Texas-born singer-songwriter Joe Teichman takes this traveling troubadour thing seriously: he’s recently departed his Central Texas comfort zone for a new home base in Colorado, but he’s been finding ways to take his usually-solo-acoustic show on the road more or less nationwide for a couple of years now. With opportunities to share the stage with acts such as: Bryan White, Scotty Emerick, Jace Everett, Walt Wilkins, Susan Gibson, Josh Grider and Drew Kennedy, Teichman constantly tries to find new ways to connect his songs and the listeners.

BIO:
TJ Broscoff is often described as an old soul in a young body.  His music and lyrics range from everyday life experiences, to the joy of a new love, to the devastation of finding oneself at the losing end of an addiction.  His newest album READY TO FLY brings us full circle to a young man whose hard knocks and deeply set scars reveal a songwriting talent that is both painfully authentic and emotionally robust.  Produced by Bill Green, READY TO FLY is an exposed diary that signifies a remarkable journey that most of us cannot imagine.  The album had generated much deserved acclaim garnering him a spot on the Texas Music Chart’s top 30 with his first single “Hold” and on the Texas Regional Radio Chart’s Top 30 with his second single “Pillow,” TJ was recently nominated for Best New Male Vocalist of the Year at the Texas Regional Radio music Awards.  He will also be a featured artist on the upcoming TV series Troubadour Texas that will air in September on the CW Network.  With venue owners phoning in offers for repeat performances and peers deeming him “The Dave Matthews of Texas country,” TJ Broscoff is a gale force wind to be reckoned with.

“I dig the rasp in his throat, the melodic song and the twinkling, breezy production. Very promising. Send more. " –Robert Oermann, Music Row Nashville/Billboard 

“As a young musician in Dallas, TJ Broscoff lost his fledgling career to cocaine and whiskey. After hitting rock bottom, he ditched the drugs and renewed his interest in songwriting. Many addicts will identify with his path in "Ready to Fly," a rugged and honest look at his life.” -Craig Shelburne/CMT.com

“One quote that has been attributed to the music of T.J. Broscoff is that he is an “old soul in a young body.” Listening to his music, I get that sentiment. I’ll even go a step further. Broscoff might very well be the best pure songwriter to hit the genre since Jamey Johnson came to Nashville a few years back.”  -Chuck Dauphin/Music News Nashville

“Listening to TJ Broscoff was a revelation. Imagine listening to an artist like Slaid Cleaves or Brandon Rhyder, an artist with strong melodic songs that have something to say.”  -Matt Bjorke/Roughtstock.com

“TJ’s sincere, hoarse-voiced sound, and the production value all are commercially viable.  The songs deal with common subjects-looking for, finding, and losing love; the wrong side of the tracks; being on the road without a map; abuse; etc.-from a depth that most people have never lived.”   -Tom Geddie/Country Line Magazine

“One of the great things about covering music is the opportunity to witness exceptional talented performers. Right now, I would put TJ Broscoff right there at the top of the list. He expresses himself both lyrically and musically, doing what so many people wish they could do: tell a story. And perhaps even more importantly, he respects Texas music. Great songs, great voice, great respect. You can’t ask for much more than that. I look forward to following TJ’s career for years to come.”  -Sam Moore/Texas Music Journal

"This is a first in a long time - but, every DJ in the booth has independently discovered TJ's album and they LOVE it!!! Most of it occurred when they each heard me playing the title track. They were immediately hooked and have had a blast exploring the full project. -Dawn Dale, KFAN Program Director

" TJ Broscoff is one of those rare talents that don't just happen everyday! TJ has taken a hard life and delivered it from his soul to his music. You can really feel what he's feeling and that, my friend, is something rare.” -Scotty Preston, Program Director, KOLI, 949 

"I knew TJ was one of those special artists, that don't come down the trail, very often. TJ is INFECTIOUS! His lyrics are heart felt and real. Do yourself a favor put TJ in your cd player, and hope it gets stuck!” -Jim Nash Program Director KRVF 106.9
