I perform as a acoustic solo artist and also with full band. Superb music performance while entertaining guests. Singing well known songs along with well crafted originals. Create a electric atmosphere for good fun and entertainment.
Not good. Band arrived on time and played for the allotted amount of time. But they sound nothing like what they have online. Basically misrepresented themselves. Not much musical talent involved. Maybe they don’t usually play together or practice. It shows.
Response from Todd Barrow Band:
Usually a host will bring band inside when the wind is like a hurricane. We had multiple people loving the sound! She is out of her mind!!!

STRONG SONG AND DRINK
A chance encounter at Cook Children’s Medical Center 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 Honoree 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 Aikmanhe that 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 Todd’s 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. 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 compelling country artist. What’s most readily apparent in Todd Barrow’s music is his heart.
If the event is furnished with stage and sound then only need access for mics, instruments, etc.
I can provide a sound system for smaller events like around 300 people.
