 What do a couple of IBM-ers, an orthodontist, a former roadie for Prince, and a handsome young fellow with actual talent have in common? Not a thing. Somehow they started playing music together in Krumville NY.
Folk, rock, blues, a bit of country, and an occasional polka, this band defies strict definition. In fact, they prefer Webster's Dictionary version: "Band: a flat, thin strip or loop of material put around something, typically to hold it together or to decorate it."

In the company of four longstanding musical cohorts, Todd has assembled a repertoire of 10 songs, culled from the Great American Songbook and popular songs.
Bassist Jennifer Vincent and drummer David Berger have been playing with Todd since the early 1990s (all three were original members of the successful ‘90s band, The Flying Neutrinos); while pianist Matt Ray and guitarist Pete Smith have been performing with Todd since 2000. Together, they artfully and lovingly developed each piece like an assortment of delicious dishes combined together for a cohesive feast. As Todd explains, "each tune is an exercise in doing things in a different way." Unabashed swing is definitely a consistent mood throughout the CD.
$10 admission
