My New Photo Tumblr!

I am not much of an early adopter when it come to newer interfaces online, so I couldn't help but chuckle this week when I finally made a Tumblr.  I think some of you might enjoy it.  It's a fairly narrow hint at my outlook on the world.  Enjoy!

Weekend Wrap-Up, See you at the Fringe!

What a week, shows at The Emmet Ray, Gate 403, The Cameron House and The Rex Hotel complete. Some of our best nights ever, with a few particular highlights:

-Emmet Ray has awesome food and a great vibe.  Monday nights provide a true musicians' venue

-The Gate gig was blast with Ken McDonald and friends, we came up with a system of googling lyrics to instrumental tunes half-way through, and I'd have to sing them on the head out -- Song for my Father has the worst lyrics ever.

-The Cameron was maybe our best show in a year; capacity crowd, hanging on to every word.  Can't wait to return in July!

-The Rex, The Rex, The Rex, always a pleasure.

We're taking a bit of a hiatus to pursure our varied interests and enjoy the weather in June.  Some upcoming things to look out for:

THE BROTHERS at The Cameron House, June 28th

  Joe and Alex Ernewein, bass and keyboards from the Nick Teehan band, are subbing in for the band's last friday residency on June 28th at 10pm.  Don't miss it, they've got a record coming out, and are some of the most brilliant and talented writers and performers.  Proud to call them my peers.

NICK TEEHAN   at The Fringe Festival, July 6th

    We'll be performing at the Fringe Festival, outdoors, behind Honest Ed's at 7pm, on July 6th.  There's beer there and it's outside. What more could you want?

BARBARELLA Returns! A Night of Music with Nick Teehan

This Friday marks the return-debut of once-defunct, intergalactic psychadelic party band, BARBARELLA, lead by the effusive and mysterious Aurora Cowie.  I have the priviledge of playing baritone sax in this 8-piece group, featuring members from Trent Severn, The Happiness Project, Triple Gangers, Slapback, Blackie Jackett Jr. and other fine projects.

BARBARELLA will be playing a late night set after a full evening of music by Nick Teehan and band.

See the whole gang at The Cameron House, 10:30pm, May 31st

Check out BARBARELLA slow jam, CRASH GIRLS from 2010

Nick Teehan Jazz Trio

Nick Teehan Jazz Trio featuring Joe Ernewein on bass and Alex Ernewein on piano will be performing at The Emmet Ray at 924 College st., tonight, Monday, May 27th from 7
-9pm.  The Emmet Ray features live jazz on mondays, and it's a hoot of a whiskey bar, with bizarrely addictive potatoe wedges.

I'm very excited to debut my first gig leading a "jazz trio" as a singer.  Over the years I have done plenty of performing as a saxophonist and singer in the jazz idiom, and I hold it near and dear to my heart. I have not, however, framed an entire evening of entertainment to this style for probably 5-6 years. Enjoy, see you tonight!

Nick Teehan at the Rivoli November 11th 2012 w/ Anna Atkinson

I'm opening for a wonderful musical friend and colleague this Sunday, Nov. 11 at the Rivoli; Anna Atkinson is re-releasing her 2011 CD, Mooniture on Aporia Records. Over a cup of tea a few weeks ago some of my bandmates and I agreed she sounds like Julie Andrews, but while playing banjo, viola, accordian, and guitar. A truly charming and ellusive talent. We'll be performing in a more stripped down, acoustic style to accomidate Anna's show. There will be much smiling, giggling and joy.

Doors at 8, we're on at 8:30, cover is $7, or $20 with a CD. For more details check out the Mooniture Re-Release Event Page
