Catalog #DROG -056

Dog Tales is a singer/songwriter album that has a comfortable feel to it. The Voice stands in the center grounded by  Dave's picking and strumming. Around the guitar and voice are arrangements of  mostly acoustic instruments that bring focus to the music and words. Overall Dog Tales has a consistency that provides for a very good listen as Dave invites you to his own private campfire  with friends and his latest batch of songs.

CD Liner Notes.....
I've been writing songs since poetry class in grade nine when I gained access to "Stella" my sister's guitar. Mostly I hid in my bedroom and then later behind a band. This is my coming out and I'm proud to have worked with the musicians that fancied up some of the songs.  Of course I left a few naked so you know what I really sound like.

Dave Teichroeb is singer songwriter that swings between country, blue grass and pop. These "Dog Tales" come from Alberta, Mexico, Germany and Texas but are told from a campfire somewhere in Guelph, Ontario. Friends join in to add drums, bass, pedal steel, violin, dobro, mandolin, clavinet and percussive stuff .   Teichroeb is the kind of handle that causes a lifetime of explaining. I'm told Teichroeb comes from Friesland in Northern Germany and the instigator worked around ponds. It's pronounced "tike-robe", like microbe but with a T.
