Todd Snider | Never Met a Story(teller) I didn't like

Americana Podcast

Storytelling is as old as communal language itself and songwriters are an extension of the great tradition of sharing experience through words... And Americana music is as loyal to that part of our history as it is dedicated to continuing to share those experiences between artists and listeners.

Possibly one of the most talented of those writers working now is Todd Snider. Originally born in Portland, Oregon snider hopped around from place to place at a young age before finally landing in Austin, Texas. After seeing the late Jerry Jeff Walker play, Snider was inspired to also take up music full time.

Since then, Snider has created his own unique space within music- developing simple but striking musical arrangements that are punctuated with poignant lyrics. Words and stories that’ll either make you laugh, cry or just think really critically about your place in the world. Writing everything from experiences with drug use, life on the road, to the great American protest song- Todd Snider really is one of the best representations of exceptional storytelling in music.
