With over sixty shows played and a new album, this year has been a win for Big Head Todd and the Monsters. Their fans are loyal and very laid back. The show at House of Blues in Dallas on Nov. 18 drew a diverse crowd, which allowed for great people watching and an easy time to enjoy the music.

The show started with the fast-paced "Cashbox," heavy on the electric guitar and drums. Todd Park Mohr (guitar, harmonica and lead vocals) had the chance to let his guitar skills shine in every single song of the night. He gave each of the guitars he used its own voice. The musicianship that night was quite impressive. The audience's appreciation was evident by the shouts of approval that filled the hall, blending with the riffs and harmonies coming from the stage.

Late last Winter, a friend of mine played "Love Betsy" on his guitar. I thought it was the saddest, most beautiful song I had heard in a while. It was the first time I'd heard of Big Head Todd and the Monsters.

I didn't think that by the end of the Summer I'd be at one of their shows, hoping to hear that song when BHTM played a set at Crossroads KC on Friday, Aug. 27. They didn’t play it, but the concert was still awesome.
