Bio

Victoria Storm’s songs are an introspective commentary on the classic themes of the joys and struggles of relationships, loss and success, resentment and release.

When arranged for trio, the songs are often explored acoustically through guitar, cello, violin and women’s voices. Sometimes there’s bass or ukulele or melodica. But you will always find good melodies and heartfelt sentiments.

Victoria’s 2017 EP release “Hidden,” showcases some of those tunes and can be found on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and other streaming platforms.

Her trio includes multi-instrumentalist and singer Katie Bender, who spends her time with The Herbal Remedies, and other local ensembles. On bass and cello is Don Kovach, who spends his days (often five in one week) telling bad dad jokes to middle school orchestra students.

When playing with her 6-piece rock/blues/folk band Kettlestrings, the songs take on a different energy and life. You can hear her tunes and Kettlestrings’ cover songs at their live shows in the Chicago area.

The re-release on the 22-year anniversary of "I Wanna Be Kate - The Songs of Kate Bush" is eagerly anticipated in September 2020 when Thomas Dunning brings together all the artists for another go around of a beloved project grounded in community.  Details are forthcoming.

Victoria is working on a series of singles to release in 2020-21, and looks forward to seeing friends old and new online and back at live venues as we manage these strange days of the pandemic together.  What happy days those will be.  

Stay safe out there.  Wear your mask.
