We just learned that the Coffee Gallery has been without power for 3 days due to the wind storm and therefore has to cancel tonight’s show. If you were planning on joining us there tonight, we plan to rebook our appearance there at some future date, so please stay tuned.
Until then, keep the air filled with old time music!
Happy Holidays to you and thanks for sharing your attention with us.

can join us at the Coffee Gallery Backstage on Sat, Dec 3 from 7-9pm, where we’ll unveil it for the first time. Modal Tease and Cliff Wagner & Old Number 7 double headline this bill in celebration of their new CDs, bringing you a not-to-be-missed Christmas show that celebrates music from Appalachia, Nashville, and Beyond. Admission is $20. The Backstage is such an ideal place to see acoustic music — great sound, intimate setting — and seating is very limited, so we recommend RESERVING YOUR SEAT by calling (626) 798-6236 between 10a and 10p. For more info on the show, go to http://www.coffeegallery.com/showsat.htm and scroll down to Dec 3rd.
Thanks for your interest in our music and wishing you a delightful Thanksgiving.
The Modal Tease String Band had a great month of July, kicked off by our virgin jam at the Fretted Frog Acoustic Guitar Store. Thanks to all of you who came to play and also to Roland for graciously letting us invade his store :-). We also made a couple impromptu Farmer’s Market appearances, enjoyed jamming in the Eastern Sierras, and took ourselves on the road to Portland to help Cliff (our mandolin player) celebrate his marriage, resulting in our 1st (of hopefully many) “Rest Stop” tours. To share this good life with you, some pictures follow.
This Friday (8/12, 8-10:45p) we host our next 2nd Friday jam at the Frog — bring your axe and come HOEDOWN. Beforehand (5:30-7p), three Teasers will perform at the Echo Park Farmer’s market (1125 Logan St Los Angeles, CA 90026).
On Sunday 8/14, 8:30a-12:30p, the 5-piece band will appear in Long Beach at the Farmer’s Market (8:30a-12:30p; Marina Dr & E 2nd St). Joe Wack — a seasoned West VA fiddler — will be sitting in — don’t miss it.
I’m gone for most of August on vacation, which will include a stop in Martinez where I perform a solo set at the Hopeful Romantics‘ American Sunday (8/4, 3-6p, Armando’s in Martinez CA). I’ll also be joining my family for a few days at the Centralia old-time campout.
