Tori Forsyth is making waves on the music scene and after signing with Lost Highway Records earlier this year, her latest single Grave Robber’s Daughter has been met with rave reviews.
The single is the first to be lifted on her debut album which observes the world around us and pressures of power and social norms.
Produced by ARIA, APRA and Golden Guitar Winner Shane Nicholson, Grave Robber’s Daughter offers a taste of what to expect from the young artist’s eclectic mix of self-penned songs, set for release early 2018.
Forsyth’s fans or those curious about the young talent can catch her at the Cattleman Steakhouse on Wednesday, October 4 from 7.30pm where she’ll be joined by Carl the Bartender.
“It’s going really well for something so different,” she said of the new single.
“It’s good to get positive feedback, it’s really awesome – we took a bit of a risk with that one.

“The film clip is open to interpretation, it’s not given to you and you’re not spoon fed (with the story line).”
Forsyth said the new single was written on a plane trip between Nashville and Texas.
“I wrote it while tripping around the states, it was one of those things that wrote themselves and was how I was feeling in that time,” she said.
She’s been supporting Shane Nicholson on his love and blood tour and said there was no one else who she’d rather create her debut album with.
She’s had a hand in writing the songs on the debut album and it’s something she said she’s proud of.
“Working with Shane on this record was a given after he engineered my debut EP and I feel privileged to have him so involved.” she said.
“There was a really special energy present while creating the album
”I think it’s got a lot of different themes through the whole album. It is virtually the last two years of my life in 11 songs.
“You’ll definitely hear a lot of different sounds. When creating this album I wanted to have everything – my taste is pretty eclectic.
“One day I’ll be listening to Metallica and the other I’ll listen to Faith Hill.”
She said she’s looking forward to heading back to Tamworth, where she’ll catch up with her manager, local award winning artist Aleyce Simmonds.
“I’m excited, I haven’t played in Tamworth since Hat’s Off (festival), its going to be great” she said.
