As John Fahey writes of American folk music: "Shakedowns, false hearts, the triumph of mechanization, cockeyed worlds, prostitution, TB, death, hunger, orphans, widows, tribulation, storm, fears, doom of millions, depression, fucked up highways, strangers, inflation, poverty, phony preachers, storms of life, failure, persecution, battle, old and feeble, murder, wrong-headed love..."

Theodore is a four piece band from St. Louis, Missouri. We have been playing music together since September 2006. We have driven around the United States and played music together. We have self-released two full length records, "Songs for the Weary" and "Defeated, Tennessee". "Defeated, Tennessee", our most recent record, is based upon some letters and family debris we found in an abandoned house in Tennessee. We are working on a new full length record. We will be touring a good piece this summer. Thank you kindly for your time and interest. We'll see you soon
