All about the first Road Poets Album
From 90’s rocker to Texas styled singer/songwriter, Teichroeb is back with a 10 song rock album. Pulling the best from his 70’s and 80’s rock influences, Teichroeb blends it with his love of modern Americana music. His first full album recording in 15 years, it’s a knockout punch of catchy riff driven rock. With the assistance of Producer/Recording Engineer Ron Cote(Stevie Ray Vaughn, Blue Oyster Cult, Ramones) Road Poets feels old and new. Teichroeb’s lyrics stand on their own. But, add the flawless production, musical guests, and the well placed musical sprinkles and this borders on crack for your ears. Digging deeper you ask why Road Poets? Teichroeb talk/sings his words like poetry with clever turns of phrase and insight into the human condition. The world reflected locally and globally through his thoughtful eyes. And yes, you can dance to the Road Poets.
