Fresh and powerful
author: Riku Metelinen/ Blues News -magazine
The Teague Stefan Band's new cd “Game Of Life” is straight bluesrock with a bit funky sonuds. Together the trio creates fresh nad powerful sounds with the same attitude like Cream did some decades ago. They don't try to live yesterday again and play those old blues tunes again. They have written great tunes and my favorites are 4,10 and 11. I might have said this before, but The Teague Stefan Band doesn't leave you cold. They probably give you cold sweat, but that's what you expected didn't yoy? Everyone who like Clapton, should check out Teague Stefan, maybe a new king has been born.

Congratulations on GrIndie Award
author: RadioIndy.com
The sophomore effort from Central Florida’s power trio “The Teague Stefan Band” entitled “Game Of Life” combines elements of blues, rock, and funk to create a highly original, fresh sound. The album is a collection of aggressive, pounding tracks full of intoxicating heart and soul. Teague Stefan, the gifted songwriter, vocalist and guitarist for this trio, employs his talents in both musicianship and composition. The songs are well-written and performed with an enthusiasm and spirit that shines through on each track. “The Leavin’ Blues” is a blistering opener, with a strong groove and blazing guitar work. The production is raw and natural, with no post-production trickery. Stefan’s dominating guitar is accompanied by drums that are upfront in the mix, providing a powerful, hammering sound. “Tell You Truthful” is a driving shuffle tune with an expressive strut and swagger. “Power Of A Woman” is a soulful blues tune, showcasing Stefan’s vocal range as well as his mastery of the guitar. Another highlight is “High Maintenance Woman,” which features a passionate performance of emotional vocals and energetic acoustic guitar. “Dues” is a great closer, a straight-ahead rocker that is radio-ready. This is a polished group of songs that will be enjoyed by any fan of rock and blues in the vein of Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, or Buddy Guy.

No Sophomore Jinx for TSB!
author: Brian "caTFishBlueS"
Teague can play rock and blues equally well. This is the 2nd opus from the central Florida power rockin' trio and it does not disappoint in the least. Teague has a monster tone and the rhythm section lays down a funkygrOOve to support the vocal stylings of Mr. Stefan. This should be a band on the rise with the high quality musicianship, original material and white hot leads!!! Now....how about a DVD so we can see the music in action! rOcKoN....caTFishBlueS
