Tom Petty meets Jeff Buckley on a homemade license plate guitar. He is sponsored by Breedlove Guitars.
Todd's song "Just Like A Dog" was featured on the show Bellevue starring Anna Paquin.
His song "I'm Not the Same" was a finalist in the 2019 International Acoustic Music Awards.
He recently completed his new album, “I'm Not the Same." This is his 4th full length album under the name Sincerely, Iris.

After earning his bachelor’s in classical guitar from Virginia Commonwealth University, he played and toured in several sustained collaborations, including the gypsy-rock band Fool’s Errand, the space-folk band The Moonbees, and the folk duo Flicker and Flame.
