LOS ANGELES, CA. (Top40 Charts/ Luck Media & Marketing) -A sultry and sweet chanteuse one minute, a bold and edgy rocker the next, singer/songwriter Wensday brings a magical multiple personality to her explosive debut album Torch Rock. Her diverse musical backgrounds as a jazz and rock singer, combined with her blues and classical training make Wensday simply way too cool to peg. Since graduating with a drama degree from NYU complemented her sophisticated jazz gigs with work as a body piercer in renowned tattoo parlors in Miami and Atlanta and teacher, director, vocal coach, playwright and Associate Director at the All Childrens Theatre in her hometown of Providence, RI. Rock legend Alice Cooper — a native of Phoenix, where Wensday moved to pursue her career last year — sums it up this way: 'Wensday is the other girl next door.' Gearing up for the February 28 release of Torch Rock, Wensday had her local coming out party in the desert at Christmas Pudding, the annual event Cooper does every year for The Solid Rock Foundation, the organization he started to benefit local Christian youths. Sharing a bill with Don Felder, Stephen Stills, Tesla and American Idol finalist Ace Young among others, Wensday moved the crowd with heart searing versions of 'Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas' and 'Only Women Bleed,' the classic pop ballad Cooper wrote with longtime collaborator and legendary guitarist Dick Wagner (Alice Cooper, Lou Reed, Kiss, Aerosmith, Hall & Oates, Air Supply). Wagner produced and wrote or co-wrote all 13 tracks of Torch Rock. Wensday's powerful take on 'Only Women Bleed' draws fresh attention to its enduring theme of empowering women to overcome the cycle of domestic abuse. It joins three other emotionally compelling songs — 'The Rise And Fall Of Love,' 'After You' and 'Arizona Man' — on a four track EP that Desert Dreams (led by music industry veterans Alex Cyrell and Suzy Michelson) is using as part of a unique incremental radio marketing approach to introducing Wensday's remarkable talents to music fans in North America.
