King Teddy was asked to open the Wammies award ceremony this year - we were thrilled to be asked, and played a couple of songs from "Stirred and Shaken". As soon as videos and pictures are posted, we'll link 'em here. Please stand by...
A Very Teddy Christmas!
Two brand new original tunes available to download on CDBaby - these brand new retro-swing Christmas classics (two originals, plus a sax-driven instrumental take on “Winter Wonderland”) will be right at home in your holiday mix whether you’re warming your cockles by the fireplace or triple-stepping around the dance floor. Visit CDBaby or iTunes and get 'em before the holiday rush!
USAirways in-flight entertainment - swinging at 30,000 feet!
Our song, "Buzz, Buzz, Buzz and Tweedlee Dee" was selected to be one of fifteen songs on the Indie Showcase: Sonicbids Audio Channel available on US Airways during the months of July and August. With 3,244 national and international flights, it's possible that 610,000 passengers heard King Teddy!
Short Stack is Again Available!
All of the tunes from our 2003 EP are now available through CDBaby - iTunes will follow shortly! Only $4 cheap!
We're up against some pretty stiff competition in the DC area, so winning the Wammie for the Big Band/Swing Recording category, and the Wammie for Debut Recording is a pretty big deal to us. Thank you to those that voted for us, to those that have picked the album up, to the DC music community we fondly call home, and a special thanks to our generous and die-hard supporters in the swing dance community. We love you.
King Teddy received nominations in five categories of the 2010 Wammie Awards:
- Mike Sottong for Big Band/Swing Vocalist
- King Teddy for Big Band/Swing Group
- Stirred and Shaken for Big Band/Swing Recording
- Stirred and Shaken for Debut Recording
- Stirred and Shaken for Record Design
We're delighted to have received such kind recognition from the Washington, D.C. music community, and congratulate all winners and nominees on great accomplishments in 2010.
