A chance encounter at Cook Children’s Medical Centre is all it
took to set Todd Barrow on his mission to revamp classic country
with his signature modern twist. One day, an American Idol
contestant was slated to perform for the patients at Todd's place
of employment, but the audio tech was nowhere to be found.
When he heard the call, “Can anybody here run sound?”
Todd
answered. In walked Texas Music Hall of Fame Honouree Sonny
Burgess just as Todd was setting up the live rig, and the two
musicians struck up a conversation. Sonny told Todd about his
work with Charlie Pride and Randy Travis, and asked Todd if he
might lend his technical skills to help build the recording studio
sponsored by Garth Brooks and Troy Aikman, he then had in the
works. This serendipitous encounter yielded a coffee meeting to
review the blueprints for the project, and before long, Sonny was
meeting Todd for coffee weekly to discuss music. Eventually, he
became his mentor, forever changing the course of Todd’s career.
Now, Todd Barrow is making a name for himself as a country artist
to watch. The Texas singer-songwriter has racked up more than a
few accolades, from a PRSA Award of Excellence to an Akademia
Award for Best Country Album, and an artist spotlight in
Alternative Roots Magazine, American Pride Magazine, and AVA
Radio. Recently, featured in Red Silk Carpet magazine as chart
topping country artist. Even performing alongside Allison Balson,
the TV star from Little House On The Prairie!
Todd has appeared
on television shows including Good Morning Texas with Jerry
Matheny and Texas Music Café on PBS. He’s even shared the
stage and studio with some of country music’s heaviest hitters,
from CMA musicians in Miranda Lambert’s band to Fort Worth
Producer of the Year Bart Rose. With 6 films under his belt, he is a
very popular actor as well.
But it’s more than just Todd’s success to date that makes him
such a compelling country artist. What’s most readily apparent in
Todd Barrow’s music is his heart.
