It’s not just the most famous word every spoken*… it’s the most fun and progressive Christian Rock/Pop band ever to come out of Sebastopol, California, in the heart of Wine Country – Northern California.
TETELESTI was founded by songwriter/guitarist DON COBB in 1998. With unbridled passion for the freedom and love which comes with a close personal relationship with Jesus Christ, Don hasn’t wavered a single day on this path that the Lord has laid out for him. Don has been playing in original Rock/Pop bands since he was 14 years old, writing, recording and producing original music non-stop, all this time, and when the Lord blessed Don with the inspiration for his band TETELESTI, the music poured in and out of Don without ceasing!

“Music is just in me. God has been blessing me with original songs that just show up in my head, full blown sometimes, fully orchestrated with full band arrangements, all at once – BAM! There it is! MY job is to write it down, record it as quickly as I get it so that I don’t lose that inspiration! LOL”
Don and Estela and their band TETELESTI are currently producing 5 albums of original Rock and Pop songs, disrupted by a Stage 4 Throat Cancer diagnosis in 2012 and several other Life happenings since then. Currently with “The Love of My Life”, Estela, Don is making up for lost time, with his first single release slated for this Fall, 2019.
Don is Contemporary Music Director at the Presbyterian Church of Novato and leads both a Christian Rock band and a “not Christian” Rock band called “MOONSHINE ROAD”, both out of – you guessed it: Sebastopol, California.
TETELESTI will be plastering their new single all over the internet as soon as it’s released this Fall!
*”Tetelesti!” is the last thing Jesus Christ said before he gave up His life on the cross. An Aramaic term, Tetelesti means “It is finished!” Now you know!
What sounds like an excellent representation of Don Cobb’s musical, vocal and songwriting style and production technique and, perhaps most importantly, a genuine reflection of Don’s joyful heart and hopeful encouragement – that is what Don Cobb’s new album appears to be as it sits on the edge of the horizon, waiting to drop on an unsuspecting world.
cellphone/headphones and anywhere and everywhere you go in order to enjoy the joy and encouragement Don packs into every song!
the event with rockin’, joyful praise for what the Lord has done for all of us!
Yes – and her name is Estela and and just when I had resigned myself to the single life, God brought my sweet Estela to me… on Facebook, of all places!
I praise God for all of the humble and quiet men who walk calmly in the kingdom of God but I cannot be one of the quiet men, and I will not be quiet. The Lord calls some of us to be bold and courageous, to be anxious about nothing and I can feel the tension when I speak up about things sometimes, but unless I feel the conviction of the Holy Spirit, I keep speaking boldly, that which I believe needs to be said. Do I cross the line sometimes – of course, and I’ll delete those remarks from social media, but I refuse to stop speaking boldly about those things which I know, in my heart of hearts, truly need to be said.

Atkinson offered to produce one of my songs recently! I have a song called “You’re Mine” that both Lincoln Brewster and Brenton Brown (“Because of Your Love”, “Everlasting God” and too many more hits to list here) said they loved at a Songwriter Showcase a few years ago. I was looking for their critique and instead they said they loved it! I was floored by that!
I’ll be grateful.
