Telfer Gone Wild!

Category: Shows, Telfer / Tag: canadian music week, mns, seahorse, Telfer / Add Comment

Great news – we got one of the wild card nods from the judges in the Music Nova Scotia battle for Canadian Music Week! That means we’ll be back for the final round of playing tomorrow night (Tuesday) at the Seahorse.

The whole event starts at 10pm and – once again – the order of the bands is randomly determined. You may as well catch the whole evening – you’re gonna get to see Carleton Stone Drives the Big Wheel, Gloryhound, Glory Glory Man United, Holding up the Grants, and yours truly.

For free.

See you there :)

Back at the Carleton

Category: Shows, Telfer / Tag: Telfer, the carleton / Add Comment

Groundhog day – the groundhog pops up and sees what? He sees Telfer back at their Thursday night spot at the Carleton – which means spring must be around the corner!

We’ll back with our friends at the Carleton for the next few Thursdays, so drop in for a drink and drown this frigid maritime cold! Tommy usually starts the show off with an acoustic set at 10pm, and then the rest of the boys jump on around 11.

See you there!

Here is the second installment of our best efforts to get you harder-to-find Telfer music!

By request, our second tune of the month is one of the first written as a band – Heaven Sent. Head on over for a listen/download of a studio version of the tune, as well as a great live clip of us playing it at the Harvest Jazz and Blues festival (put together by our good good friend Tony DeCoste on behalf of the folks at Fibbers music)

Upcoming shows at the Seahorse

Category: Shows, Telfer / Tag: canadian music week, mns, seahorse, Telfer / Add Comment

Hey folks – we’ve got a couple of interesting shows coming up at Halifax’s notorious Seahorse Tavern.

You have to be living in a cave under a rock to not have heard about the terrible things happening in Haiti right now, and the Seahorse is holding a fundraiser this coming Sunday night (Jan 24th) to try and help out.  We’re gonna be sharing the stage with some other great locals doing what we can to help out. It’s not only a good cause – it’s an important one.

Later that week on Tuesday the 26th, we’re gonna be back at the Seahorse for the MNS battle to Canada Music Week! Music Nova Scotia is hosting a battle of the bands for a coveted tiki stage showcase for this year’s Canada Music Week. These showcases are a pretty big deal – past artists including Joel Plaskett, Wintersleep, Matt Mays, J.P. Cormier, In-Flight Safety, Tom Fun Orchestra, and pretty much any other Nova Scotia band making big splashes in the last decade! So come on out and support your local Telfers! Not only will we be playing our butts off – but the rest of the lineup that night ain’t no slouches either! That’s a hearty helping of good local music for a $0.00 cover charge :)

Bobby loves his guitars, and can’t stop talking about amps/tubes/strings/necks/bla bla bla. So we figured we’d give him a little outlet and make our rides in the van a little quieter!

Bobby’s Gear Blog will cover the adventures of a young man on a quest for good tone. On his journey he will vanquish many great foes, and steal many ladies’ hearts! Will he emerge victorious? Tune in and see!

NYE at the Carleton with Telfer

Category: Shows, Telfer / Tag: Telfer, the carleton / Add Comment

The title pretty much says it all :) Our good friends Mike and Mike at the Carleton are having us down to cap off 2009. There’ going to be an absolutely first-rank dinner, followed by antics featuring yours truly.

If you recall, we had a fun little lottery going on our last few weeks playing there, where the audience could pick some covers that we would play on this historic night. We’ll be playing 2 tunes from local bands – “Fool In the Street” by Maddison Avenue, and “The Fix” by SoulRide. We’ll also be throwing down with some Ben Harper, and a hilarious tune by Focus – “Hocus Pocus”.

Also – after the dinner (11:00, 11:30ish) you won’t have to pay to get in – so if you just want to grab some pizza corner for your new year’s dinner, you’re welcome grab some free funk afterwards :)

See you there!

Telfer back in Carleton County

Category: Telfer / Tag: andrew hunter, carleton county, Telfer / Add Comment

We’ve got a couple of fun shows back home over the holiday season!

We’re very excited to be playing with our good friends Andrew Hunter and the Gatherers for the second year in a row at the Annual Christmas Shaker. It’s tomorrow night (Dec 19th) at the Hartland Golf & Country Club, and it’s always good times! Check out the event page for more details.

Also, we’ll be back at our beloved Florenceville Dooly’s for Boxing day! It’s always nice to see folks around home during the holidays – so pop on by for a drink and some tunes. I’m sure you’ll run into a couple people you haven’t seen in awhile! Tommy should be starting things off with an acoustic set at 10:00 pm, and then the full Telfer will hit the stage at 11:00 pm and play until they turn the lights on!

Hope to see you there!
