About Ten Foot Tall

Tim Louie from The Aquarian writes this:
I was recently contacted about an amazing blues rock band out of Hopewell, NJ, called Ten Foot Tall. They have a sound that is comparable to The Allman Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd and even the Grateful Dead. I guess that’s more of a country rock sound. Either way, I really enjoyed it! Songs like “Get Back On The Highway,” “Sleepin’ In The Devil’s Arms,” and “Feelin’ Fine” really make you want to drive out to the country (or South Jersey) with your windows rolled down, hair blowing in the wind, and blasting these tunes!

Fresh out of the studio with multiple Grammy nominated producer David Ivory (The Roots, Halestorm, Patti LaBelle) 2012 will find Ten Foot Tall  touring in support of their latest release. As a teaser, the barnburner “Get Back On The Highway” will be first out of the gate. “Sleepin’ In The Devil’s Arms”, a Delbert McClinton meets Skynyrd rocker will follow shortly. To purchase a copy of Get Back On The Highway please go to our CD Baby page http://cdbaby.com/cd/tenfoottall3

Expect the full CD release sometime in June. This will be the third record from the seasoned yet restless band that continue to grow as writers and performers. Truly a breakout record but it is still the live show where TFT shines.

After being asked to open a series of shows in the Northeast with Los Lonely Boys, a billing with legend Dave Mason, sharing the stage with Rock & Roll hall of famer Bernie Worrell at the Local & Legend Festival,  and an appearance by frontman Popik opening for the Jerry Garcia Band as well as a featured spot at the Cape May Singer Songwriter festival, Ten Foot Tall has built quite a resume. ‘Love & Stone’  from the 2nd release “Feelin’ Fine” has been selected for the Alternate Root’s Sampler CD. A return to Cape May and a featured spot at MMC15, and a friday evening spot at Musikfest in Bethlehem as well as opening 2 shows for Marshall Tucker and a double Bill w/Robert Hazard round out a solid history.

Start in New York, travel up the mountains and check out the view, go to Chicago, then glide down the Mississippi and flop in new Orleans. Funk in our feet, Blues in our Gut, Jazz in our heart and Love on our mind. Whether it’s solo acoustic guitar fingerpicking or more jazzy electrified excursions TFT paints colorful scenes and creates moods evocative of the American landscape.
