SUMMARY:Big Head Todd and the Monsters
DESCRIPTION:In this life\, very few friendships withstand the test of tim
 e. Naturally\, people go their separate ways and chase their own dreams.
  As rare as it may be for friendships to last a lifetime\, it might be e
 ven rarer for a band to stick together for the long haul. For close to f
 our decades\, the members of Big Head Todd and The Monsters—Todd Park Mo
 hr [vocals\, guitar\, keys\, sax\, harmonica]\, Brian Nevin [drums]\, Ro
 b Squires [bass\, vocals]\, and Jeremy Lawton [keyboards\, lap pedal/ste
 el guitar\, vocals]—have continued to both throw down in the studio and 
 light up stages worldwide. Rallying around a core vision\, the platinum-
 selling Colorado quartet kick out the kind of blues-drenched rock ‘n’ ro
 ll bangers that make you want to rev the engine a little louder\, sing a
 long like no one’s looking\, and live a little freer. This holds true on
  their 12th full-length offering\, Her Way Out. “To me\, my band means f
 our people who listen to each other\, work hard\, and share a goal\,” To
 dd observes. “The goal has to do with reaching out to people\, catching 
 their ears\, and sharing a story we hope they relate to. Our fans have g
 iven us an incredible 40-year career\, and we hope they’ve gotten great 
 songs and performances in return.” They’ve most definitely delivered on 
 both fronts… As the story goes\, Todd\, Brian\, and Rob unlocked their m
 usical partnership during high school when they started jamming in the e
 arly eighties. Fast forward to 1986\, they adopted the moniker Big Head 
 Todd and The Monsters. BHTM released 2 successful independent records on
  their own BIG Records\, Another Mayberry (1989) and Midnight Radio (199
 0) before drawing the attention of music industry titans and signing wit
 h Irving Azoff\, Chuck Morris\, and Frank Barsalona in 1992. They broke 
 nationally with the platinum-certified staple Sister Sweetly (1993) whic
 h yielded four top 10 rock radio hits. They continued to progress with S
 trategem [1994] and Beautiful World [1997] which yielded several more ro
 ck radio hits including Boom Boom featuring John Lee Hooker. The band is
  continually touring and recording and has continued to put out albums t
 hat have received critical acclaim from both fans and press. Among other
  milestones\, their music literally reached the heavens when they played
  “Blue Sky” live at NASA Mission Control\, delivering a celestial wakeup
  for astronauts aboard the International Space Station. They’ve toured a
 nd recorded with many rock and blues legends including B.B. King\, Neil 
 Young\, The Allman Brothers\, Hubert Sumlin\, David “Honeyboy” Edwards\,
  Dave Matthews Band\, The Eagles and their personal favorite Robert Plan
 t. Not to mention\, they attained hometown hero status by headlining Red
  Rocks Amphitheatre 35 times in addition to earning induction into the C
 olorado Music Hall of Fame in 2023. Her Way Out came to life organically
 . For two years\, they hosted “Monster’s Music Monthly\, ” serving up ei
 ther a new song or a new version of a classic online. Working out of Jer
 emy’s home studio\, they parlayed this momentum into their latest LP. “I
 t had been almost seven years since our last album release\, but we want
 ed to put the same energy of ‘Monster’s Music Monthly’ into a full-lengt
 h\,” Todd notes. “We have a very distinct personality as a band. I write
  to the sensibilities of each member\, because they’re going to have to 
 dig playing it. We’re a benevolent democracy. If one guy isn’t connectin
 g with a certain song\, that song is out. As an uncomplicated rock band\
 , we like to do things that are ‘proper’ —loud guitars\, drums\, big bas
 s\, and well-placed organ\, keys\, and lap steel. We road-tested every s
 ong on the record before recording a lick. All of that helped us dial in
  the arrangements\, ditch tunes that didn’t work\, and grow a strong sen
 se of what our individual parts should be.”\n\nTickets: https://www.axs.
