Chris Teichman

“These five artists are all bands that I’ve seen in Sacramento and have been listening to a lot lately. Sometimes the great bands do make a stop in the small bars of Sactown,” explained Chris Teichman, guitarist and vocalist for the Ancient Sons. The band, which also features Matt K. Shrugg and Brad Teichman, performs tonight at the Distillery. Check out www.myspace.com/theancientsons for more upcoming shows.
