This coming week will mark the 2nd anniversary of my first full-length album “Still In Limbo”—in honor of which I'm going to get back in the routine of updating the Teale Reveals blog with an entry on the title track “Limbo”!

Of the songs I’ve released, this may be the one that dates back the furthest—and it actually started out as part of an experimental neoclassical composition I was conceptualizing. I had just graduated from Centre College in 2015, as part of which I presented a prog-metal album as a…

As eclectic and diverse as my songwriting gets, one of the hardest questions I have to answer for fans, radio and other PR organizations is “What does your music sound like?”

So to shed some light on that subject (and also to honor some of my favorite artists and prove I can do covers just as well as originals), I'm starting a new blog feature called “Tribute Tuesdays” in which I play songs from artists that majorly influenced my musical style growing up.

Eventually, for some of the less recognized artists, I…

Song Spotlight: Angel Wings

Well, folks, the full Glitterfingers album is on the horizon! We’ve got two more single releases coming up, a video shoot, an album release in late August, and a tour around mid-September! With all that in the works, let’s take a step back for today’s Song Spotlight and talk about the album’s first track and lead single, “Angel Wings.”

Although I go all over the place in terms of genre, within Louisville’s music scene I mostly find myself in the folk, bluegrass, and jam band crowd.…

Last week I asked folks on Facebook what songs they wanted to see covered on this blog, and my buddy Allan Day (of experimental Lexington band A Joke, go check them out) requested this one. And… hoo boy, this is a song that needs a full blog spotlight. So here it is: the completely out-of-left-field rap song on my last album, “Solomon's Verse”!

My earliest recollection of Solomon's story comes from a children’s Bible in my house, which told a very abridged version of God visiting King Solomon in a dream and…

This week on Song Spotlight, I’ll be taking us back to one of the earliest written songs on my Spotify, Rectangles! I’ve told abridged versions of the story of this song in live shows, but here’s the full version:

Back in 2015, I was starting grad school at UT-Austin. My parents came down with me to find an apartment for the next two years, and they were looking for a lot of bells and whistles that I didn’t really care about–i.e. “does it have a pool, how many windows does it have, etc.” Meanwhile, I’m just…

In addition to hosting my music, shows, and merch, I’ll be using this website to paint a broader picture of what “Teale Appeal” is and how it relates to my music. To that end, I’ve started this blog to detail the background of my songs–starting with my next single “Half Genius”!

Textually, Half Genius is a diss track to my college/high school self–a brainiac kid with a lot of natural ability but without the drive or sense of direction to apply that knowledge. I’d come into a subject or class, ace the…
