(Reader's Digest Version)...... .. ....I'm a native of Tuscaloosa, Alabama who fell out of med school playing in a R&B band. At first the weekend gigs were to pay for med school but med school took a backseat when my band, The Rubber Band, started touring constantly behind regional hit records.

I formed the group "Feather" with some pals who wound up being the rhythm section for Loggins and Messina. The song we had some success with was called "Friends". Eventually I joined with my now-long-time collaborator Ed Sanford with whom we formed the Sanford-Townsend Band. Together we scored the self-penned smash, "Smoke From A Distant Fire" and toured the world. Later on, in the mid 90s I would reunite with my long time friend Gregg Allman and tour as part of his band. During my time with Gregg, I cemented a relationship with my long time favorite guitar player, Danny Toler, and his drummer brother Frankie. I've played in three bands since then with Danny. Those are: The Toler/Townsend Band, The Renegades of Southern Rock and currently, The TGZ Band. Danny and I have written some pretty cool songs.
