Todd O'Neil Band - "Down
in Louisiana, when they're cooking up something in the kitchen, they
tend to throw a little bit of everything in the pot. Applying that same
homegrown creative philosophy to his life and to his music,
singer/songwriter Todd O'Neill has concocted his own recipe for some
seriously soulful, heartfelt and rockin' country music.
Perfected
in countless honky tonks and dance halls in the region around his
hometown of Hammond, just north of New Orleans, O'Neill's all-inclusive
country music vision embraces everything from tear-in-your-beer ballads
to flat-out country rock anthems, wrapped up in a tall, good looking
package and delivered in a pure-country voice that sounds at once
instantly familiar and like nobody you've heard before."
