About Ted & the HiFis
Ted McCloskey has been telling compelling stories to local and national audiences for years. He is a singer/songwriter, a multi-instrumentalist, a producer, and film/television composer. He has sixteen records to his name alone including 2025’s critically acclaimed Four More on the Floor. His music has been featured on hundreds of network and cable programs and he’s shared the stage with the likes of Jason Isbell, Ryan Adams, and Alejandro Escovedo.
He has a long history of working with other local musicians (including Molly Countermine, in Ted & Molly). I have seen and been very impressed with Ted in a wide variety of settings and a wide range of music, starting with an incredibly high-energy performance at the State Theater tribute show, where he was the high point of a great night for me. I learned more about Ted as a songwriter and artist during an album release show in The Attic, and have enjoyed many performances at the American Ale House piano bar with Molly and Veronica Auger.
WPSU's "Local Grove" described his work as "a mix of rock, grunge, blues, and punk" (See the video here). When he performs with the Hi-Fi’s the show has been described as "pure energy; it’s a snarling type of rock and roll that just isn’t made anymore."
When he takes over the stage at Moonstock on Friday night, he will be bringing what he called "the monster rhythm section of Daryl Branford on drums and Bob Hart on bass." He added, "This line-up is a killer high-energy groove machine so be prepared to dance the evening away."
We hope you can join us at 7pm on Friday. I predict it will be a great show and a memorable evening.
