Band Bio:
Todd's emotive lyrics, earthy tones and raw appeal connect to a wide variety of listeners. His songs float from intricate folk finger picking styles to driving rhythms that stir the soul. His stories of Australian landscapes and people are accompanied by mesmerising instrumentation and a depth that constantly engages and entertains.

Todd Cook has five studio releases; ‘So Long’ (2008), ‘Hunting Ground’ (2010),Brilliant Green(2012), The Silent Boat (2018) and Salt of the Earth (2022). Drawing inspiration from both the lush green fields of Gippsland where he grew up, and the rich, remote areas of the Northern Territory and recently the ancient streets of Edinburgh. Each song reveals a meeting place for sounds, techniques and lyrics that connect north to south, remote to mainstream, and traditional to contemporary. His music takes the audience on a journey from dark turbulent songs, witnessed first-hand when Todd was living in a remote Northern Territory community, to lively acoustics of joy and celebration.
