BIOGRAPHYTed Painter is an award winning country music singer/songwriter whose songs embrace the roots of traditional country music while blending contemporary country and rock influences.
Painter started writing and performing original songs at open-mic's in February 2006 after serving as an infantry officer in the US Army. The open mic circuit helped Ted to connect with other musicians, giving him the opportunity to perform as a solo artist and band front man in numerous venues throughout New England, Kentucky, Virginia and Washington DC ranging from clubs, festivals and bike rallies to open mic's and local cable access TV.
Most recently, Ted opened for country hit maker Collin Raye and for Nashville Star winner and hit songwriter, Buddy Jewell. Additionally, his songs have received airplay and he has performed live on independent and mainstream FM, AM and internet radio. Ted received the New England Country Music Organizations Songwriter of the year award (2008) and CD of the year (2009) and he is also a 2007 Great American Song Contest award winner.
