Songwriter Night with Todd Burge
Saturday, June 26, 2010 7:00 PM
"Todd Burge's music and personality will grow on you. He draws from the same muse as John Hartford and Roger Miller, but there's something else in there that keeps it all Todd, all the time. The songs make me laugh and then think, and then laugh and think again." Tim O'Brien - 2006 Grammy Winner, fine picker, swell human ..
"Around this state he’s probably the ’dean’ of all the singer/songwriters.
The finest singer & songwriter that we have. The hardest thing for a
singer/songwriter is to distinguish yourself to be original,
because there are so many,
I mean there are thousands of them out there and
Todd has that quality. His music is unmistakable.
You hear both his voice and the way he constructs songs,
the way he rhymes things, what he writes about,
all those things are unique. I don’t know anybody
else who does it like Todd does. There are some people
who fall into traditions and you can say they sound pretty
much like this person, but Todd doesn’t sound like anybody
and that’s what I like the most about him, is the originality."
...Larry Groce, Host of PBS’s Mountain Stage
