FUNK FOLK FISSION WITH A RADIOACTIVE SOUL:
He's a hot-licked, rock/jazz/blues riffing guitar hero. He's a Summa Cum Laude academic (Tulane University), with a literary sensibility that will engage your love of lyrics. He's a wistful, heavy-hearted singer-songwriter. He's a good-timing big man with a billion dollar smile. He's a captivating soloist one night and a commanding front-man the next.
Ted Garber is all these things and more. Whether standing before two people or 20,000, Ted Garber conjures an amazing audience experience, regardless of age, venue or cosmic challenges. His new CD, "American Rail", is the amalgamation of his roots music tastes, talent for band building (The Working Class Heroes) and the maturation of a high-energy literary work in progress.
Ted Garber himself is a working class hero, logging over ten years of shows in every type of venue imaginable - colleges, concert halls, festivals, clubs and bars. Ask Ted about his musical influences and you won’t get a long list of names or albums. Places, experiences, and real people are what stick to his creative bones, and he has plenty of material to draw from: A shimmering highway to Key West, a dingy and dangerous shantytown motel room in Tanzania, a rainy day jam session in a nameless café at a beachside Brazilian village, a single-mom waiting tables at Denny’s, or the smiling shoe-shining oracle on a New Orleans street corner. Ted's walking, hitching, gigging, chicken-and-goat-bus-cultural-immersion treks have taken him to over 30 countries on four continents and counting.

On his newest album, "American Rail," Garber uses his distinct bluesy vocals, howling harmonica riffs, and potent guitar chops to weave stories about the indomitable human spirit and the connection all people share. He sings of hope, faith, accountability, responsibility and personal growth. Ted's talent is endorsed by appearances from some of the Mid-Atlantic's top artists, including Mary Ann Redmond, Mike Clem (Eddie From Ohio), Chris Watling (Last Train Home, The Grandsons), Brian Simms (Junkyard Saints) and producer Marco Delmar. From electrifying, pulsating rock n' roll, to lush, cinematic ballads, to New Orleans street funk, to Latin-jazz, to blues, to alt-country to alternative punk, "American Rail" has something for everyone.
Bottom line: Ted Garber is a true, iron-grit showman. He confidently owns the stage and the audience. He is clearly a young man who honed his skills as a first-class entertainer while simultaneously maturing into a first-class songwriter. With the release of his new album, "American Rail" and shows nationwide, Garber is destined to dazzle audiences near and far.
