Nice to meet you, I'm Ted Hammock...

      When I moved to Long Beach Island, NJ over a decade ago, I came with the intentions of spreading good vibes and sharing my true love for music. I couldn't be happier with the passion and energy in the faces I see as we sing together night after night...

     First and foremost, I am a singer, a songwriter and a cover artist. I was raised in West Chester, PA and began my music career in the greater Philadelphia area. As my hobby soon turned to a profession, I found myself traveling the country from season to season, playing shows of all kinds from the Rocky Mountains of Colorado to the beach-front gigs of the Jersey Shore. No matter the venue, I bring an energy influenced by some of the greatest musicians of our time: song list.

     As a solo artist, I play over 200 shows a year, entertaining crowds of all kinds (bars, private parties, weddings, events, etc.) with a stripped-down style of acoustic music that's tuned specifically to the energy of each individual venue. My interaction and connection with the crowd is as important to me as the music I play. Contact me for available dates.

    Check my upcoming shows for a list of performances which include solo outings as well as the occasional collaboration with the very talented Pickles Duo (Monday nights at The Old Causeway) and my good friend Jason Booth (Tuesday nights at Calloway's).

     Lastly, please check me out on iTunes. In 2007 (with my full band) I released "Making My Way", a full length album for which I toured over 20 states in support of. In October of 2010 I released an EP "In Between" which you can preview and purchase here.
