Vocalist - Bass, Rhythm Guitar, Bass Guitar, Drums, Keyboard, Piano.ABOUT
Ted Lehman was born on Long Island, a child of the 60's and 70's. His musical styles tend to run from Rock to blues to pop, country and folk. Ted has been writing and playing music for most of his life. His band "Pepperwood Greene" based out of Buffalo NY, was a vehicle for songwriters to produce their music. After leaving Buffalo Ted moved to Atlanta and, worked for a number of years writing and recording at home. With the advent of MP3 technology and the internet "I finally thought it was time to share all of my recordings both old and new on the web". Ted's music has been extremely well received by his musical peers and the public and has yielded almost 20 other independent artists to cover his songs. "After spending most of my life writing and recording music I find that I have a rather large archive of written and recorded material. I consider myself a songwriter first and performer and recording artist second." Ted is interested in other artists covering his songs. He is also interested in licensing his compositions and recordings for TV, Film, Advertising, & Video Games.

I Want My MP3
I Want My MP3 Year: 2000 Album: Totally Digital Genre: Classic Rock
Music publishers and artists looking for songs to cover: "I WANT MY MP3" is a great song to cover. It has been covered by 3 artists already besides the songwriters version. MIP Feedback: This is a great novelty song, it's very catchy, and way ahead of it's time. The song concept is great! The song is very relevant, it is a hit waiting to happen. I can hear this on a new iPhone commercial, as a popular ring tone, or on an MTV show. -------------------------------------------------- Review: I Want My Mp3 as protest song... Ted ranks on The Man. Sure, he could whine and bellyache like I would singing a protest song. BUT NOOOOO... Ted has to get ironic and humorous. And toss in all that compelling instrumental stuff that hallmarks his arrangements. Harmonica, deadcenter percussion, and badboy fuzzbox on the guitar to highlight his now-stylized approach to producing his vocals. I kept thinking movie soundtrack. If two campy fat boys can cop an Oscar for doing Flintstone music, then I shudder to think what Ted's track would do mated to some decent video. Most of you already know all about the track. But for those of you who haven't bothered to check it out,... you really should. It's the ultimate diss on the music industry. He doesn't bitch about it - he damn well thumbs his nose at it. This is clearly a role model for all of us... Strong songwriting and lyrics as well. I can't wait to take my annual road trip to Nowhere, Arizona with the spouse. I already told her I lined up some music for the highway. And the cool thing is that she already digs Ted, too! No more Dead - I'm listening to Ted! That woman hates protest music. But this one she'll dig. I like the part where his guitar basically farts at A&R reps. I'm with ya, dude! So give yourself a break from taking it all too seriously. Go listen to Ted Lehman diss the mufuhs again. And maybe you'll be inspired to fart at an A&R rep too! Billy Shaw

Tellin' Lies
Tellin' Lies Year: 2012 Album: 100% Ted
Have you ever had the feeling people were talking about you behind your back? Paranoid? Maybe... That is what this songs about. It's pretty much a basic blues structure with a bit of Ted thrown in for good measure. It has a very strong catchy hook, and the lyrics are delivered in a passionate conversational style. That is very easy to relate to. If you get angry at people trashing you behind your back than sing this song and you'll feel better.
