Pianist Vienna Teng had been an important part of the California singer/songwriter scene for many years A pianist since the age of five, Teng took formal lessons before moving on to improvisation Writing feverishly throughout her youth, she eventually had a full album's worth of instrumentals by the age of 16 While studying at Stanford University, she released an EP and recorded most of her acclaimed debut Waking Hour before she graduated After releasing the record independently and taking it on the road with her, she scored an agreement with Virt Records and got national distribution in the fall of 2002 Comprised of many intimate songs that detailed the issues of a young adult, her music fell between the uptempo approach of Ben Folds and the theatrical chamber pop of Rufus Wainwright She followed up in early 2004 with the matured and critically acclaimed effort Warm Strangers, which charted on three separate Billboard charts Touring with musicians like Joan Osborne, Shawn Colvin, and Patty Griffin over the years, Teng next hooked up with producer Larry Klein (Joni Mitchell, Madeleine Peyroux) for her next album, Dreaming Through the Noise, issued in July 2006 That summer, she began to tour with Duncan Sheik and continued a heavy concert schedule throughout 2007 After relocating from California to New York City in 2008, Teng began work on her fourth full-length album, Inland Territory, which was released on Zo?/Rounder in 2009
