Mike Tod

Mike Tod sings with conviction and candor in a wry and raspy tenor. The roots of well-worn traditional tunes from another time are researched and shared, with a foot firmly planted in the present. He forges old-time songs into historical epics, conjuring visions of western portraits and weathered landscapes.

Over the past decade, the nomadic singer has earned his voice the old-fashioned way. He’s grazed on the origins of old-time music and studied deep into the history behind the songs. He’s worked on ranches and sheep farms and travelled North America.
