Less Than Famous

Together since 2001, Less Than Famous has reformed and is back with a vengeance. LTF has lit a new flame and is building a fire in the hearts of their collective and diverse fans. Six musicians whose passion on stage not only expresses the bond they share for the music but is a reflection of the love from people who appreciate and understand it. Attempting to shun genre tags, LTF's interest is to transcend boundaries and gain fans who ordinarily might not venture outside their musical comfort zone.

Attempting to shun genre tags, LTF's interest is to transcend boundaries and gain fans who ordinarily might not venture outside their musical comfort zone. Complex song structures, emotional lyrics and off-center rhythms combine with progressive, experimental guitar riffs and melodic elements for an infectious sound.



The music is like a sweet ocean breeze that gently carries you away like a hypnotic swing ..just as you begin drifting off...delivers the sledgehammer punch of a giant tsunami that knocks you off your hammock, throws you into the crashing surf, and leaves you begging for more.

Tora grew up performing in show choirs and by the time she was 11, had a respectable solo career. Tora was an American Idol 5 contestant and fronted the bands Heartfelt Confessions and Inamorato. Tora's versatile range from soulful vocal melodies to heart-stopping screaming, creates a huge dynamic to Less Than Famous' music.
