“I’m finally feeling like I’m right where I’m supposed to be,” says Teddy Grossman, and the forthright, ever-soulful singer-songwriter speaks like a man who has been down many paths, only to arrive back definitively where he’s forever belonged. That’s because after a decade of his own music career playing second fiddle to the life of a traveling salesman, Grossman picked up everything and moved to Los Angeles, where he began recording his highly-anticipated full-length solo debut, Soon Come. Eventually, leaving behind his job and former life along the way. 
 The result is a refreshingly honest, fully-honed Americana-Soul classic, calling to mind Grossman’s heros: the soulful roots of The Band, vocal stylings of Otis Redding and Stevie Wonder, and the simplicity and charm of Bill Withers and John Prine. This steady perseverance of Grossman’s goes a long way in explaining why the multi-talented artist has finally arrived at this moment, his moment, which comes pouring forth via his cerebral and sublimely centered songs— the sort that speak to years of hard-won wisdom and, well, maybe a bit of luck.
