Biography

 Born and raised in Baxter, Tennessee, Tepoe Nash began his musical career at the very young age of five when his dad bought him a guitar for his birthday. By the age of twelve, Tepoe was writing songs and playing drums in a rock band at many of the local venues. Over the years, while developing his songwriting skills and musical abilities on various instruments, Tepoe was involved in several rock bands. Two of the bands were seriously considered by major record labels, but the challenges of keeping the bands together prohibited their further development. After accepting the reality of these challenges, Tepoe decided to pursue a solo musical career.
Tepoe began performing in Nashville, Tennessee, as an acoustic artist at various songwriting venues such as the Bluebird Café, the French Quarter, the Commodore Lounge, the Hall of Fame Lounge, and many others.  Tepoe was inspired to record his acoustic songs and then organized a tour to Las Vegas to promote his new CD. He performed at many cities along the way including Oklahoma City, Amarillo, Flagstaff, Las Vegas, Denver, and St. Louis. Tepoe was then invited to perform on a local Pax television show called “Nashville On Stage”  where he performed several times.  This show was viewed by approximately 3.5 million people in the Tennessee area. Tepoe also began collaborating and performing with Hall of Famer, Wayne Moss, also known as Barefoot Jerry.  Wayne is better known for his guitar playing and session work.  He has more session work than could be mentioned here but some of his accomplishments, and Tepoe's favorites is that he recorded the original guitar track for Roy Orbison on "O Pretty Woman" and was the lead guitarist on "Only Daddy" for Waylon Jennings.   He also was a musician on Bob Dylan's greatest CD "Blonde on Blonde.  Although Tepoe enjoys performing his acoustic music, his burning desire for rock music was reignited and led him to work on his latest project.
Tepoe’s latest project is a rock CD entitled “The Great Spin Golly”. Three on the songs on this new CD has made it to #1 on Song Planet.com Radio and is on regular rotation there. He is really proud of this new CD because every element of this project was completed by him. Tepoe played all of the instruments, sang all of the vocal parts, mixed and recorded the tracks, designed the artwork for the CD, and wrote eight out of the ten songs on the CD. The other two songs are Tepoe’s versions of some rock and roll classics.  Tepoe is currently marketing his rock CD on the internet and to radio stations throughout the world. In addition to this new rock CD, Tepoe is working on releasing his first country CD.  Tepoe has also started a new business entitled, Computerized Guitar, and is currently working on the development of his newly patented musical invention, the Tepoe Guitar TM which is featured on the website ComputerizedGuitar.com. He recently exhibited this new guitar at the 2009 Summer Namm show that was held in Nashville TN and it was well received.  Tepoe has always and will continue to diligently pursue his musical interests. He is very grateful for his past success in music and is really excited about what the future holds for him.
