About Me

Come watch my SyncLive.com show at 9:30 PM on 2/27/2008
Watch this show and more at SyncLive.comSo you think country music is not your thing? Think again. The enthusiasm of this edgy, upbeat group is infectious. With influences from Johnny Cash to the Beatles and Alan Jackson to the Stones, the band is able to embrace the roots of country while creating its own progressive, rock-infused country style. Receiving regular central MA airplay and very positive press, Ted Painter is establishing himself as a songwriter to watch. "In my mid thirties" says Ted, "I feel that I can write about life’s ups and downs from a vantage point of often hard won experience. I just try to tell stories that folks can relate to and that’ll move ’em in a positive way.” The members of the South County Band are old friends, with a shared history of recording and live projects. Together Ted and the band are building a bridge between the traditional and contemporary, combining country, rock and roots music.Most recently, they have been playing in and around the Worcester County area and were signed to a one song deal by the "To the Fallen" record label for inclusion on their country music compilation released in December ’07.
