Bio

 

 

Ted Stevens has been been driving around America as a frontman, sideman, and guitar playing chameleon for over 20 years. He's got a rootsy sound that carves down a dark highway twisting and turning with sounds of rock and roll, alt-country, blues, surf, soul and rockabilly.  It's all in there with a twangy vocal line , untreated sideburns, cool shoes ...........

And a whammy wearing guitar................................

 

Sideman duties include playing guitar and singing for some iconic names....One week might be with 80's pop-queen Tiffany,  another might be dialing in classic rock tones for Terry Sylvester of The Hollies.  Then off to play a polished shoe shined set with legendary names like The Temptations, Percy Sledge, The Drifters, and LOTS of other 50's and 60's artists. 

A laundry list of shows and people played with in just a year...."FAME" The Musical (A.C.), The Platters, Coasters, Marvelettes (SAHARA Vegas for 7 years running), Motown Solid Gold,  Ron Dante (The Voice of THE ARCHIES ), Danny and the Juniors, The Toys, The Cookies, The Reminiscents, Percy Sledge, Bobby "Tossin and Turnin" Lewis, Legendary lead singers of THE TEMPTATIONS, G.C. Cameron of THE SPINNERS, The Tokens, The Chiffons....not enough space on this site to list em all!

Then the charts and music stand go in the closet and its off to play a gin-mill grinding out roots rock on shitty stages with girls rocking out on uneven dance floors that have more waves in them than a good day at Narragansett Beach.
