About Me

Chicago native and self-confessed road-dog Ted Wulfers is a quadruple threat with phenomenal guitar/piano playing, an engaging and versatile singing voice, amazing stage shows and some of the best original Americana/Rock 'n Roll music you'll hear.Toward that end, his latest CD "Cheap Liquor" (Patchdog) is a loud, riff-happy, unabashed mash note to Tom Petty, The Rolling Stones and all the other whiskey-swigging influences who inspired him to pick up a guitar and start writing songs.Like his musical heroes, he nurtures a restless curiosity about human experience and is committed to original voices in the lyrics of his 500 plus songs.Wanna know more?

The women I've fallen in love and out of love with, the musicians I've made music with and the characters I meet along the road all inspire stories that last a lifetime. My lyrics are journals and glimpses allowing you to be there and go there with me through song while my guitar, bass or piano brings us together. I write from my heart, my experience and the bottom of the bottle and I put a good beat in there for you tap your toes and shake your ass to. I'm glad you enjoy it so far...there's lots more to come!" - T.W.
Sounds Like: Real, Honest, Americana Rock 'n Roll. Ted Wulfers is a true original but has been compared to legends such as Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Bruce Springsteen, AC/DC, Warren Zevon, Guns & Roses, The Rolling Stones, Gram Parsons, Dwight Yoakam, Steve Earle, Big & Rich, Mark Knopfler, U2, Pink Floyd, The Grateful Dead, Frank Sinatra, Allman Brothers, Phish, Wilco, Cracker, Lucinda Williams, Willie Nelson, Pat Green, Lyle Lovett, Toby Keith, Kid Rock, Bob Dylan, Neil Young and more. Ted gladly tips his hat and glass toward his roots and influences.From Roots Music Report: "The other part of the magic comes from Wulfers, himself as he is a gifted and clever songwriter. The songs convey inspired stories that practically fill the emotional continuum. Add to that his strong rich vocals and you have got a 1st class, 1st-rate artist."
