Todd Mosby & THE HEARTLAND BAND
Turn On Your Heartlight.
An adept guitarist, Todd Mosby has garnered award winning acclaim for his sophisticated, broad-minded blend of contemporary jazz, folk, new age, and North Indian raga traditions.
After four releases and national tours, he continues to explore a mix of Western, Eastern and Folk sounds. With his 2023′s Land of Enchantment, he turns his attention to the arid landscapes of America’s Southwest.
Todd Mosby & The Heartland Band presents an exciting concert everyone will enjoy. From the beauty and mystique of the Southwest to the home grown feel of the Midwest, Mosby paints a musical landscape from folk-rock to smooth jazz, samba to bossa-nova with Sergio Mendes style vocals.
The Heartland Band always leaves audiences wanting more. Re-imagined popular folk-rock songs of the 70's and original renditions of songs like By the Time I Get to Phoenix, re-connect contemporary listeners with hits of the past.
A master at presenting concerts which engage audiences at all levels, Mosby and his band of world class musicians create special moments throughout the evening which whisks audiences along on a beautiful journey. By the end of the evening, they feel transformed and changed and always wanting more.
