Scissormen - 2 albums: When The Devil Calls / Luck In A Hurry

Some artists just play music. Ted Drozdowski inhabits it, with all his heart and soul, powering his true-to-life songs with high-energy performances that often find him literally playing on his audience’s tables and in their laps. Through a decade and five albums, a collaboration with world-renown roots music film maker Robert Mugge (Gospel According To Al Green, Deep Blues, Sonny Rollins: Saxophone Colossus), he’s led his band Scissormen through the US and Europe, playing everything from Mississippi juke joints to major festivals including Bonnaroo and France’s Cognac Blues Passions.

For Ted, American roots music is a vital bridge between generations, cultures and the past and the future. And he uses that bridge to not only connect deeply with his fans in concerts, but in the slide guitar and music history workshops he conducts. Often Ted Drozdowski’s Scissormen are about surprises. Not only in the imagination and scope the trio brings to its recordings and performances, but even in the way Ted and the group approach creating music. Check out Ted playing the one-string diddley bow, for example, and consider where he recorded the next Ted Drozdowski’s Scissormen album: in a tent in the woods down a dirt road high on a mountaintop behind Nashville’s historic Loveless Café.
