“I went to the Eric Clapton Crossroads Festival when I was seven,” says Emily Tooraen, guitarist with the New York trio Tchotchke. “ZZ Top and B.B. King were playing – and that was really special to see at a young age. I feel like that festival really got me into that music, so I keep that with me.”
It wasn’t long before Tooraen embarked on a guitar journey of her own, passing through various musical endeavors before joining drummer Anastasia Sanchez and bassist Eva Chambers, who had been jamming together since high school, in 2019.
