Tourneforte

"When the music world came to a halt thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, South Carolina alt-rock band Tourneforte stepped back and took stock of what they had and how to move forward.
Deciding to take this time to grow as people and artists, singer/guitar player James Uzzel sat down and wrote “Swimming Lessons”, a love letter to the way people grow and how those experiences in turn change us.
Recorded at The Lab with visionary workhorse Matt Tuton and inspired by long standing alternative acts such as Into It. Over It., Hot Mulligan and Weatherbox, “Swimming Lessons” is as earnest as it is powerful with each motion serving as a reminder that the people and places we come to know only inspire us in our future endeavors.
Songs like “November”, “Permanence” and “Better” captivate with a desire for recollection and personal accountability, where songs like “Growing With The Weeds”, “Stonewall” and “Swimming Lessons” act as a call to arms for growth and the challenge that comes alongside that notion.
“Swimming Lessons” will only continue to surprise you as you listen to these reminders of the fact that we are only the best versions of who we were." - Cody Constantine
