"Todd Burge's music and personality will grow on you.
He draws from the same muse as John Hartford and Roger Miller,
but there's something else in there that keeps it all Todd, all the time.
The songs make me laugh and then think, and then laugh and think again."
Tim O'Brien - 2006 Grammy Winner, fine picker, swell human

"Around this state he’s probably the ’dean’ of all the singer/songwriters.
The finest singer & songwriter that we have.
The hardest thing for a singer/songwriter is to distinguish yourself to be original,
because there are so many, I mean there are thousands of them
out there and Todd has that quality.
His music is unmistakable.
You hear both his voice and the way
he constructs songs, the way he rhymes things,
what he writes about, all those things are unique. I don’t know anybody
else who does it like Todd does. There are some people
who fall into traditions
and you can say they sound pretty much
like this person, but Todd doesn’t sound like anybody
and that’s what I like the most about him, is the originality." Larry Groce, Host of PBS’s Mountain Stage

Hadn't been by for a while so thought I'd settle in and give an ear for a spell. Once again I'm so impressed by your artistry, Todd. From your rich voice to your literate playful yet heartfelt lyrics, to the overall architecture of your songs you've got some really strong medicine in the cabinet. The best to you & keep on keepin' on.
