Todd Mathis

The best-laid plans… I’d just got rolling with the new release in February and was having a blast practicing with the band. We had a few shows scheduled for April and I was looking at booking some more. But… You know the drill. It’s fine though, we’ll play again, or at least we’ll plan to. We also had a CD release party scheduled for the new Bentz Kirby record, but that was put on hold too. In the meantime, I’ve been working on music more than I have in quite a while. I’m very fortunate to be able to walk into my backyard and pick up a guitar or plink away at some keys, and I try not to waste that privilege by using the space most days. So be on the lookout for a couple new Interruptions EPs and a TM cover EP. There’s also the new Admiral Radio which I co-produced coming out this summer (it’s done!!!) and my little brother Clayton’s album that I’m still working on a bit. And who knows what else. Stay safe.

So, a lot going to start 2020.

• January 17 – release of the single “Right Side” on Spotify, Apple Music and all the other usual outlets. The single also contains a b-side not on the album entitled “David Dondero.”
• January 17 – release of the video for “Right Side” shot by Fiddle Leaf Media.
• January 31 – release of the single “Tomorrow” on Spotify, Apple Music, etc. The single also contains a stripped down b-side of the Afghan Whigs tune “Going to Town.”
• February 14 – Album releases everywhere.
• February 15 – Live show at Curiosity Coffee in Columbia, SC with Todd Mathis & His Only Friends Left and special guests The Runout.

More shows announced soon as well as some other projects I’ve been helping with including a new album from Bentz Kirby, Admiral Radio, Clayton Mathis and more!

The new full length, Learning to do the Harder Thing will be released Friday February 14. The album features 9 new originals that I’ve been working on the last couple of years. Can’t wait to share with everyone.
