Why play in a Foreigner Tribute Band?
“Because I get to play with all the talented musicians in Urgent-Tribute to Foreigner they are such great guys it’s really a privilege to share the stage with each of them. We’ve all known each other a long time and have played together in other projects so we are  a very close knit family and these guys are among my best friends. Also the songs are so iconic it’s really an honor to play these songs that are part of the soundtrack to so many lives including my own.”

In his free time Todd loves traveling the globe, attending concerts, driving his classic Corvette, recording in his home studio and  maintaining his home in the country and spending time with his favorite people.

Todd’s plays Ludwig Drums and Paiste Cymbals because iconic music deserves to be played on iconic instruments!
