Featured Artist
22/November/2019
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, an
Akademia Award for Best Country Album, and
an artist spotlight in Alternative Roots Magazine,
American Pride Magazine and AVA Radio. He 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. But it’s more than just
Todd’s success to date that makes him such a c
ompelling country artist. What’s most readily
apparent in Todd Barrow’s music is his heart.
Todd’s music is no country for old men. While he
undoubtedly draws his sonic influence from titans
like Hank Williams and Johnny Cash, his melodies skew modern. He plays almost every instrument, from piano
to guitar, mandolin, harmonica, and drums, and the
multi-instrumentalist doubles as a songwriter for
himself as well as for other artists. “"If I can put a
smile on someone’s face through song, well that just
means the world to me,” he says. “I try to get to the
real heart and soul of a song. To me, it's not just
words but a story, and I do my best to portray that
with every line. That’s my main draw to country
music; the stories, the people, and the sincerity that
comes from the heart."
It’s precisely that heart that has won over audiences
around the world. Todd Barrow’s recent single, “The
House That Love Built”, co-written with Sonny Burgess,
was featured on RightNow TV and was honored by PRSA
Fort Worth for its fundraising efforts on behalf of the
Ronald McDonald house. Todd was featured in the lineup
for Bo’s Extravaganza festival at John Schneider’s Studio, alongside such artists as Kid Rock and Tom Wopat from
Dukes of Hazzard. He has received radio airplay from Italy Radio 6.75 for his single “Hot Southern Night”.
Todd Barrow just released his latest single, “Hell and Back,” written by longtime Nashville songwriter Lonnie Ratliff, and is hard at work on new music in the studio. Todd is a proud member of the Harry Fox Agency, the Country Music Association, the International Singer-Songwriters Association, the Texas Music Office, BMI, the Fort Worth Songwriters Association, American Music Podcasting, the NSAIDFW Songwriters Association, the Dallas Songwriters Association, the British Country Music Association and the Bayou Country Music Association.
