Todd Snider Get Together

Formed out of deep love for Todd, we bring together a band of well-known Chicago musicians- Ernie Hendrickson, Gerald Dowd, Adam Gardner, and Brian Wilkie, plus Dave Zollo from Iowa, who played with Todd himself in The Nervous Wrecks and later projects, to celebrate the songs and legacy of the legendary troubadour on what would have been his 60th birthday weekend. We will be digging deep into Todd’s extensive catalog, from every era to bring you a heartfelt night of music from our gonzo stoner folk hero, gone way too soon. Let’s do this once more, just like old times, for Todd. read more read less
