Album Notes

Todd Woodward has been immersed in music since he was a kid and he’s loved every second of it. It all began with his lip-synched performances of old-soul classics, which was fun for a while, until he discovered his voice.
At the age of thirteen, he was writing and performing songs. In 1992, Marc Friedman (of the Slip) asked Woodward to join his group, Gaylen Groove, and so, at fifteen, Woodward was in his first gigging band. They played in and around Southeastern Massachusetts for a couple of years until graduation, then it was on to college.
Woodward moved to Boulder, Colorado where he formed Ordinary K, whose sound struck a chord with a mix of music lover’s from jamband to hip-hop fans. In their sophomore year, Ordinary K was headlining the legendary Fox Theater. Within five year’s OK had toured nationally, opening for Jimmy Cliff, Rahzel (of the Roots), Blackalicious, Doug E. Fresh, and Soulive, with Woodward, himself, being a guest performer for Ron Miles, the Samples, and Ozomatli. Their debut album "Sidebyeach,” garnered them with radio play, appearances on compilation discs, and movies such as Warren Miller's ski epic "The Storm” and Pedro Carjaval’s documentary “POPaganda: The Life and Crimes of Ron English".
Woodward's debut solo album “Paradise” was self-released to rave reviews in February of 2006 and along with producer Pat Lee, Woodward has managed to create a beautifully woven, cohesive body of work that captures his portrait like a Kodak. Matthew Burke, of the Boston Phoenix wrote - "Paradise is the best album of 2006".
Although he is an established painter and tattoo artist, I think it's safe to say that music is Todd Woodward's livelihood and after all these years he’s earned the right to be considered a seasoned veteran. As put by Woodward himself, “It’s not all been a success, but that’s what makes it feel so good when it is.” And with that being said, when we look and listen to what Todd Woodward has contributed to the world's of music and art, we can only assume he must feel really good.
There is no end in sight for this accomplished rising star, so look out, as he is poised to be a smash sensation with his inspiring song writing and stunning performances.
