North City

I sing and accompany myself on piano and guitar (looping effects optional). My music style blends adult contemporary covers and top 40 hits with jazz standards, classics, and original compositions. The performance can fulfill a need for background music or can be more of a featured concert for the group. I am a full time musician and love my job. I pride myself in bringing the best out of every event I am part of. I come with a top of the line (QSC Speakers) sound system.

Hello, I am local performer that has been signed to several major recording contracts with songs and performances placed in movies and television. I am a looping performer (kind of a one man band) covering R&B, Pop, Soul and Classic songs from the 60's into the 2,000's. My performances create a soulful vibe that will entertain your guests, or simply provide ambient background and instrumental music as requested. Insured, professional, punctual, friendly and always grateful. Recently I have been, or will be, performing at The Crosby Club, Rancho Valencia (Rancho Santa Fe), Milagro Vineyards (Ramona), The Sheraton 7 Mile Kitchen (Carlsbad), Solterra (Cardiff), The Hop Stop (Poway), Domaine Artefact Vinyard & Winery (Escondido), Priority Public House, Tower 13, Solterra Winery, The Roxy (Encinitas / Cardiff / Leucadia), La Mesa Wine Works, Cheval Winery, Domain Artifact Winery (Escondido / Ramona), Town & Country (Mission Valley), Hanger76, Junkyard Sports Bar (Oceanside) - and more (please see my reviews). With several decades of experience performing and recording music and having been signed to major recording contracts two different times, I have been fortunate enough to play music professionally. For solo performances, I use guitar modeling and a looper pedal and everything is completely controllable with a volume knob. Essentially I am a one man band that can go from whisper quiet to more lively for whatever is requested. Bio: In addition to my solo performances and playing with several local cover bands, I perform the role of Keith Richards in three different well known southern California Rolling Stones tribute bands: Satisfaction, The Hollywood Stones and The Ultimate Stones. I have been signed to Atco/Atlantic and Vineyard Records and was a founding member of "Outlaw Blood" Atco/Atlantic Records and "The Voices" MCA Records (I co-wrote 5 songs on this album). My songs and performances have also appeared on HBO, The Discovery Channel, MTV, CMT, A&E, Oprah, RuPaul and more. I also co-wrote, produced and performed 7 songs (including the opening and closing songs) appearing in the 2014 movie "The Identical" (wide released in over 5,000 theaters nationwide) - starring Ray Liotta, Ashley Judd and Seth Green.

My name is Todd, and I write and perform warm, stripped down, folk rock/pop music. The covers that I perform are similar to the style of music I write (see sample list of recent covers below). Since I have plenty of originals and covers to choose from, I try to keep my setlists open in order to adapt to my audience, in the moment. I often blend popular covers into my original songs, so that I can pay homage to my influences. I love to perform to crowds of all ages, and try to interact with folks whenever the opportunity presents itself. Upbeat, fun, and groovy is the vibe I aim for.... keeping those toes tapping!
