"I
just moved to Nanaimo, BC. My life has taken me down some difficult roads. My mother
died in my arms at sixteen as I tried to save her. I lost interest in school
and went hitch hiking. I grew up traveling and moving and I can't shake it. I'm
not young. I'm not old. My half life has me carrying a wealth of experiences
that have taught and defined me.
I've got a great new album called "Lost Horizon"
that I spent the last year recording with Scott Merritt in Guelph, Ontario.
Scott chose 12 songs from twenty I brought in. They tell my story. Then, now
and where I'm going. He said they leave you interested and wanting more. A
northerner removing layers of clothing after a long walk in the snow.
I'm a husband and father, I've been a penniless wanderer,
and I've worked in factories trying to be a straight jobber but always writing
and singing my songs. I'm troubled at the injustice this world deals out to so
many. To listen to my albums or see me live is to join me and share."

Dave has performed with Gurf Morlix, Guy Clark, Stephen
Fearing, Katherine Wheatley, Terry Tuffs, Luther Wright and Greg Quill and a
host of others at festivals, performing arts centres and honeky-tonks. In
Texas he shared the stage with legends Billy Joe Shaver, Johnny Bush and Kent
Finlay. Dave performed weekly in Guelph (2004-2007) at his popular Thursday
Night Sessions with many of Canada's great songwriters. In Texas,
Teichroeb played weekly around the Austin area (2001-2004), notably at the
infamous Cheatham Street Warehouse at his popular Friday Happy Hour where he
quickly gained a following for his Canadian influenced song writing. Dave
and his music have been heard at festivals, on network TV, nationally on CBC
radio, college radio, and various compilations. His lyrics have been quoted in
the Journal of Texas Music History. Dave is a solid solo performer who has been
described as making a room feel like Canada. An understated story teller, he
delights in combining personal experience with personal opinion.
In summer 2007, Teichroeb relocated to the solitude of
Canada's west coast in Nanaimo, BC. Away from the distracting hustle of
Southern Ontario he is going full on with his song writing and performing
career and hosts a weekly radio show on CHLY called Road Poets. Dave
Teichroeb's (pronounced Tike- robe) story begins back in 1991 when as an
aspiring song writer and performer he teamed up with musician-songwriter Lewis
Melville and formed the critically acclaimed Canadian indie label DROG. Wanting
to give more time to his own music, but locked into the cycle of promoting the
label and it's artists, he eventually left the label in 2001 to pursue his own
music full time.
Past reviews:
Greg Quill of the Toronto Star "Canadian Whiskey bears
all the earmarks of his best work as a songwriter." And about his
sophomore CD Yesterday Motel he says "an independent masterpiece!"
Dave Teichroeb's first solo recording, dog tales, is
considered by Bill Stunt (CBC) and Richard Flohil (The Record), to be one of
the best Canadian releases of 1999.
Teichroeb's professional musical career started in 1987 in
Guelph, Ontario where he formed award winning blues-rockers Dizzy Maroon and
later modern rock band Dissemblers in 1991 who toured Germany twice and
performed weekly along the 401 corridor of Ontario.
