Taylor Tote’s Fighter Set For Tuesday Release
Singer-Songwriter will perform 9 to midnight Saturday at The Asbury
Due to be released via iTunes Tuesday, Taylor Tote’s “Fighter” is a collaborative anthem to and from the youngest among us who have faced a cancer diagnosis.
Tote, 21, cowrote the single with 6-year-old acute lymphoblastic leukemia survivor [ALL] Natalie Grace and her 9-year-old sister Hannah Rose Gorsegner last year.
Along with a chorus of children who have faced the diagnosis, Tote and the Gorsegner girls shot the track’s video at the Middletown Fire station in July.
Tote, who will perform from 9 to midnight Saturday at Asbury Park’s newest hotel and entertainment venue The Asbury, has just returned from Washington D.C. where she performed at CureFest for Childhood Cancer.
“What an honor it was to perform at this year’s CureFest,” she shared with her over 9,000 fans via social media. “The girls and I sang “Fighter” followed by me singing their favorite song “Just Like Fire” by Pink!”
The songstress made an early impression on the local music scene after capturing first place in the May 2013 New Jersey Talent Search with her original song “Jane.”
Influenced by the venerable Amy Winehouse, Grace Potter, Adele, Maroon 5, Train, and Stevie Nicks, Totes soulful sound has garnered her a number of accolades, including a Top Female Vocalist nomination from the Asbury Music Award [AMA] in 2015.
Tote quickly formed a bond with the Gorsegner girls after their parents, who sought an entertainer for a fundraising event, introduced them. Soon she was babysitting the young duo and writing collaboration was underway.
“…Fighter” is performed and co-written with Natalie and Hannah, recorded at Lakehouse Studios with my full band and a choir of children cancer survivors and those still fighting cancer,” Tote has said.
All proceeds from the song/video will go toward childhood cancer research, Tote said.
