Ted Simmons

Official YouTube Channel for acclaimed songwriter poet Ted Simmons.  

Welcome to my channel, I hope you find something here that interests you.   

Ted is a multi-award nominated, critically acclaimed singer/songwriter who currently calls Dartmouth, Nova Scotia home. 

It was the sounds and stories of the south that captured his imagination as a child. "The first time I heard blues music, I wasn't very old, and had no idea what any of it meant, but it captivated me". From Blues to Country, Folk to Rock and Roll, and RandB to Contemporary Singer/Songwriter, and with influences like Muddy Waters, Townes Van Zandt, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, and The Band, with powerful, poignant, pretty and sometimes politically driven lyrics Ted has created a diversity of songs that cover the spectrum of the Americana experience.  His lyrics range from topical social commentary to fun and humorously ridiculous tales, to the poetry of love, loss, loneliness, and longing.
