The Tens
July 1, 2022 @ 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm
The Tens debut at Alibi Ale Works – Incline Public House on Friday, July 1.
The LA based outfit emerged in 2014. They devoted their early years to performance, busking nightly and picking up weekly residencies around the city, being humbly likened to groups like The Band, Grateful Dead and Little Feat. Their improvisation and groove has since taken them across the country several times, establishing them as a premier touring spectacle.
In 2016, The Tens audaciously tracked a live, direct to vinyl record in Nashville’s Welcome to 1979. The process required them to cut each side of the double LP in a single take. The result was an honest, sonic rendering of the young, ambitious band on a beautiful day in the South.
In early 2019, the band was discovered by producer and owner of Pattern Recording Studio, Thomas Rojo. Rojo and The Tens spent the next 17 months writing and tracking their debut studio LP, Broken Romantic. The album is an emotional trip through the disillusionment of self, dreams and reality. During production, the record caught the ear of Grammy-winning producer J.J. Blair (June Carter and Johnny Cash, Smokey Robinson, The Who) who joined to mix the project. The Tens’ introspective songwriting put through Blair’s aesthetic filter was enriched yet again in the final layer of production, by the mastering skills of Peter Doell (Miles Davis, Celine Dion, The Beach Boys).
