Seven Teller w/ 5 Spot at the 8x10 Seven Teller is the art-rock brainchild of Baltimore musician and songwriter Sam Cochran, who started the project in 2020. A blend of funk, dance, and indie music nourishes the band’s unique, immersive sound. During live performances, the group improvises between songs by adding psychedelic textures on top of fun, upbeat rhythms. Their devoted fanbase, called the “Teller Family,” travels hours to concerts, inspiring the band to make each night feel more spontaneous and special than the last. There are moments when the whole room becomes connected and the separation between band and audience disappears. Moments like these are what the band strives for. Bouncing between structured songwriting and live improvisations, this quirky quintet gained notability in the Baltimore jam scene for their authentic, inspired performances as well as their love for, and commitment to, the local music community. Voted "Baltimore's Best Band" (Baltimore Magazine,2024), 5 Spot’s distinctive sound is most appreciated for its spacious grooves and elastic lyricism. The group plays with collaborative dynamics of tension and release, using musicality as a way to expand the consciousness of each song’s deeper meaning. Presented by The 8x10. This is an 18+ event.
