My first guitar!
I started playing guitar at an early age. My grandmother bought me my first guitar and started me on guitar lessons.
​
I gave up the guitar for a few years and switched to trumpet where I developed a lifelong love for horn-based funk and soul. Play me some Tower of Power, Chicago, or Blood Sweat & Tears!
​
At that time I also fell in love with jazz and that carried over to my guitar playing. I eventually switched back to guitar, forever.
​
As I grew in my musical journey, I discovered that I really enjoyed the musical experience, the "dialogue" between guitarist and singer. That relationship, during a song, can be powerful and intimate. My happy place.
Todd produced a show that was varied, musically brilliant,
and absolutely delightful from the
first note to the last.
​Stylishly original, clean, and highly skilled, It is never flashy or showy, but always the perfect accompaniment to the song or the musical moment. This is a type of virtuosity in which a lot of the more famous virtuosi will sometimes fall short.
