Edit history

Torchlines is an acoustic/alternative folk project from creative James Peters who writes and lives in the Blue Mountains. Torchlines mixes elements of modern indie folk with more the traditional singer-songwriter styles of days past. James grew up with the sounds of Eagles, Cat Stevens and Roy Orbison in his family home and took up percussion in 2005 at the age of 13. Rebelling like most teenagers tend to do, James performed in the deathcore band The Endless Pandemic before moving on to other things in 2010. Since then, James has been involved in several music projects, such as performing in a Jazz trio accompanying the ‘Turning Tricks’ Magic act (Anywhere Festival 2018, Brisbane) as well as playing drums for Brisbane based rock band Semester. James now busks regularly throughout the Blue Mountains. Swapping the drumsticks for a microphone and acoustic guitar, Torchlines brings together this mixed history in an effort to write stories about kinship, self-discovery and love. The
