GUITAR PLAYER SPOTLIGHTS TED DROZDOWSKI’S SCISSORMEN IN FEATURE AS MUSIC CITY ROOTS AIRS PERFORMANCE ON PSYCH-ROOTS BAND

HEADS UP TO PHILLY & DC: BAND TOURING NORTHEAST IN NOVEMBER

Nashville psychedelic-roots band Ted Drozdowski’s Scissormen is the subject of a Guitar Player feature and will perform on syndicated radio show Music City Roots on October 28. The band will also launch a northeast tour in November, including stops in Philly and D.C.

“Psychedelic juke joint… great songs, a sense of mystery, and the concept of a record as a work of art in and of itself… The guitarist and his Scissormen put on take-no-prisoners shows.”
- Michael Ross, Guitar Player, December, 2015

“So damn enthralling… Rooted in the deepest of blues yet explores the outer edges of the cosmos.”
- Sean L. Maloney, Nashville Scene, August 13, 2015

“Blues-drenched, sometimes psychedelic.”
- Ed Symkus, Boston Globe, July 30, 2015

“The gnarliest album recorded in a tent that you'll hear all day.”
- Chris Steffen, All Music, July 23, 2015

“Staggering guitar skills.”
- Chuck Armstrong, Diffuser.FM, April 20, 2015

“Raw garage rock.”
- Adrien Begrand, Pop Matters, June 29, 2015

“Furious blues… Slide guitar wizard… There’s his hobby of using just about anything  and everything available to him for playing slide guitar, including forks, knives, bottles and pistols…”
- Pollstar, August 6, 2015

“singular music vision… It's his strongest, most satisfying work to date... Forward-looking, yet anchored firmly in its roots, 'Love & Life' reinforces the status of Ted Drozdowski's Scissormen as one of the most outstanding bands on the scene."
- Melanie Young, Living Blues, August, 2015

“Drozdowski’s Scissormen cut through the bullshit… Contemporary cosmic blues drenched in reverb and the dark bayou demons that inhabit each day… Love & Life isn’t your typical virtuoso release. It’s the fulcrum wherein Drozdowski pairs his devotion to a music whose roots run deeper than democracy.”
- 80/100, Mike Jurkovic, Elmore Magazine, August 4, 2015

“A very deep groove.”
- Lee Zimmerman, Pop Matters, July 28, 2015
