We are currently in the studio working on a brand new CD! This CD is a collaboration that includes musicians in Nashville and Massachusetts and a veteran producer of acts including Seals & Crofts. We are very excited to be working with these truly talented musicians and we look forward to the finished product. You have probably noticed that the song currently playing is an instrumental. Actually, this is a sample from the new album that we are working on. If you continue to listen, the next song that plays is what we call a "work tape" version of the same song you are listening to now--complete with vocals. The work tape is the first recording of a song. It is a no frills, live recording, intended to give an artist a chance to hear whether or not the arrangment of the song is working prior to spending money and studio time making an album worthy recording. The instrumental you are listening to now grew out of the "work tape". Vocals, back up vocals and drums will be added soon. I hope you enjoy listening and that you will check back periodically to see how the record is coming along. Enjoy your visit! Ted Painter, 1/25/12
Welcome! My name is Ted Painter and I'm an original country music songwriter. My tunes tend to walk the line between the neo-traditional and contemporary styles--more Hank and less Flatts. I love performing and rarely pass on an opportunity to do so, but my true passion is songwriting. To that end, myself and John Prunier work together to shape and craft songs and when performing, we generally do so as a duo. However, occasionally we will pull some other musicians into the act for a full band sound--depending on the gig. We hope you enjoy listening to the acoustic and band demo's that are available here (there are several in the automatic player que, just keep listening) and I invite you to learn more about the Ted Painter Band on the other pages of this website. Feel free to leave comments, suggestions, or send us an email.
Keepin' it real,
Ted
"This isn’t the teen set’s pop country music. Nope, not by a long shot. The Ted Painter Band is neo-traditional country. Think Willie to Johnny to Alan Jackson ~ songwritin’ outlaws hangin’ out with Brad Paisely and Dierks Bentley." The Pulse Magazine
"Keepin’ It Real, a five-track EP of contemporary country-fried tunes that run the thematic gamut from kids coming of age to contemplating the economy while imbibing bar side...simply put, is just a fun album." Skope Magazine
"[Ridin' High' is] an impressive debut CD that will please fans of country and rockabilly alike. Even those who don’t have a penchant for country music will find themselves singing and toe tapping along to the music – this is almost a guarantee." The Pulse Magazine
