I got my layout at Cleanupmyspace.com Todd Kessler has not let early recognition alter his course
in pursuit of his passion. In 2005 Kessler found himself as
a finalist in VH1's Song of the Year Contest. Only to be
acknowledged a year later by the web based reality
show, “Prom Queen” which featured his song “Conversations
in Gray.”
Todd Kessler is a Singer/Songwriter whose passion for
what he does comes out in every performance he gives.
His lyrics are insightful commentary on ourselves as people
and our self as a society. With influences such as Bob
Dylan, Bob Marley, along with more contemporary influences
like Ryan Adams, Ray LaMontagne, M. Ward, and David Gray,
Todd's music is subtle in his arrangements yet powerful
in his delivery.
Kessler has released two EP's in the past year, 2007's "The Veronika EP" and 2008's "Boomerang," in which he played a near capacity CD release show at the Double Door, one of Chicago's premier venues. Todd's debut album, "We Are The Musicmakers" was released in July of 2006 and is currently available on iTunes and CDbaby.com.. Based out of Chicago, Todd has toured throughout parts
of the Midwest as well as shows in New York City, San
Francisco, and the famed Kibitz Room at Canter's Deli in
Los Angeles.
"Todd Kessler is a modern Folk singersongwriter
who addresses timeless social and
spiritual issues. Fans will adore his music for
years to come."
- Greg Magers [3-time Grammy nominated
Engineer/Producer, Chicago, IL]
"If you are looking for some new and differet tunes, you should definitely give Chicago based singer/songwriter Todd Kessler a listen! His mix of pop-country-melodramatic melodies and melancholy, yet catchy lyrics gives faith to those that are lost in love or going through heartache. "

“Todd Kessler's music is as full-bodied as
any electric-heavy band out there.”

Todd, to be honest, I never realized how good your music is... just listened to a few songs. You know Pete Manhart right? His band's starting to make some more noise. Not sure if you've guys have networked before, of if you even think it would be good with two different styles, but it would be fun to see you guys in a show together some day. He just had a big showing at Wise Fool Pub on friday night
CONGRATS!!!!!!!! I am so happy for you two! Tell Putchie I said congrats! Yeah! You know Davey is moving here soon, and we will be in the city in June! We must all go out and celebrate! Sound good?
