Dave Teichroeb (pronounced tike-robe), descended from Guelph, Ontario on September 1, 2001 into the deep south of America landing in San Marcos, Texas at ground zero of the Texas singer-songwriter scene. Matured by his first hand witnessing of a country at war he emerges three years later with his new album Canadian Whiskey - thirteen Teichroeb originals inspired as much by not being in Canada as living in Texas. Teichroeb performs weekly in San Marcos, Texas at the infamous Cheatham Street Warehouse for his popular Tex-Ontario Happy Hour and Wednesdays at the song circle where he has quickly gained a following for his Canadian influenced songwriting. Teichroeb performs bi-monthly at Café on the Square in San Marcos and the syndicated Humbletime radio show in New Braunfels, has showcased at the Kerrville South West Regional Folk Alliance and at Austin’s Waterloo Ice House. In Canada, Dave and his music can be heard at festivals, on network TV, nationally on CBC radio, college radio, and various compilations. Dave is a solid performer who has been described as making a room feel like Canada. His songs tell stories and expose the rawness of human emotion sometimes with a wink and a grin.
His songs have been covered by Canadian rockers the Kramdens, up and coming country star Christine Saunders and used in commercials and movies. As a reaction to the stupidity of the Bush administration he has just recorded and made available a new "Peace Song" called No More War. He has also recorded and finished a compilation of songs by regular attendees to the Kent Finlay Wednesday Song Circle at Cheatham Street Warehouse. The songs are mostly about the famous honkey tonk and it's owner Kent Finlay who has done allot for song writers and is fighting bone cancer these days.
His 2nd full-length album called Yesterday Motel received rave reviews. The Toronto Star's roots reviewer, Greg Quill, Call Yesterday Motel an independent masterpiece. You can listen to a musical review that CBC did for Yesterday Motel. It is a real audio file found at the Bandwidth Disc of the Week site and features many of the songs.
Dave Teichroeb’s first solo recording, dog tales is considered by Bill Stunt (CBC –Bandwidth/Global Village) and Richard Flohil (The Record), to be one of the best Canadian releases of 1999. His songs have received rave four star reviews across the country, been featured on CBC TV and Radio, and charted in the top 10 at college stations. Now affiliated Echo Magazine calls him a “solid songwriter and gifted guitar player with a comfortable drawl not unlike Stan Ridgeway”. Chart Magazine and The Record compare his writing and singing to fellow Canuck, Ron Sexsmith. Mike Beggs of Toronto's Eye Weekly says, “ Austin in the Springtime is the best ballad never to come out of Texas and his million dollar arrangements are just as good – he gets stoned and savvy on the road before coming home to tell us, The Truth Doesn't Matter Anymore.”
You may also know Dave Teichroeb as the D in DROG, an independent label he co-founded with Lewis Melville in 1993 which has released over 70 recordings by Ontario musicians. Artists in the DROG catalog include Rheostatics, Skydiggers and Chris Brown and Kate Fenner.
