Big Fat Teddy is the brain child of one of Richmond, Virginia’s aspiring solo artist – Ted M. Born in 1969 at the heights of the Vietnam War, Teddy grew up in the 70’ sand 80’s feeding off a wide array of influences from Waylon Jennings to Bob Seger, Tom Paxton and CCR just to the name a few and then there was Donkey Kong and Pac Man. He also loves the blues though he’s not quite mastered the Stratocaster magic for the blues just yet. That doesn’t mean thier won’t be a time when he belts his own brand of the genre. Big Fat Teddy is constantly evolving and learning new things. He prides himself in embracing both today’s technology and yesterday’s wisdom to mold his very own unique sound.
He is a natural born outlaw of sorts who missed his time but tries to capture the essence of those greats like Waylon with just as much flavor of his own. Teddy loves to indulge in some of the political numbers of the day with a modern day twist often tinkering with the lyrics just a tad to bring them up to history’s time. Sometimes, he’ll make a great song better on a whim of a moment with a personal bent. But it’s not just covers for Big Fat Teddy, he has written and performed a few of his own originals too. Be sure to check them out in the music section.
Big Fat Teddy takes his sound from a blend of the blues, folk, country and rockn’roll. He continues to discover his own voice and the beauty of music through these wide ranging 
influences. Big Fat Teddy loves all types of music and believes the best way to become a great performer and grow creatively is to be exposed to a lot of different types of music even some he doesn’t quite like at first. “There is always a creative lesson or tidbit from other people’s work to keep you constantly evolving musically speaking.” — BFT
If there were just one thing Big Fat Teddy would wish for in his musical quests, it would be to just give everybody a good rockn’ time to remember like so many before him. He’d like to make the people that touched him proud someday with the same magic they did years ago.
