Thinner Teed is a group that is formed of five friends from high school, that got together to play the best music that they could. At the time they didn’t know exactly what that meant, but over the years developed a sound that they can call their own. They have been playing together for over six years now, and are steadily finding their way along the map of rock & roll.
Thinner Teed has been playing shows in the Chicago area and Midwest for the past three years entertaining crowds with its eclectic music style. They have been on the road across the Midwest including Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, all kinds of shows. The band has an powerful energy with it everywhere it goes, from the smallest dive to the festival stage, these guys know how to bring it.
They play an eclectic Jam style that is a collage of many musical genres. They find influence from jam, rock, reggae, funk, world, trance, country, jazz, blues, and classical music to create genre bending original music. Thinner Teed plays music that will take care of your musical addiction. Check out www.thinnerteed.com for more music.
