Artist History After playing guitar for four years, Todd Hoover began playing his original songs in April of 2002, and since then has played his songs at various coffeehouses, talent shows, and clubs. He's played on the same bill with such artists as Morning Tide, Sandy Hathaway, Gus Brett, Jennifer Spector, Bucket of Witches, Bruce Gamble, Renee Ernsberger, Jeremy But, Brooke McCaffrey, Second Gravity, the Love Blisters, HBC, the Caterwauls, Fallout Boy, and Blue Line Assembly. No two Todd Hoover songs sound the same, but all of his songs are trademarked by a sense of dynamics and thoughtful lyricism that let you know it's him. Right now, Todd is looking to play more gigs wherever he can in Arizona or surrounding states. He's also looking for label representation, particularly with an independent label. His only recordings on CD are the "Happy Accidents EP," a 3-song demo sampler he recorded at home by himself on his 4-track (on sale at www.cdbaby.com), and "Live at Undici Undici," which was recorded at the Mesa coffeehouse Undici Undici on July 23, 2003 and features four solo acoustic songs.
