RADAR: Teddy Geiger

Like a lot of artists, Teddy Geiger has seen his fair share of major label highs - a "next big thing" Top 10 album Underage Thinking when he was all of 16 -- and lows -- shelved follow ups, getting dropped as quickly as he was signed. And like many, he's now on the D.I.Y. path, reaching out to fans to help fund a new album, his first new music since the 2010 EP Living Alone, and give him control over his music. His dollar goal now achieved, Geiger will release his new album The Last Fears via the fan-supported Pledge Music this spring. It's been six years since his "For You I Will" became a hit single when he was just 16 but it's clear from new songs like "Fall Away" he hasn't lost his ability to pen a memorable folk/pop melody and deliver it with a minimum of fuss and pretense.
