"CeCe Teneal Brings the Neo-Blues to “Eleanor Rigby”"

More often than not, cover versions of The Beatles songs stay pretty true to the original. Respect and reverence for the time-tested originals leads artists to stick pretty close to the template. So when a new artist appears on the scene with a refreshing, updated take on a Fab Four classic, we take notice. As we noted last month, 2012 is shaping up to be a banner year of Beatles covers.

The music video premiere from CeCe Teneal features the “voice of neo-blues” making “Eleanor Rigby” her own. The soulful, bluesy track is featured on her 2011 debut album Train From Osteen. In the video below, CeCe takes black and white images of today’s political leaders, mixing them with shots of life in the streets to give the forty-five-year-old song a new relevancy. - Peter Ferioli


"Get Ready!"

CECE TENEAL. She has been called the “Voice Of Neo-Blues” and it’s a title certainly worthy of a talent like CeCe Teneal. With a healthy blend of invigorating and soothing sounds, her music is not merely entertainment – it’s an experience. She has opened for B.B. King and shared the stage with Buddy Guy. Check out the YouTube link below for her version of The Beatles’ classic “Eleanor Rigby” (a song included on her album Train from Osteen). Her explosive sound is evident in the music she creates. - Sooze Blues & Jazz


"CeCe Teneal Video Exclusive"

Here is a music video premiere from “The Voice of Neo-Blues,” CeCe Teneal, who unleashes her first video, “Eleanor Rigby.” The song is featured on her debut, full-length album Train From Osteen. In the video, when the classic question originally asked by The Beatles “All the lonely people, where do they all belong?” is posed, CeCe points a finger at today’s political leaders to answer - Huffington Post - Mike Ragogna


"CECE TENEAL OFFERS MP3 “WORK”"

Given the fact that CeCe Teneal recently received a heartwarming shout-out from President Barack Obama himself after her spine-tingling performance at the Democratic Election Campaign Fundraiser, it might be hard to imagine, but this newly anointed queen of neo-blues comes from decidedly humble beginnings. Indeed, at the tender age of six Cece was belting out spirituals from behind the pews of her church in Osteen, FL.

“Work” MP3: SKOPE IT HERE!

And even then, as her voice resonated through the church and out into the dusty streets of her country town, it was clear that the young lady had not only a special set of pipes, but an instinct for the music and sound that would carry her into the future. In October, Cece Teneal released her debut full-length, Train from Osteen, which has quickly captured the hearts and souls of listeners and critics alike, and marks not only the culmination of much hard work come to fruition, but the majestic new beginning of Cece’s reign. - Scope Magazine


"CeCe Teneal: The Voice of Neo-Blues"

Not many of us can add a personal shout-out from President Barack Obama to our list of accomplishments, but CeCe Teneal can.

In 2007, on the strength of her voice and a performance at the show she curated in Orlando, Florida, “Sunday Night Live,” Cece was hired as the lead singer of the B.B. King All-Star Band. Now, with Train from Osteen, this neo-blues maven has drawn on the influences of her childhood to redefine the sound of the blues—and everyone is taking notice.

Dubbed “The Voice of Neo-Blues”, Cece Teneal come from humble beginnings. Since belting out gospel tunes in church as a young girl, it was clear that the young lady had not only a special set of pipes, but an instinct for the music and sound that would carry her into the future.

In October, Cece Teneal released her debut full-length, Train from Osteen, which has quickly captured the hearts and souls of listeners and critics alike, and marks not only the culmination of much hard work come to fruition, but the majestic new beginning of Cece’s reign. - The Daily Venus Diva

Bio

Miss Cece Teneal grew up with her grandparents in a small town called Osteen, just outside of Orlando, Florida. She remembers hearing her grandmother say “What God has for you is for you!” Cece’s life journey is a testimony to those words. It was never her dream to be a singer. She never envisioned herself on stage with her name in lights. Her desire was the American Dream: a house, a family, and a white picket fence; however, God had a different plan. 

The renowned Cece Teneal began her musical journey more than 13 years ago. After singing in 
various venues throughout the Central Florida region, her career was catapulted to new heights when she was selected as the lead singer for B.B. King’s Blues Club. There, she released her debut blues album, “Train from Osteen,” in front of a sold out crowd. Cece has traveled the worldentertaining lovers of blues and soul and had the honor of gracing the stage before Buddy Guy,Joe Cocker, Johnny Lang, Trombone Shorty, and the legendary B.B. King, to name a few.

As a child, Aretha Franklin her reason for singing. Franklin inspired Miss Teneal with her stunning voice and captivating stage presence. This inspiration has motivated Cece to create a complete Vegas-style tribute show in Franklin’s honor. Miss Teneal has been an advocate for community-based arts and entertainment events for more than 10 years. She perfected her vocal talent to become sheer artistry, and has mentored countless accomplished and up-and-coming artists.

Dubbed as the “voice of the century”, Cece Teneal is a 
blues-centric soprano with a soul-stirring voice. Fans, spectators, music critics, musicians, industry peers, and many others say that Miss Teneal is a musical force like no other. Her power, presence, and passion on stage create an experience that attendees readily bill as good for the soul Cece considers herself to be a “little ole country girl” who wants to make people feel good. Miss Teneal believes that if for just one night she can replace the cares of life and fill listeners’ hearts with joy, peace, and music, accolades and titles are not necessary. When asked what she thinks about her grandmother’s words of wisdom,Miss Teneal says, “My Grandma was right! What God has for me IS for me. This music thing IS definitely for me. Now that I know that for sure, it’s my pleasure to share it with the world.”
