Ted Update - new record - touring


Hello one and all,

It is good to be getting back in touch with you all.

I am hitting the road next week to do some Southeast dates and some great news .... 
my new record, Night owl, is done.

The Kickstarter fundraising campaign was a success and we raised over $7,000 to finish the record. 
Thank you to all those who supported from near and far.
The CDs have been manufactured and I will be sending them out to the people who supported me in the fundraising campaign in the next few days.

They will be available for sale on website within the next week.
I hope you all enjoy this record as much as my earlier records. 

The official release date will be in January and the first CD release tour will be 
Sweden, Holland, Germany, Finland and Belgium.
But don't worry, I will have them with me to sell on the road for the rest of my dates this year and I will be doing US CD release tours throughout 2013.

June Southeast and CA dates / the low down


Hello one and all,

Great news. My fundraising campaign for the new record, Night Owl, was a success. I raised over $7,000 to finish the record. I have been hard at work overdubbing and mixing. I should be done with the music this month. Then on to the photos shoots and graphic design... I want to thank everyone who contributed (again). I hope you enjoy this record as much as my earlier records.

And I had a great three week tour in Europe. Thanks to everyone who I worked with on a show and all the new friends I made - and to all those in the US who stayed in touch and were supportive from afar. Holland, Germany, Finland and Belgium were all great.


GET BACK TO THE LAND came out in the US in MAY '11. It made the top 100 Americana Records of 2011 and debuted at #1 on the Euroamericana Chart.
