Todd Snider

Vocalist/songwriter Todd Snider initial garnered interest for his timely alt-rock satire “Talkin’ Seattle Grunge Rock and roll Blues,” a folk-rock tune that struck a chord with younger people sick and tired of angry alternative rock and roll bands, and at exactly the same time, appealed to aging rockers who have grew up using the folk revival from the 1960s. Snider was created in Portland, Oregon, and was raised in Santa Rosa, Austin, Houston, and Atlanta. After shifting to Memphis within the middle-’80s and building residency at an area club called the Daily Globe, he was uncovered by vocalist/songwriter Keith Sykes, an associate of Jimmy Buffett’s Coral Reefer Music group.

Snider’s debut record, Tracks for the Daily Globe, premiered in nov 1994; “Talkin’ Seattle Grunge Rock and roll Blues” was put into the record as an afterthought just after extreme lobbying by way of a Canadian music critic, and eventually became a strike. On his second work, 1996’s Step Best Up, Snider and his music group, the Nervous Wrecks (made up of business lead guitarist and multi-instrumentalist Will Kimbrough, bassist Joe Mariencheck, drummer Joe McLeary, and keyboardist David Zollo), continuing mixing bluegrass, blues, folk-rock, and country-rock to forge their very own distinctive audio. On his third record, 1998’s Viva Satellite television, Snider got a Tom Petty strategy, replacing a lot of his acoustic set up with twang-drenched guitar. In 2000, he agreed upon to John Prine’s Oh Boy label and came back to his vocalist/songwriter root base with Pleased to End up being Here. He documented three more information for the label, 2002’s New Connection, 2003’s Near Truths and RESORT ROOMS Live, and 2004’s East Nashville Skyline. WHICH WAS Me: THE VERY BEST of Todd Snider 1994-1998 premiered on Hip-O in 2005, and another year Snider’s 8th record, Devil YOU UNDERSTAND, arrived. In 2008, Snider released the politically billed Peacefulness Queer, an eight-song assortment of anti-war tracks as filtered through Snider’s personal wit and amiable pathos.
