue 103103” to rave reviews. TorQue went on to perform or record with some of the biggest names in music history like John Entwistle (The Who), Brian Johnson & Cliff Williams (AC/DC), Leslie West (Mountain), Jack Bruce (Cream), Eddie Money, Mark Farner (Grand Funk Railroad) and the list goes on. Robin Zander called them “one of the best bands in the world.”  Zander backs that up by continuing to tour with the trio including bassist Larry Hobbs under the banner Robin Zander Band.  It should be noted they are far more than a backup band. They are all virtual masters at their craft. Anthony Parsons is a young singer from England who was discovered by Bitsa Talent a few years ago. They signed the 22 year old artist to their management team & began developing his obvious natural talents. This singer-songwriter, who also plays guitar and keyboards, has been collaborating extensively with TorQue in the studio. Together they have recorded enough material to release no less than three albums in three completely different genres. They did this specifically looking for the right material for Anthony.  But, they all soon realized that together no matter what they recorded they created a truly unique sound that was prevalent in any style. What began as a platform for Anthony Parson’s vocal career wound up being the beginning of a truly unified musical project. Anthony Parsons & TorQue have merged 40 plus years of passion and experience with the youth and vibrancy of an exciting new artist. The result is a stunning journey through decades of great rock songs that blend seamlessly with their own new original material.  Anthony Parsons & TorQue – The definitive future of classic rock. This is the American debut of Anthony Parsons & TorQue. Their initial three day Florida run will end with a once in a lifetime opportunity for fans to attend a recording session at The Hideaway Recording Studio in St. Petersburg, FL.  You will be able to watch first hand as these artists go through the process of recording music for a summer release and launch a new artist's career.
