DESCRIPTION:
Ted Leo pulls out of the campfire and into the flat (with a bit of help from director Jason Farrell and set designer Tamarra Younis) for a performance of his new song "The Little Smug Supper Club."

Through a unique synthesis of punk and folk, soul and hardcore, traditional Irish music and off-the-cuff improvisation, Ted Leo writes seamless pop songs that are pleasing to the sugar-craving ear and the intellectually curious mind. Ted recently visited Room 205 to perform inside of an ever-evolving set conceived by director Jason Farrell and set designer Tamarra Younis.

BIO
Ted Leo has carved a legacy for himself that is both heady in its political sensibility and advanced in its musicality. Both as a solo artist and with his backing band The Pharmacists, Leo's influences come from the mod revivalism of the Jam, the dubby rhythms of the Clash and the soulful meditations of Curtis Mayfield. By consistently combining his love for 60s pop and soul with an abiding mastery of 70s punk rock, Ted Leo has laid the foundation for punk and hardcore bands of the future.
