Marc Teamaker
Teas n Seas / Phantom
Single release – 25th July 2025
“The sounds on the record recall the days of silver-faced amps and old telecasters, another Teamaker trademark.”
Jonathan Babu – Northeast Performer Magazine

“It’s better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.”

Marc Teamaker is an American singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer. Born and raised in the Bronx, New York City, Marc is now based in Stamford, Connecticut, USA. A prolific artist with a rich pedigree, Marc is gearing up to release his latest solo album, Teas n Seas, on 8th August 2025. The latest single is a double a side single Teas n Seas and Phantom, released on 25th July.
Following the lead singles North Dakota and Charlotte, the release of these two mellower, more acoustic tracks from Marc’s new album, the title track Teas n Seas alongside Phantom, gives an interesting further taster for the full album. Showcasing Marc’s skill for modern production meeting classic song-writing with bountiful hooks, exceptional musicianship and Marc’s trademark, sonorous vocal. He certainly has a voice and sound all of his own, but fans of acts as diverse as The Jayhawks, Wilco, Nathaniel Rateliff and R.E.M. as well as classic artists such as ELO, Squeeze and Fleetwood Mac will find plenty to get excited about on the Teas n Seas album.
Thematically inspired by jaunts across America as well as the tragic loss of his wife, Teas n Seas has a widescreen, cinematic perspective on life, travel and love. As Marc explains, “Teas n Seas is a series of love songs for my late wife Kathleen, both experienced and imagined. It’s a kind of conversation with her on various road trips. She’s gone but I’m still batting around ideas with her and it’s like we are writing the songs together”. The depth of feeling in the song-writing married with the lightness of touch in the arrangements and the immaculate production on display combines to create a record that is as evocative as it is moving, all packaged together with some razor-sharp hooks and earworm melodies.
Teas n Seas was composed, performed and recorded by Marc Teamaker with drummer Jared Nixon. A veteran of the US alt country scene, Marc has toured extensively across the country and been praised for his ongoing series of solo records. With the release of Teas n Seas Marc looks set to continue to build a following on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean.
The next single from the forthcoming album, Teas n Seas, will be released on Friday, July 4th. Independence Day. On all the major platforms…and even some minor ones.
In early 2022 I was home on a Sunday afternoon browsing You Tube when I
came across the Ottawa Trucker Protest. A number of people were live
streaming it. One of them happened to be a young lady named Charlotte. She,
along with her boyfriend, would go through the streets and interview the
truckers, or anyone for that matter. They even arrested her boyfriend.
Anyway, I was extremely fascinated by it. Plus, I have to admit I had a bit of a
crush on her.
From a musical standpoint, I guess we hear some kind of cross section
between Brian Wilson, early Faces, and Fleetwood Mac?
From a lyrical standpoint, apart from being turned on by the young lady, I was
fascinated by the “Citizen Journalist” as it were. I wanted to champion that
effort and to get across the point that there was hope amidst the isolation
brought about by the pandemic.

Marc is gearing up to release his latest solo album, Teas n Seas, on 8th August 2025. The album is being preceded by a run of singles, starting with the arresting indie/country/rock tune North Dakota (radio edit) coming out on 23rd May 2025.
North Dakota is a perfect first taste off the excellent Teas n Seas album.
