Rob Teehan - Toronto tuba player and Juno-nominated composer

Housekeeping

I've added a bit more multimedia to the content pages on this site.

Visit Music and scroll down to the bottom, and you'll find a few new videos of me performing on sousaphone with a few of the bands I play with.

I've also added a photo gallery of informal and "action" shots to go with the publicity photos already on the "Photos" page.

Welcome!

Google Analytics tells me I'm getting a serious spike in traffic lately, all due to the Juno buzz I'm sure.  Welcome, if you're visiting for the first time!  I thought I'd re-post the link to my Juno-nominated composition, "Dreams of Flying", which can be listened to on CBC Radio's Concerts on Demand.

Click here to check it out.  (For some reason I'm listed as "Bob Teehan").

I'm going to keep this post at the top of the site for the next few days.

Improvements

It's been just under two weeks since this new blog went online and I'm pretty happy with how it's running so far.  Whether I can keep the writing up remains to be seen - but I do enjoy the writing, it's a nice break when I get tired of slogging away at commissions, plus it helps me get my thoughts organized.

For those keeping track, I've recently made some additions to the site:

• Added "Calendar" page, using a handy-dandy Google Calendar widget to show my upcoming gigs and performances of my compositions.
• Added "Music Blog" list on the right sidebar.
• Added a new "Releases" section on the Press page, and posted the press release that went out after my Juno nomination.  Hopefully there will be more releases in the future.  Other content on that page is under a new "Reviews" section.

Thanks to everyone who has been dropping by.  Tell your friends!

Welcome!

Welcome to the new home of RobTeehan.com!

This is a Typepad blog which I've set up as my new personal site (with a custom design, as you can see!).  I moved from the old host (Hostbaby.com) because I wanted to have the better commenting, subscribing etc. features that come with the Typepad software.

I've also got some content pages which cover more or less the same content from the old site (photos contact, bio, etc.); look at the bottom of the image banner above to access them.  I've added some new stuff (a "services" page, and I've revamped the "music" page), and more photos and recordings will be gradually making their way in over the coming days, so feel free to have a look around.

I'm looking forward to taking advantage of this blog to keep you all up to date on my musical adventures; I'll also be writing about my thoughts and experiences about the music business.  Maybe posting some cool youtube links every once in a while too :).

P.S. Some VERY BIG NEWS coming VERY SOON!

P.P.S. I've copied over and "back-dated" some of the more recent blog entries from the old site, which will be deleted.
