Press Release, March 19. 2024
Dave Teichroeb’s new album, ROAD POETS, is finished! Fans have two great album release events to help celebrate the launch. The first is a listening party (think audio art opening) at the Gabriola Theatre Centre April6th 6:30-9pm. The album will be played on a stellar sound system. Eye candy videos for the songs will be shown on a screen. Enjoy mingling and the chance to meet many of the folks responsible for creating the new album. Admission is by donation.
And on April 13th 7-9 pm, head on over to The Queen’s in Nanaimo for a full-on album release concert. The Queen’s is one of the best performance spaces on the west coast still supporting local, live music.
From 90’s rocker to Texas styled singer/songwriter, Dave Teichroeb is back with this 10 song rock album. Teichroeb pulls the best from his 70’s and 80’s influences, and blends this with his love of modern Americana music. His first full album recording in 15 years is a knockout punch of catchy, riff -driven, story songs. ROAD POETS feels old and new. Teichroeb talk/sings his words like poetry with clever turns of phrase and insight into the human condition. The world is reflected back to us locally and globally through his thoughtful eyes.
Co-produced with Ron Cote, ROAD POETS was recorded and mixed on Gabriola using Ron’s Road Runner mobile studio. Road Poets, the band, is Dave Teichroeb (vocals/guitar), Kelly Field (bass) and Andreas Kahre (drums). Musical guests include Brad Shipley (guitar), Tina Jones (vocals), Pierre Schryer( fiddle), Nico Rhodes (keys), Fraser Gabbott (harp), Brian McMahon (sax), Kathy McKintyre & Chris Jams (backing vocals), Andrew Claydon (trombone), Steve Knox (guitar), Lewis Mellville (banjo) and Jeff Bird (theremin).
