The Tejon Street Corner Thieves hail from the Colorado Rockies and forged their original brand of whiskey roots from the ground up. Honing their craft on the streets, they swiftly gained recognition from the music community with Colorado Springs Gazette awarding the band with their “Best of the Springs” award, the Pikes Peak Art Council hailed the group as “Best In Show” in 2017, and in 2018 the Colorado Springs Independent dubbed them “Best Original Band”. As a nationally touring act, the band has become notorious for their shenanigans and over the top live performances. The Tejon Street Corner Thieves consistent show schedule and heart filled showmanship have captured the hearts of fans and created a cult-like following.
Tejon Street Corner Thieves have been turning heads with a completely unique take on traditional folk and bluegrass music. The group made headlines with their viral music video for "Never Meant To Be", which showed the band playfully doing a parody impersonation of key artists in the dark folk and alt-country scenes. The video spawned countless reaction videos from those parodied in the video including Dead South, Shawn James, Days N' Daze, Orville Peck, Bridge City Sinners, Harley Poe, and more.
Tejon Street Corner Thieves recently signed to Liars Club, the label founded by Banjo-attacking murderfolk troubadour Amigo the Devil and indie powerhouse Regime Music Group.
Amigo the Devil said, “It’s a very rare and fortunate opportunity to find a band that is as much of a powerhouse in a live setting as they are while listening at home, alone, dancing, and shouting out the completely un-avoidable and wildly infectious sing-alongs. I knew from the moment we played a show with Tejon for the first time that it was something special and it’s an honor to have them as the first addition to the family we’re expanding into. This group, this label, this whatever you want to call it is a goal I’ve had to build something in unity where we all feel confident and comfortable to be ourselves and know that we aren’t at all alone in our strangeness. There’s no one more fitting than Tejon Street Corner Thieves to be a part of it and we’re grateful they’re on board. They’re just such good dudes too, it’s unreal haha.”

Colorado Springs outlaw alt-folk group, Tejon Street Corner Thieves, have announced the details for their new album Stolen Goods. The 10-track was recorded at Royal Recordings in Colorado Springs with producer Bill Douglass, and pays homage to the classic traditional Americana, folk, and bluegrass songs that helped redefine genres; and lay the groundwork for what would become the roots of modern folk.
"This release is a collection of songs that are staples in our band's history. Even before we were a band, I was traveling the country and playing music and busking. I picked up a ton of traditional and old-time tunes along the way,' said Connor O’Neal from Tejon Street Corner Thieves. "I really got into artists like Pink Anderson and jug bands like the Mississippi Sheiks and took a ton of inspiration from them. These were the songs we played when the band first formed. Before we even started writing our own songs, these were the ones we’d play when we busked. And we’ve kept them around ever since. We love sneaking them into our sets to keep that old spirit alive."
Shawn D’Amario adds, "The title 'Stolen Goods' was an easy choice for this album because we can’t take any credit for writing these. They are American traditional songs. They shaped music as we know it today. The rag songs turned into jazz, the blues songs turned into rock n roll. Like many before us, we stole them. And songs with that much history tend to be good ones!"
Traditional music has produced some timeless classic songs that have influenced countless generations of songwriters. These classic Traditional songs have been passed down for generations and the roots can be traced back to as early as the mid-1800s, making them some of the most important and essential moments in music history. Tejon Street Corner Thieves have re-recorded these timeless classics and re-worked them adding their own unique trash grass twist to make them their own.
When it came time to assemble the visual album artwork, Tejon Street Corner Thieves were blessed with an original illustration by artist Jim Evans, also known as TAZ the “Rock Poster God”. TAZ has illustrated and designed some of the most iconic rock posters for everyone from Neil Young, the Ramones, Smashing Pumpkins, Pixies and more.
Tejon Street Corner Thieves "Stolen Goods" is now available for pre-order at http://store.liarsclubrecords.com/ in CD and limited edition vinyl. The vinyl is a special edition that will include the new Tejon Street Corner Thieves board game "Larry", where fans play and party as their favorite band member of the band warping through the chaotic world of life on the road. The pre-order also offers a deluxe bundle that includes a limited edition print of the album art from Jim "TAZ" Evans".
With musicians directly suffering a major blow with canceled tours due to the COVID-19 global pandemic, Colorado Springs outlaw blues and trash-grass pioneers Tejon Street Corner Thieves have found a new way to get their music directly to fans via drive-by performances. The band have been using their tour bus and a P.A system to drive through fans neighborhoods to promote their new single "Lay Low". The band has been connecting through performances inside their tour bus while fans take in the music sitting on their porch in an effort to practice safe social distancing. Since the news broke of the band making pitstops through fans' neighborhoods, Tejon Street Corner Thieves has received hundreds of requests via their Facebook page for additional tour stops.
"Our tour was booked and we were excited to go out and play for fans every night on the road. Then the coronavirus spread across the country and every music venue in the country shut down, causing us to cancel the tour," commented Connor O'Neal from Tejon Street Corner Thieves. "We got messages from fans saying how bummed out they were that our show had been canceled. We have a small P.A system inside our tour bus that we use while we're on the road, so we thought it would be fun to drive to a couple of fans' houses and bring the show to them. It just grew from there and we've been able to stay connected with our fans during this pandemic without actually coming into contact with them. We don't want people to come up to the bus or gather together, but they can sit and listen from their front steps. The safety of our fans is important to us, so we've told everyone to keep it limited to the people you live with and we've been only playing two songs to ensure that fans don't gather and potentially spread this virus further.”
