Big Head Todd and The Monsters, the iconic rock band known for their infectious grooves and genre-blending sound, are thrilled to announce their 40th Anniversary Tour, culminating in a highly anticipated performance at the historic Florida Theatre on March 30th.
For four decades, Big Head Todd and The Monsters have captivated audiences with their unique blend of rock, blues, and alternative music. Their journey began in the vibrant music scene of the 1980s, and over the years, they have continued to evolve and resonate with fans across the globe. This milestone tour will celebrate the band’s remarkable career, showcasing their timeless hits, fan favorites, and new material.
In this life, very few friendships withstand the test of time. 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 even rarer for a band to stick together for the long haul. For decades, the members of Big Head Todd and The Monsters—Todd Park Mohr (vocals, guitar, keys, sax, harmonica0, Brian Nevin (drums), Rob Squires (bass, vocals), and Jeremy Lawton (keyboards, lap
pedal/steel 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 kicks out the kind of blues-drenched rock-n-roll bangers that make you want to rev the engine a little louder, sing along like no one’s looking, and live a little freer. This holds true on their 12th full-length offering, Her Way Out.
“It had been almost seven years since our last album release, but we wanted to put the same energy of Monster’s Music Monthly into a full-length,” Todd Park Mohr of Big Head Todd and The Monsters 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 connecting 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 bass, well-placed organ, keys, and lap steel. We road-tested every song 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 sense of what our individual parts should be.” In this respect, the single and title track “Her Way Out” packs a concentrated and catchy punch. Anchored by a steady beat, the rough and tumble riff kicks up dust as soulful vocals ignite an irresistible refrain, “She found her way out, her way out—and it was me.” Some of Big Head Todd and The Monsters' hits include “Bittersweet,” “Boom Boom,” and “It’s Alright.”
