Dave Teichroeb listens to anyone who writes, sings or performs with honesty. Like that kid on the corner with the banjo and flowers in his cowboy boots.

I've been told I sound like me. Is the player not working?
Ok, I think I sound like Townes Van Zant when he visited Canada and secretly hung with Neil Young in Winnipeg. Or maybe a really lonely Gordon Lightfoot who listened to too much Who and Genesis as a kid, but wished he was a member of Skynyrd. Actually I'm thinking now that I do sound like me.

CD Baby to Lost http://cdbaby.com/cd/daveteichroeb
"I live on Gabriola Island on Canada's west coast. My life has taken me down some difficult roads. My mother died in my arms at sixteen as I tried to save her. I lost interest in school and went hitch hiking. I grew up traveling and moving and I can't shake it. I'm not young. I'm not old. My half life has me carrying a wealth of experiences that have taught and defined me.
I've got a great new album called "Lost Horizon" that I recorded with Scott Merritt in Guelph, Ontario. Scott chose 12 songs from twenty I brought in. They tell my story. Then, now and where I'm going. He said they leave you interested and wanting more. A northerner removing layers of clothing after a long walk in the snow.
I'm a husband and father, I've been a penniless wanderer, and I've worked in factories trying to be a straight jobber but always writing and singing my songs. I'm troubled at the injustice this world deals out to so many. To listen to my albums or see me live is to join me and share."
In summer 2007, Teichroeb relocated to the solitude of Canada's west coast. First to Nanaimo on Vancouver Island and then to Gabriola Island in the Georgia Strait. Teichroeb hosts a weekly radio show on CHLY 101.7 FM called Road Poets. Dave Teichroeb's (pronounced Tike- robe) story begins back in 1991 when as an aspiring song writer and performer he teamed up with musician-songwriter Lewis Melville and formed the critically acclaimed Canadian indie label DROG. Wanting to give more time to his own music, but locked into the cycle of promoting the label and it's artists, he eventually left the label in 2001 to pursue his own music full time.
Past reviews:
Greg Quill of the Toronto Star "Canadian Whiskey bears all the earmarks of his best work as a songwriter." And about his sophomore CD Yesterday Motel he says "an independent masterpiece!"
Dave Teichroeb's first solo recording, dog tales, is considered by Bill Stunt (CBC) and Richard Flohil (The Record), to be one of the best Canadian releases of 1999.
Teichroeb's professional musical career started in 1987 in Guelph, Ontario where he formed award winning blues-rockers Dizzy Maroon and later modern rock band Dissemblers in 1991 who toured Germany twice and performed weekly along the 401 corridor of Ontario.
Hi Dave, I would have likely gone to your show at the Red Martini Lounge as I was out on my motorcycle that night, except I didn't figure out you were there until today. Too late. Next time include me in your invites please.
You sure rocked the house last week at fabled Cheatham Street Warehouse in San Marcos Texas! I was thrilled to hear your excellent new tunes, as well as some of the songs I remember from when you used to live here. And your lead playing with the Mudcats was something to hear. The CD is first-class, congrats!
hiya Dave, thanks for the request! wow man, I'm digging everything about what you're doing...from the music right down to your bio and personal words. so honest and human. I'm really feeling "higher place"...a beautiful track. keep it all up, and please drop and by and say hello sometime.
Hey, Dave--welcome to the world of MySpace. Can't wait for our gigs at Cheatham Street next week. Might have to add, "When the Maple Leaf Turns Brown," to the set list. The Mudcats are pumped!
