专辑简介

Todd Smith is a rock and blues acoustic songwriter who was born in the small town of Picayune, MS. He began writing his own music one evening in the Winter of 2006. Todd needed a therapy for all the emotions he felt that could only come from putting his feelings out in the form of songs. He began to write songs that could show his pain or his happiness. For those who feel the same emotions, Todd's writing has always been a place to relate to and not feel alone.

Todd began drawing influences early from artists like John Mayer, Chris Carrabba of Dashboard Confessional, and Buddy Guy. He also was a roadie for the Foulon Brothers Band as he began booking small venues all around the South, performing his originals and covers. In 2007 Todd came out with his first Album, Short Drives and Long Goodbyes, under the Todd Smith Band. Best known for “Kings and Queens” and “Maybe”.

Todd Smith’s debut EP in 2012 is Your Friends and Mine. This EP is special to Todd because he has the opportunity to work with the extraordinarily talented harmonica player Dr. Paul Linden. Dr. Linden has shared the stage with blues icons like BB King and Buddy Guy. The EP was recorded at Mayors Mansion in Petal, MS. Todd and Dr. Linden decided to play live in the studio with the use of several specialty microphones instead of recording track over track because they did not want to lose the “energy” created when playing together at once. The EP also includes an acoustic rendition of the Ray Charles classic, Hallelujah I Love Her So. The songs on Your Friends and Mine are intended to take the listener through a range of emotions, thoughts, and ultimately reach the heart. With Your Friends and Mine you will want to relive the moment of these songs again and again.
