Ted Wulfers is a singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist/producer as well as the lead singer of the Ted Wulfers Band based out of Chicago, IL. As a rootsy rocker, his combination of heartland rock, Stonesy swagger, California cool and Texas twang has earned him the reputation as one of the best Rock/Americana/Alt. Country artists around. His ability as a performer to connect with listeners sets him far apart from many contemporaries.
With 4 CD's to his name, a decade on the road and a million stories to tell, it's no wonder that this former philosophy major has shared the stage, the bill, the studio and company of Cracker, Hayes Carll, The Doobie Brothers, Keith Urban, Shooter Jennings, Ted Russell Kamp, Lowen & Navarro, Lucinda Williams, Randy Rogers, Jim Lauderdale, Ray Wylie Hubbard, The Wallflowers, The Ditty Bops, Shurman, Stonehoney, The Radiators, Chicago, Freddy Jones Band, Miranda Lambert, Camper Van Beethoven, John Corbett, Hamell on Trial, The Samples, Elmore James Jr., Darryl Worley, The Sin City All Stars,
Gaucho Gil, Chico Banks, L.P., The Disco Biscuits and Superdrag.
Ted Wulfers is giving the world a gift of rock 'n roll this year with his newest release What Would Santa Do? What Would Santa Do? is NOT your typical boring holiday CD chalk full of boring old holiday standards. Instead, Wulfers has filled this package full of fun, joyous and super catchy original songs such as "Xmas In A Bar," "What Would Santa Do?" "The Hanukkah Blues," "Mistletoes," "Ukulele Xmas" and more. With killer guitar playing and musicianship to boot, this CD is destined to be a classic. If you're looking for THE holiday CD to add to your collection, What Would Santa Do? has everything you're looking for.
In 2008, Wulfers had two singles from his acoustic themed double CD, Drivin' Barefoot top the radio charts at 1 and 4. Ted is also the Chicago musician who sang "Go Cubs Go" at a performance at Miller Park in Milwaukee and wound up losing a gig for it. The whirlwind publicity that followed thrust him into the center of an international baseball media blitz that included coverage by CNN, CNN Europe, ESPN The Magazine, The Chicago Tribune, The LA Times, The NY Times and hundreds of radio/tv/media outlets as well as several radio and television appearances just as the Chicago Cubs entered their 2008 playoff run.
2009 has been a busy year in the studio for Wulfers where he is recording his next CD. Special guests on the recordings include world famous artists and musicians such as Kenny Aronoff (John Mellencamp/John Fogerty), Doug Pettibone (Lucinda Williams/Ray Lamontagne/Mark Knopfler), Rami Jaffee (The Wallflowers/Foo Fighters), Gary Morse (Brooks & Dunn/Dierks Bentley), Dave Raven (Mike Ness/Mojo Monkeys/Keith Richards), Chris Lawrence (Mike Ness/Dave Alvin), Taras Prodaniuk (Lucinda Williams/Dwight Yoakam/Richard Thompson), Ted Russell Kamp (Shooter Jennings), Carl Byron (Anne McCue/Michelle Shocked/Warren Zevon), Mike Frantantuno (Black Eyed Peas/Gossip Girl) ,Aaron Weistrop, Stonehoney, Claire Holley, Diana Rein and more...

I’ve been a music journalist for more than 10 years. Over the years, many artists and managers have asked me what the best way to break into the European music market is.
Here are some things you can do:
Publish artist press releases, news, and tour dates to the CountryHome Forum on MySpace, http://groups.myspace.com/CountryHomeMagazine , CountryHome Forum is part of CountryHome, http://www.CountryHome.de , Germany's Premier Country Music Online Magazine. Everything you publish to the CountryHome Forum will be published in my weekly Newsletter which has over 80,000 readers.
Send me CDs and DVDs for review and set up an artist interview with me. All reviews and interviews will be submitted to the magazines I'm writing for. More information for which magazines I'm writing can be found at http://www.MySpace.com/ChristianLamitschka
Upload artist videos to http://www.MyVideo.de and http://www.ClipFish.de . Both websites are like http://www.YouTube.com and uploading videos is free. The websites are completely in German. If you don’t speak German and need assistance, I will help you open an account and upload a video for 25 Euro. Each additional video upload for the same artist name and at the same video website is 10 Euro.
If you have more questions about the European music market or about any of the information I send to you today, please contact me at Ch.Lamitschka@t-online.de too.
