In his own words "My favourite boxer has always been Joe Frazier. Muhammed Ali was an iconoclast, transcended his sport, and seemed unbeatable at times. Joe Frazier couldn't see out of one eye, was unable to straighten his left arm all the way, and became the heavyweight champion of the world. He also broke Ali's jaw."

​

Ted is a critically acclaimed, multi-award nominated singer/songwriter originally from Newfoundland, but currently calls Dartmouth, Nova Scotia home. ​He has spent much of his life being a traveler, a wanderer, and a seeker, including time in England, Sweden, New York City, Chicago, and a long list of other stops along way in various parts of Canada and the United States. Songwriting has been one of the only constants in his life, a life that has been shaped by the many people, places, and more than occasionally odd things he has encountered along the way.

 

With influences like Muddy Waters, Townes Van Zandt, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, and The Band, and with powerful, poignant, pretty and sometimes politically driven lyrics Ted has created a unique musical style, a mix of folk ballads, folk rock, rock and roll, blues and country. His live shows range from topical social commentary, to fun and humorously ridiculous tales, to the poetry of love, loss, loneliness, and longing.

When not working as a singer/songwriter, he enjoys spending time with his family, fishing with his son, swimming in the ocean, practicing yoga, playing soccer and working in his garden.

 

In 2012 he was nominated for two Music PEI awards for the album 61 Dorchester, Male Solo Recording of the Year and Roots Contemporary Recording of the Year and in 2010 as a member of Slung for the album Superfecta, for Bluegrass/Country Recording of the Year.
