I am very excited to announce that thanks to Toyota I have been invited to next week’s Stagecoach Music Festival in Palm Springs, California. You can see the awesome list of musicians below. I for one am really excited to see the dude himself, Jeff Bridges.

Besides the great list of country music performers, Toyota will also be revealing the new 2014 4Runner during the festival. As you can see from the photo below, it looks like a great vehicle to explore the great outdoors whether you are hiking, canoeing, or skiing.

The fact that I am going to Palm Springs to see a country music festival and perhaps meet the Dude makes me so ecstatic that I just want to break out in song. The weather forecast itself is enough to bring excitement to this outdoors enthusiast. The weather here has been horrendous with gray skies, torrential downpours, and flooding this spring.
Last Thursday’s commute in Chicago
Palm Springs weather forecast – need I say more
The song I have chosen to play is by the Eagles called “peaceful easy feeling.” This song is perfect for the moment because it is how I feel, the Eagles, although not present at Stagecoach, have undoubtedly influenced most of the acts at Stagecoach, and also the line “I want to sleep with you in the desert tonight with a million stars all around,” makes me think of the forecast above.
A couple of things about this video,
- Traveling Ted will not be performing at Stagecoach, so no worries.
- I will not be quitting my day job or blogging job to go on tour
- Although the trip is sponsored by Toyota, the company does not endorse the singing or the guitar playing found in the above video
- I look forward to bringing the music festival to life with pictures and video from people with actual music talent on this blog, Instagram, and twitter, and Facebook.

Very cool! Looks like that Toyota would be the perfect car to have in Kathmandu.
That would be awesome to cruise around Nepal in the back of a 4Runner when I come to visit.
Haha! Awesome! Hope you have a great time at Stagecoach. Weather will definitely be hot there but at least it’s a dry heat 🙂

I don’t care what kind of heat it is. Right now it is a cold drizzling miserable day in the Midwest. GET ME OUT OF HERE 🙂
OMG I loved your video!!!!!! You have a great voice. 🙂

Thanks Andi, I appreciate it. I have only inflicted my playing on a few drunken campfires and to my neighbors, so it was fun to tape myself to see how I sound and post.
OMG Ted you should perform at Stagecoach!.. with Lady Antebellum! 😀

Thanks Deej,
I may be the first artist to get a record deal not to play 🙂
LOL – great post! Love you are wearing the hat in the video but the REAL question is… where you wearing the fanny pack?? Have a blast in Palm Springs!

No fanny pack on in the video, but it will be on in spades at the festival.
Fanny pack gets in the way of the guitar. I only wear it when it is useful.
Way to go Ted – singing and not the least bit self conscious. Must be all those campfires you’ve been to. Sounds like a fun festival and nice of Toyota to reach out to you. I pick up my sporty Ford vehicle tomorrow, throw my bike in the back and will head west to the ocean for a week.I’m ready to feel the spring breeze once I cross Roger’s Pass in the Rockies tomorrow.
Have a peaceful, easy – not to hoot feeling in Palm Springs.

Sister? Who are you calling sister 🙂
I’m obsessed with the video of you singing and playing the guitar – you better run up on stage and play! That car looks awesome, and I love a good music festival. I looked up Haunted Windchimes after you posted them playing on Instagram – I am officially a fan! Hope you’re having fun!

Thanks Erin,
I will bring the guitar to TBEX. Hope to play it when everyone is so smashed they won’t know the difference when I screw everything up.
