Teague Brothers Band

John Teague grew up in a family of farmers, saddle makers, construction workers and veterans. His blue-collar background taught him the value of hard work and the rewards that come from personal accomplishment. John—who runs a working 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. 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. On the Teague Brothers Band's forthcoming new album, American Folk Songs, John's emotionally precise songwriting poignantly explores the trials and triumphs of real life. Such plainspokenly profound originals as "Don't Want to Go Home," "Walk," "Looking Up" and "American Folk Song" exemplify Teague's vivid slice-of-life approach. While John's songwriting has earned him a reputation as one of the Lone Star state's most skilled young artists, the Teague Brothers Band has earned the loyalty of fans with its high-energy live performances. "I love playing music that people can dance to, but we also do some stuff that's less dancy and a little more rock 'n' roll," Teague asserts. "We fit in in dancehalls and in larger concert venues, but we also play in listening-room settings with just me and the fiddle player. At this point, we can fit in anywhere and just kill it." Teague and his bandmates are back on the road and building on their prior successes. "I take a lot of pride in what we're doing," Teague concludes, "and I don't give up easy."
