As band leader for Freddie King and Johnny Copeland, Teo Leyasmeyer knows what a musician looks for as a promoter. As a projects coordinator of tributes to Howlin’ Wolf and Willie Dixon, Teo also knows what a producer needs in a promoter. So it is no surprise that Teo won the 1997 KBA as Promoter of the Year. After twenty-two years in the music biz, he is permanently based out of The House of Blues in Cambridge, Massachusetts as music coordinator. During vacation time he finds time to perform, working with such notables as Debbie Davies and G. Love & Special Sauce. If it all gets to be too much, Teo Leyasmeyer also has a background in music therapy.
