Description

teja is an ongoing electronic music experiment, with lots of guitar, rooted in classic rock, progressive and ska styles that began back in the early 80's. The sound of teja, like the sound of rock music in general, has changed and evolved over the years since its inception. if you're looking for popular cookie-cutter rock-n-roll you've come to the wrong place. if you looking for something different and interesting, perhaps even weird or odd - then look no further. welcome, listen, enjoy and praise God.

Why this name?

Band History

Based in the 'burbs of Philadelphia PA (Valley Forge). I've (Warren) been playing piano and guitar as far back as I can remember. I started writing with guitarist Ken Shockley about mid-2000. Samples of my daughter Lindsay talking and singing find their way into the compositions from time to time. I've jammed with many talented people over the years who have helped shape my musical style.
