Ted is a singer, songwriter and a tribute artist. He was born in Seattle and raised in the Olympia area. He has been performing from the age of ten throughout school in concert, symphonic and jazz bands developing his talents as a drummer and singer.
In 2006 he went on to Laughlin, NV to compete in the Talent Quest 2006 involving 28 states, New Zealand, Australia and Canada taking first place. Ted now performs nationwide for all kinds of venues and events. He’s played twice now for John Denver’s own “Windstar Foundation” in Aspen, CO. Ted was awarded the Rising Legend Award by the National Traditional Country Music Association. Ted also performs with Steve Wiesberg, John Denver’s lead guitar player from the 70’s who is quoted as saying “Apparently the audience thinks they all look and sound like John. I don’t see it. I see it with Ted. A very strong physical resemblance… Uncanny!” The most heard comments after a show are “I can’t believe how much he looks and sounds like John Denver!
From the 1st song until the end of his 90 minute show, the audience is clapping and singing along all night. Ted has that same earthy, crunchy granola, “environmentalist” spirit that John had. That’s why John Denver’s personal charity the “Windstar Foundation” hires Ted for their fund raisers.
“Watching Ted perform, you might be convinced that John Denver never died! His look and sound are scary!”-Philadelphia Inquirer
“It was like working with John again. I’ve worked with every John Denver tribute and “none” of them have the look and the voice Ted has. He’s uncanny!”- Steve Weisberg, John Denver’s guitar player.
