Album Notes

"You can feel his passion for his songs coming from the stage as Ted puts on a dynamic show. But he doesn't just perform, Ted takes you by the hand as if to say "Let me play this for you."
Ron Ross
The Pulse

Ted delivers that rare combination of craft, content and originality with an earnest and dedicated energy that’s undeniable.--Jon Carroll (Multi-Grammy Winner, Starland Vocal Band, Mary Chapin Carpenter)

By today’s standards, it seems that a singer/songwriter simply needs to know how to tap into their sensitive side. Ted Garber takes that standard and crushes it, bringing back the elements of the craft that have been forgotten . . . storytelling that contains vivid imagery, emotional conveyance, and pure and honest integrity. Garber crafted a near perfect album with American Rail, capturing the soulful essence of each tale he told, and handing it over to the listener like a snapshot from every roadside haunt that he visited. Now, with Live at Strathmore, we get the opportunity to hear a brand new set of songs played by a group of world class musicians and the tales were never more uplifting!  
While the songs are naturally the focal point of this performance, Ted Garber’s easy going and fun natured charisma adds an element of familiarity to the recording. You may have just met him, but you’ll think you’ve known him your entire life. These tracks are an open door to the intricate weave that makes up the tapestry of the man . . . bright and colorful, full of life, rich in humor, and deep with wisdom. If you don’t find yourself laughing, clapping, and cheering along throughout this outstanding set of genre jumping music, then you’re simply dead inside. Live at Strathmore is a slice of true Americana that absolutely can’t be missed!
