Big Head Todd and the Monsters- www.bigheadtodd.com

Big Head Todd and the Monster's rock/blues sounds and reputation for intense and memorable live performances have gathered devoted fans across the country. Sharing the stage and studio with music stalwarts such as John Lee Hooker, BB King, Don Henly, Neil Young, Robert Plant, Sheryl Crow, Dave Mathews, and Hootie and the Blowfish. Beginning in 1993 when the album Sister Sweetly is the eighth most played record at rock radio for the year, including the four top 10 singles “Bittersweet,” “Broken Hearted Savior,” “Circle” and “It’s Alright”, spending a record 85 weeks on Billboard’s Heatseekers chart, and going on to sell over 1.2 million records. In addition to annual tours in the states of over 60 dates a year, BHTM has multiple visits to England, Scotland, Amsterdam, and Germany including dates in 2004 with George Thorogood and The Oosterpoort Rhythm and Blues Festival in Holland. This prompting the London Times to state "American Rock doesn't get anymore classy than this." The band's latest release of "All the Love You Need" in 2008, produced by Grammy winner David Bianco (Tom Petty, Mick Jagger, AC/DC), includes the song "Blue Sky" written exclusively by request from NASA as a theme song for the Space Shuttle program. Lead man Todd Park Mohr believes the album to be the best work to date from the band's 20 years of play. The band is very devoted to its fans, in fact, they’ve logged three fan excursions, two cruises to the Caribbean and a land-lovers jaunt to Hawaii. “We play a bunch of shows, and we never play the same song twice, which we all love,” Mohr says. “...we have a blast and there’s really no better way to get to know your fans.”

Longtime BHTM fans are very familiar with the great sounds and presence of Hazel. We are very pleased that she will be joing us for the week, joining the band for some tunes, and gracing us with a few surprises. Hazel Miller is not just a great singer, "she is a force of nature!" quotes the Rocky Mountain News. Her voice has been called "stunning, moving and powerful." Hazel has been a sought after performer in Colorado for the past 23 years. Whether she is singing blues, Jazz, pop, or Gospel, her voice charges the songs with a primal dose of genuine soul. Hazel began her 36-year career in Louisville, Kentucky, where she rose to the top of the music scene. She opened for popular artists such as Mel Torme, James Brown, Temptations, Earl Klugh, Bob James and many others. Since moving to Colorado she has regularly performed with Big Head Todd and the Monsters. She was a regular performer on the ETown Radio Show, aired on NPR. She has performed at all the major jazz and music festivals throughout Colorado while maintaining a working band which won the Westword Readers Poll "Best Blues/R&B" band for three consecutive years.
