Multi-genre instumentalist Roger Netherton is currently in the mixing process for his debut album with plans for it to be out sometime in August of 2018. So, be on the look out for that. However, his friend Teddy Breihan (piano) wil be in town releasing his CD "Misty"on Friday, March 30th from 8:00 pm to 10:00 pm at Stone Spiral Coffee. Then again on Saturday, March 31st Teddy and Roger will both be at The Focal Point. This concert goes from 8:00 pm to 11:00 pm. Visit HERE for the event details on Facebook for that one.
Teddy Breihan was born and raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and has been playing piano since a young age. He's performed with a number of musical acts around his hometown area as well as in St. Louis. He has been building a repertoire of evocative themes inspired by places and personalities, ranging in mood from energetic to contemplative.
Teddy Breihan (piano) and Roger Netherton (violin) met in Japan while studying abroad, and immediately a musical spark grew between them. Shortly after, the duo met up in St. Louis, and that spark took on the form of an album, consisting mostly of original compositions Teddy has developed over the course of his life.
The songs are short and the instrumentation is simple. Teddy emphasizes the two basic elements of composition: melody and harmony.
Allow Teddy to take you through a playful journey strung together by theme songs of places he's been, things he's done, and people he's met. Misty is an honest and open album, not looking to make any grand statement or blow anyone's minds - just two good friends telling short stories with their instruments.
The CD version comes in a jewel case and has 8 bonus tracks. Two of those bonus tracks are "8-bit" video game remixes by my Teddy's friend willfox125:

Teddy Breihan's debut CD titled "Misty" is an album with he and Roger in a piano-violin duo, and features almost completely Teddy's own original compositions.
Roger Netherton taught himself to play the fiddle at the age of 11. Now, ten years later, he is known for his powerful style and prize-winning perforances at mational, regional and local competitions. Traditional old-time music remains one of his central interests, even as he has branched out to such styles as gypsy jazz, swing and blues. He plays regularly at dances, shows and festivals within and beyond his home of St. Louis.
Roger is in the production phase of his new music featuring an impressive list of musicians that he has met and performed with over some time. Visit him online below and continue on to learn more on this artist and Teddy Briehan.
