THE TEAGUE BROTHERS BAND

"It’s the most satisfying feeling to build something you can be proud of," says hard-working

Texas troubadour John Teague, frontman and songwriter of the Teague Brothers Band. "It's that

way with construction, relationships, and songs. I love telling tales about real life and immersing

myself into the characters I write about.”

That spirit of telling tales continues in the Teague Brothers Band’s Full-Length Album "Love and

War", which was released on October 28, 2022. John’s stories and songwriting move to

another level and ferocity. The band, along with Producer Scott Faris of Amusement Park

Studios in Lubbock, TX, bring the listener on a roller coaster of thought and emotion provoking

works. Scott continues his legacy of moody and cinematic productions with this record, just as

he had done for Flatland Cavalry.

"Buckskin Gelding" highlights the high energy showmen of the country rock genre(s) the Teague

Brothers Band have become known for. "This song really exemplifies what we love to do live.",

says John Teague. "I wrote this after a crazy night with my cowboy buddies in Winnie,

TX. They started arm wrestling and throwing out larger and larger bets, which eventually grew

into betting for each other's horses. It was insane to witness!", he continues. John poured the

energy of that night into the lyrics and tempo of the song.

Their album "Love and War" gained national attention upon it's release. Saving Country Music

said this about it in a thorough review, “The stories are real and resonant, the music is

reverberative, and on Love and War, they make a more than compelling case of why

they should be included in national narratives about some of the best country

bands out there”

Teague grew up in a family of ranchers, oil and gas workers, leather workers, and military

veterans. His blue-collar background taught him the value of hard work and the rewards that

come from personal accomplishment. John—who runs a small ranch and construction company

in his hometown of Winnie, TX with his wife—is also an Army veteran, having served a four-year

stint that included a life-changing tour of duty in Iraq.

"One of the things I learned in the military," Teague notes, "is that, when you run up against a

barrier, you don't give up—you find a way to work around it, or through it. That attitude also

applies to songwriting and keeping a band together. Even when everything is telling you to give

up, you find a way. Teague affirms. "It's how I grew up, and I live it every single day whether I

like it or not. To me, being blue collar is about being goal-oriented and doing the work, earning

your stripes.”

Teague, both of whose parents had been musicians with careers in country music, began

writing songs and playing in bands in his early teens, eventually embracing the emotional

directness of country music. He formed the Teague Brothers Band in 2016 with his brother Matt,

who's no longer in the group. The outfit quickly found an audience in its home state, emerging

as part of Texas' "Red Dirt" scene of homegrown singer-songwriters.

The Teague Brothers Band's 2019 debut album Harvest Day earned widespread acclaim from

critics and fans, and the tracks "Coyote" and "Fingers and Thumbs" became surprise regional

hits.

While John's songwriting has earned him a reputation as one of the Lone Star state's most

skilled young artists, the whole Teague Brothers Band has earned the loyalty of fans with their

notoriously high-energy, rock-blended & fiddle-laden live performances.
