The Deltaz at The Domino Room

The Deltaz are a brother duo blending Americana, blues-rock, and raw sibling harmonies into a sound steeped in the heart of American roots music. Born and raised in the hills outside Los Angeles, the two spent their early years steeped in the sounds of America’s past, eventually carving out a name for themselves in Southern California’s live scene with a sound that felt both lived-in and alive.

Early on, the brothers caught the attention of legendary bassist Rick Rosas (Neil Young, Joe Walsh), who became a mentor after hearing them perform at The Old Place. His guidance helped shape their direction, and the band later dedicated a record to his memory. During that time the brothers also shared the stage and toured with alt-country standout The White Buffalo.

But in 2018, their home and studio were lost in the Woolsey Forest Fire. Everything they built went up in smoke except the music. Rather than retreat, the brothers leaned in and headed south. They relocated to Nashville in 2021, rebuilding not just their lives, but their sound. That new chapter begins with Give It All to You, a powerful 12-song record released September 2025, that draws from the deepest wells of Southern roots music while reflecting the personal transformation they’ve undergone.

Recorded live at Soil of the South Studio in Valdosta, Georgia with Grammy-winning producer Mark Neill (Charley Crockett, The Black Keys), Give It All to You is The Deltaz at their most honest and unfiltered. “This record has a completely different sound,” Ted explains. “Mark helped us tap into something raw, deeply emotional, and more rooted in the music we’ve always loved—R&B, country, and the blues.”

The album features bassist Alison Prestwood, a longtime friend and Nashville session legend, and was tracked live encouraging real-time connection and groove. It’s an album made the old-school way, side by side, heart to heart. The brothers split lead vocals throughout the record and leaned into their sibling harmonies in a whole new way. “We'd have to huddle over a mic and move our heads to get in front of the mic when it was our turn to sing” Ted remembers. “I think harmonies are a really big part of this album, too. We were playing off of each other as singers. The way that John and I sit in a groove together, too, is a way that we couldn't with somebody that wasn't a sibling.”

That tight connection extends beyond the studio. Since arriving in Tennessee, The Deltaz have become fixtures in the local scene with residencies at Dee’s Lounge and The Underdog, crowd favorites at Fox & Locke in Leiper’s Fork, and celebrated performers at the Pilgrimage Festival in Franklin. They've also deepened their ties to the Mississippi blues world, building friendships with artists like Watermelon Slim and performing multiple times at the Juke Joint Festival in Clarksdale. One invitation even brought them to Mississippi State Penitentiary in Parchman, where they performed for over a thousand inmates. “We’ve taken so much inspiration from Mississippi’s music,” Ted says. “It felt important to give something back.”

Singles from the new album like “Lovin’ Man” and “Close to Me” reflect their immersion in the South’s musical traditions, drawing inspiration from bluegrass jams and late-night dance halls. Meanwhile, tracks like “A Little Longer” and “When I Get Over You” bring emotional reflection, exploring love, loss, and longing with unflinching honesty. And “Drumonica Rag,” reaffirms their deep groove, fearless instrumental instincts featuring John on his washboard and harmonica.

For The Deltaz, music isn’t just expression, it’s survival, connection, and devotion. After years on the road, through personal upheaval and artistic growth, they’ve emerged more grounded than ever in the music that shaped them. Give It All to You is more than a record, it’s a statement of resilience, a love letter to roots music, and a new beginning for two brothers who never stopped listening to each other.
