WHILE I DO PLAY WITH A HANDFUL OF GROUPS, I MOSTLY SPEND MY TIME PLAYING WITH THREE GREAT BANDS: THE BROTHERS LAZAROFF, ROLY POLY DUB BAND, AND MY OWN GROUP: TEDDY PRESBERG & THE RED NOTE REVIVALISTS! YOU CAN LEARN MORE ABOUT THESE GROUPS AT: WWW.OUTRIGHTMUSIC.COM
FOR MY MUSIC:
Blueprint of Soul album features: Teddy Presberg (guitars, bass, drums, keys, harmonica) with Jon Sappington (rhodes and organ); Will Amend (upright bass); Arcellus Sykes (electric bass); Eben Dickinson (drums); Paul Hunter (drums); and Garett Brennan on acoustic guitar and vocals.

Influences
Luther Russell, Zignago, Miles Davis, Medeski Martin and Wood, Neil Young's On The Beach record, Aretha Franklin, Dinah Washington, Bob Dylan, A Tribe Called Quest, The Meters, White Stripes, Nick Drake, Lu Belle, and fresh Oregon air.
TTeddy roots his music in improvisation, inspired by the moment and the audience. Often compared to the funky, soulful jazz musicians such as Grant Green and Eddie Harris, you also hear artists such as The White Stripes and Beck influence his sound. His music is fresh, ever evolving, and lays out his immediate and unfiltered response to our society and times.
He's not flashy with in-your-face chops. He can own one note, and with that note, you know exactly what he means. Teddy plays for the moment, never repeating himself – risking the falls to reach the musical highs.
Late 2007 welcomed the release of Teddy’s debut solo recordings: “Blueprint of Soul.” The album consists of songs written in a stream of consciousness, tracks done in one take, and unforgettable improvisational grooves. The result is a funky Friday-night record that you'll put .., during, and after the party.
"You can't go wrong with this recording and will want to listen, learn and love it many times over," says legendary Ropeadope Records founder, Andy Blackman Hurwitz.
Teddy Presberg is currently touring with his his new band: The Red Note Revivalists. Visit the gigs page to find out when this music is coming to a venue near you!
