The LA based outfit emerged in 2014. They devoted their early years to performance, busking nightly and picking up weekly residencies around the city, being humbly likened to groups like The Band, Grateful Dead and Little Feat. Their improvisation and groove has since taken them across the country several times, establishing them as a premier touring spectacle.

In 2016, The Tens audaciously tracked a live, direct to vinyl record in Nashville’s Welcome to 1979. The process required them to cut each side of the double LP in a single take. The result was an honest, sonic rendering of the young band on a beautiful day in the South.

The group is currently set to release their debut studio record Broken Romantic in April 2022. The album is an emotional trip through the disillusionment of self, dreams and reality. During production, the record caught the ear of Grammy-winning producer J.J. Blair (June Carter and Johnny Cash, Smokey Robinson, The Who) who joined to mix the project. The Tens’ introspective songwriting put through Blair’s aesthetic filter was enriched yet again in the final layer of production, by the mastering skills of Peter Doell (Miles Davis, Celine Dion, The Beach Boys). The band is eager to share the record and can be found performing the songs on the road this Spring.
