Todd’s emotive lyrics, earthy tones and raw appeal connect to a wide variety of listeners. His songs float from intricate folk fingerpicking styles to driving rhythms that stir the soul. His stories of Australian landscapes and people are accompanied with mesmerising didgeridoo and a depth that always engages and entertains.  
Todd Cook has three studio releases; ‘So Long’ (2008), ‘Hunting Ground’ (2010) and Brilliant Green (2012). Drawing inspiration from both the lush green fields of Gippsland where he grew up, and the rich, remote areas of the Northern Territory that have become a second home. Each song reveals a meeting place for sounds, techniques and lyrics that connect north to south, remote to mainstream, and traditional to contemporary. His music takes the audience on a journey from dark turbulent songs, witnessed firsthand when Todd was living in a remote Northern Territory community, to lively acoustics of joy and celebration.
