Ted LeRoy

Hi, I’m Ted.

I’ve been the Administrative Manager for over a year. It has been quite the journey, but it is all worth it. Helping to grow this market, bringing in some excellent musicians, and working with my amazing partner MaryAnn our Operations Manager, has been quite the ride.

I may have only been A.M. for over a year, but this is my 5th year with the Market, because many of you know me already as the “SoapMan”. My wife is the owner of the Suds Shack Soap Company, and I can be seen most Saturdays manning the booth and slinging soap. At least it’s clean work.

I have lived many lives it seems, and another large group knows me as the Vocalist/Wordsmith of the original local band Defiant. This is the 10th year of being in this band, and I love it. I started performing in 4th grade. I have been an actor practically all my life. Actors take others words and bring them to life. With this band, I have found the profound blessing of being able to bring my own words, thoughts and feelings to life. So come check us out sometime, but don’t expect me to play something you know. If you want me to play something you know, learn MY song.

“Against complacency in musical mediocrity, We remain Defiant!”
