Big Head Todd & The Monsters

Some bands have a moment. Big Head Todd and The Monsters have a career. For nearly four decades, Todd Park Mohr, Brian Nevin, Rob Squires, and Jeremy Lawton have been doing it their way: blues-soaked riffs, soul-forward vocals, and the kind of live show that earns you 35 headlining nights at Red Rocks. The story starts in a Colorado high school in the early eighties, three guys jamming until something clicked. By 1986 they had a name. By 1993, they had a platinum record. Sister Sweetly broke them nationally with four top 10 rock radio hits, and they never looked back. They shared stages with B.B. King, Neil Young, Robert Plant, The Allman Brothers, and Dave Matthews Band. They recorded "Boom Boom" with John Lee Hooker. They delivered a live NASA wakeup call for astronauts aboard the International Space Station. In 2023, they were inducted into the Colorado Music Hall of Fame. Their 12th album, Her Way Out, finds them as sharp and hungry as ever. Road-tested, band-approved, and built on loud guitars, big bass, and well-placed organ, it's the sound of four guys who road-tested every song before they ever stepped into the studio, who still argue about arrangements, and who still genuinely love what they do. Nearly 40 years in, and the best seat in the house is still front row. Come hear why they've earned it.
