Laurie Torres - Aprés Coup Tour

Information

On the 12th of December Laurie Torres will be joining us at the Pianodrome, in it's brand new location at St. Oswalds Church in Bruntsfield, support TBA.

Laurie Torres is a Canadian musician and composer raised in Montréal, Québec by Haitian parents. Since 2008, she has been a trusted stage and studio performer for Julia Jacklin, Pomme, andLand of Talk, with live tours spanning across Canada, the United States, Europe, the UK, and Australia. She was also a founding member of Folly & The Hunter, with whom she recorded four studio albums and toured Canada, Europe and the UK.

Growing up in South Shore, an eclectic love for music bloomed, traversing hip-hop (Nas, Missy Elliott), Motown, household rotations of 70s-80s Haitian music and pop before deep diving into post-rock local royalty Godspeed You! Black Emperor. As a child, Torres began classical piano lessons which continued into her teenage years, where she went on to pick up drums, playing high school bands and jazz ensembles, embedding herself in Montréal’s enriching community.

In 2023, Laurie shifted focus to work on her own creations, a process of making time - the will and the need becoming omnipresent, leading to what would be her ‘Correspondances’ ep named by NPR in their weekly Best New Music. Her debut album, which centers around the piano, drums and synthesizer, was released on February 21st 2025 on the genre blurring label imprint Tonal Union.

The new album 'Aprés Coup' is an exceptional release which quickly secured its place as one of our top picks of 2025. Drifting between blissed-out ambient and contemporary classical, it doesn’t fit neatly into either genre—instead, it carves out its own space: supremely gentle yet quietly invigorating. - Good Vibes Record Store
