A song about pushing back against the oppressors of humanity...

From the start of time mankind has had to live in two different worlds... One world controlled by Dictators, Despots, Totalitarian leaders of Communist, Socialist, & Fascist Governments... 

And the other world that is dedicated to saving humanity from them.

This Job is Taking My Life Away

This is an original tune about people who can't handle their alcohol 
There is the sloppy drunk, the blubbering drunk, the drown in your tears drunk, the happy drunk, the slutty drunk, but the one drunk nobody wants to be is the mean drunk... Instant asshole just add alcohol.

The Manticore Tapes

Song about the experience of losing loved ones who have passed away.... it's takes us from grieving and asking why, to discovering the answer, and moving onto healing knowing heaven is in better hands...

The Healing

This original song is about the difficult path to finding true contentment in life and one's self despite our flaws, failures, disappointments, and trials or tribulations.... there is no rest for the weary so perseverance founded in the inner self confidence of knowing there is reason for everything and you must never quit on yourself.... ever... even if it means going to Hell and back to get to where you were meant to be....

You Know - It'll Be Alright

Todd, His Friends, & Their Big Rock Show" is an original music project I began after many years of dedicating my vocal talents exclusively to specific bands or projects starting in the High School PNW days and soon after the L.A. So. Cal days all the way up to today.  Although every single one of those past projects were incredibly valuable experiences that I will cherish forever, ultimately, I could no longer ignore that insatiable internal desire to "break out of the box" to expand more artistically.  So in that spirit, I decided to continue making myself available to all reasonable projects.  And continue to do so to this day.  I continue to encourage my fellow musician friends interested in collaborating, to hit me up.   

Anyway, with this in mind, I began to reach out to several artists from various influences from around the United States and the songs here are the result. 

Basically, I make friends with musicians from all over the place who then provide me with their original instrumental work, and I, in turn, provide them with all the lead vocals, backing vocals, harmonies & in most cases, the lyrics. The most powerful connection we share is our desire to play for the music - not our egos. 

This has been, one of the koolest singing, writing and performing experiences in my life and I am very grateful to have made friends like this.  We hope you enjoy our artistic creations and if so, by all means, feel free to like or share at will, we appreciate the love, and you - Bless
