The Teenage Prayers Live on WMBR's 3 Ring Circus Program

Hosted by:

Originally aired:

With a sound that lies somewhere between The Band, The Kinks, Otis Redding and the cast soundtrack to Cabaret, The Teenage Prayers are both oddly familiar and totally distinct. Formed in New York City, 2001, the Teenage Prayers rapidly evolved into the rock-(rock opera)-and-soul explosion that caught the ear of Solomon Burke, who flew the band out to LA to produce the final cut on their self-released debut record, Ten Songs. The soulful vocals of singer Tim Adams carry through the release from note one until the final note, a cover of Burke's Goodbye Baby. For their follow-up record, due in Spring 2007, the Teenage Prayers enlisted as producer none other than the legendary founder of the Dream Syndicate, Steve Wynn, who calls the Prayers his "favorite band in NYC." We look forward to a debut of some new material as well as some rock, some soul and a whole lot of swagger. Tune in.

Location: 88.1 FM
