Teel Montague is a native of Atlanta and presently lives on a small farm, Five Acre Farm, just outside the city. Besides being a gifted song writer and performer, she is also an inventor holding U.S. utilitiy patents, and CEO of Teel Cook Design, Inc.
Teel has a passion for the inner city and for working with children that have severe emotional and behavior disorders. She finds that work to be a challenging way to incorporate her faith, activism, outspokenness, resources, and artistic abilities. Her other great passion, music, lead her to become more involved in trying to make a difference socially. Her songwriting reflects this social sensitivity.
Teel also has a vision for offering Five Acre Farm as a unique music venue, getting young music fans out of the city and into the country for memorable musical events, happenings, jam sessions, "selective" mic's and gatherings. She has opened her farm up for "Something Sundays" for live acoustic music and an opportunity to make friends and form community every Sunday, 12-5pm.
Of herself and her music, Teel says, "My life experience and desire for honest expression direct my creation of melody, instrumentation, and lyric. I aspire to be as sincere and unaffected in my vocals and writing as possible, in order to convey an accessible message. Often I simply sit down with my guitar and play chords and notes that match whatever soul issue I am trying to process. The lyrics generally flow out of that."
About the new album, Shameless Jane, Teel shares that the project was inspired by a recent discovery of what defines unconditional love and how true loving relationships can be realized. "Although I may appear to be starting late in life recording and performing songs I have been writing since I was a teenager, I believe that I am actually right on time. My hope is that one of my songs connects, touching and moving you, and inspiring you in some way."
We feel the timing and the connection of Shameless Jane are both divinely in tune.
