Details:
I am a singer/songwriter in love with music and the guitar.
I knew I REALLY loved rock music in the third grade when I heard Men at Work's "Land Down Under", The Police's "King of Pain," Pat Benatar's "Shadows of the Night" and Billy Idol's "Catch My Fall," all in the same amazing year.

I started writing poetry in high school, accompanied by wax-dripping candles and music by The Smiths and Depeche Mode set on repeat. I was inspired to pick up the guitar at age 18 after hearing Hole's "Live Through This." I am a member of Songsalive!, a guerilla networking group for independent artists, as well as of CDBaby. I'm a journalist, music and otherwise, a published poet, and a teacher.

My first self-released album, Nicotine Angel, is ready to go, and I'm currently working on a 4-song EP called Look at Me. I hope the EP will develop into a second full-length album. Both recordings are produced by Andrew Chapin of The Den Recorders (www.thedenrecorders.com). It's time for me to start performing and promoting.

The catchiest song off Nicotine Angel, "Trainsong" is featured in an independent film called "The Journey," which was created by a writer/filmmaker friend of mine named Scott Marcano. Find out about this film at

I'm 33. I'm a cancer. I write every day. I listen to music every day. I teach. I worship at the shrine of Chrissie Hynde. Check out my myspace site, myspace.com/sarahtorribio, if you like poetry and musings as well as music.
