BIO:
Have you ever wondered about the journey of a musician who reinvents himself, not just in his craft but in his mission? Ted Poley, acclaimed for his versatile musical talent and devotion to animal rights, takes center stage in this episode. His tale, spanning from his musical roots in New Jersey to his current role as an animal welfare advocate, promises to be as captivating as his soulful renditions. We dig deep into his early influences, his instrumental metamorphosis in a cover band, and the launch of his unique acoustic van tour.
Ted's narrative takes us on a wild ride through the world of cover bands, highlighting the art of mastering an instrument and the hurdles one encounters while transitioning from one instrument to another. He walks us through his time in the grunge music scene in the late 80s and early 90s, sharing his collaborative efforts with former band members of Trickster, Ted Nugent, and Billy Joel. Despite the success and the bonds formed, every band has its expiry, and we delve into the aftermath of their disbandment.
However, the spotlight truly shines on Ted's passion for animal rights and how he has incorporated this into his acoustic van tour. He opens up about his love for animals, his plans to traverse the country performing and meeting fans, and his unwavering support for local no-kill animal shelters. As we draw a curtain on this episode, we leave you with a call to action: join Ted's fight, champion animal welfare, and support your local animal shelters. This episode is not just a tale of music and passion; it's about finding a purpose and making a difference. Do join us on this inspiring journey!
