Drawing from the organic soul of the singer-songwriter, unapologetic funk rock, and the indulgent joy of the jam, TELFER is united by one love - good music. The sound is vibrant then aggressive, pensive then colourful, heavy and then free. Their debut LP, BORN THIS MORNING, invites the listener through the dance, through the crowd, and into the hearts of 4 guys who love to play music.
Order "Born This Morning" from our website at www.telfermusic.com
"On one hand, Telfer is a wicked live jam band, on the other hand, a band that soars with beautiful melodies and cinematic-type songs. It adds up to two ears full of goodness. The song "My World" could and should be a monster hit." - Sean Crawford (Afternoon Drive, C103, Moncton, NB)
"I'm down with this funky sound ... The debut album's highlight is anthem "Claws in Deep," an intense and sexy song as rich in heavy chords as in raunchy lyrics: 'Dig your claws in deep and I'll put up a fight, keep you up all night.'" - Hilary Beaumont (The Coast, Halifax, NS)
" This band can get down and dirty and jam on some great blues and funk, and then turn around and melt your heart with some tenderness. They’re one of the reasons to be proud of East Coast talent and I have to say, I’m a fan." - Ryan "Crash" Barton (Mid Day Host, 105.3FM The Fox, Fredericton, NB)
"...one of the most exciting and entertaining live groups to come out of the Maritimes in years." - Bob Mersereau (CBC TV, Fredericton, NB)
"Telfer's debut is a solid effort from a band that can write and rock and - like the bands that have influenced them - their work ethic is nice to see in this age of instant everything." - Mike Campbell (Owner, The Carleton, Halifax, NS)
“This is a solid album from a group of guys that have ears beyond their years. It captures the energy of what they do live, while still serving the songs, and sounds really fat. May Jimmy not quit, Jody not get married, and the van not break down. I want to hear more records from this band.” – John Parker (General Manager, Long & McQuade, Halifax, NS)
Sick show with you guys tonight! A real pleasure to have met you all. Your music is something special, and it blew my mind! Let us hook up and play some more shows together some time in the future!
Cheers, and best of luck on the rest of your tour! :)
Hi Tommy, Thanks for your message :) make sure that you visit us when you are over here so that we can definatley come and see you as we LOVE your cd. All your tracks are on every ipod in our household. Nice to hear from you. Alison x
See you in September, @ The 2009 Harvest Jazz, & Blues Festival! I remember, when you won the C. B. C. Galaxie Rising Star Award, a couple of years ago! I was a volunteer, & will be again this year, as well! Didn't you used to be based in , & live in Saint John, NB!? Take care!
I am now the proud owner of the new Telfer album, it came all the way from Toronto and I would be lying if I said it didn't fill me with smiles. There are no actual words to describe how good this music is. So so solid. Bobby rips on guitar, Piper and Jon are the Gods of thunder and Tommy...damn. Stay funky and keep kickin out the good stuff.
Thanks again for sharing the bill with us last night, lads. Incredible musicanship, cool tunes and just an infectious energy on stage. You are true gentlemen of the music biz (and there aren't many). Hopefully we'll see you in the fall! Take care.
We're looking forward to meeting up with you as well and laying it down in Kingston. Hope Ontario's being good to you since the east coast has been so kind to us. It's the least one province can do for another! See you in a few days! Stay cool.
Yeah, I did graduate with Ben! I was at the very end of the list, haha. I doubt I'll be going to his party though, I'm getting my wisdom teeth out that week, so I don't think I'll be in too much of a partying mood. Thanks so much for the offer though, it means a lot. I've been writing many songs myself, and my friend and I are hoping to play a few gigs around Fredericton this summer. Any advice for some new artists?
