“There's something for everyone on Mid-South Fare, and it all adds up to a good-time album. Fare thee well!” - Eric Althoff, Read Junk
"Ted Horrell & The Monday Night Card are an aural breath of fresh air...the artist subverts expectations entirely." - Amelia Vandergast, A&R Factory
"The first thing you have to deal with...is singer Ted Horrell's wide open, seemingly guileless vocals." - Danny Alexander, Pitch Weekly, Kansas City
"There's a touch of early R.E.M. or the Wallflowers on songs like "Waking Up Is Hard To Do" and "Tension in This Town." But make no mistake: This is still very much contemporary rock-and-roll, even if there are other genres mixed in." - Chris Shaw, Memphis Flyer
For more than 25 years, Ted Horrell has been collaborating with musical friends to bring his original songs to life. His current band, The Monday Night Card (named after the once-weekly professional wrestling matches held at the Mid-South Coliseum in Memphis when he was growing up), blends complex harmonies and rich, layered instrumentation to make new music and interpret songs from Horrell's constantly growing repertoire.

About
Ted Horrell & The Monday Night Card is a critically-acclaimed Memphis band known for its potent blend of Americana, Roots Rock, and Power Pop.
The band is led by singer-songwriter Ted Horrell, a voice in the Memphis scene for over twenty years, who previously co-fronted the successful Rock 103 “Great Unsigned” contest winners, The Central Standards. Horrell’s songwriting—which earned him runner-up in the 2022 Memphis Songwriter Association competition—is often likened to the thoughtful construction of Elvis Costello and the punchy hooks of early R.E.M.
The Monday Night Card's sound is driven by a powerful rhythm section and layers of harmony. Their latest album, Mid-South Fare, showcases their versatility, moving seamlessly from uptempo rockers to elegiac acoustic tracks. The group takes its name from the title single, a tribute to the legendary Monday night wrestling matches at the Mid-South Coliseum.
Ted Horrell & The Monday Night Card features Ted Horrell (singer, songwriter, guitar), David Twombly (drums), Casey Smith (bass), Natalie Duncan (keys/vocals) and Amy Gunnell (vocals) with Eric Gentry (guitar) and Dallas Pope (drums and percussion).
Recordings
Ted has released nine collections of original music since 1999. He currently records and performs with The Monday Night Card, but previously sang, wrote songs, and played lead guitar with the Memphis band The Central Standards, as well as with the Kansas City band Resident Clark before that. All of Ted's recorded albums are available to stream or purchase below or from the Store link on this page.
