About Todd / Bio
From the Hills of a small county where the Bible belt is
tight and there are more churches than streets the voice
of Rock "n" Roll comes from a square shouldered
5 ft 10 brash and fiery songsmith and performer. Todd Geldart
was born and raised in Albert County N.B Canada and has
laid the foundation very early as to what he and his music
are all about. His music has a connection; it speaks to
and for the hard working middle class, the underdogs, the
ones who just can't seem to make life go, those who are
at constant odds with authority, and the hypocritical people
who make up our governments. From his early work with songs
like How Does It Feel and Better than That he has shown
the honest, barebones simplicity of Rock. His more recent
works take a stand of opinions, truths, and just plain human
nature. Songs like Double Parked and Blue Collar Man leave
you in total awe and when the song is over you just think
"Damn, He's got that straight." Even his big Anthem
type songs like Jerico Road, Hollywood Ending and Power
between the Lines have an interleaved message within the
big backbeat and thick rhythm guitars.
Todd worked on a farm growing up and at 14 he bought his
first guitar from Sears and Roebuck. He worked all that
summer to purchase his first guitar mostly because of his
parents dislike for rock 'n' roll and motorcycles so these
two things were to become his passions of youth and rebellion
and still are today. But what once started out as a form
of payback or teenage rebellion has turned into a craft
of which many artist's find it difficult to achieve......
simplicity, earthiness the ability to write songs that are
very identifiable on a personal level and yet artistically
satisfying and he does it time and time again.
Todd has had songs on a number of compilations albums,
performed numerous live radio and television shows and showcased
at major music events. His songs have received airplay on
a local and national level as well as being a featured songwriter
at different events. Todd has played hundreds and hundreds
of live shows, and shared stadium stages with bands such
as Nazareth and many others.
Geldart is the last of a dying breed, an entertainer who
was born to entertain not a prefab, let's do what's in,
cookie cutter type of artist. He is a songwriter not just
with something to say but with things we need to hear,
things we need and do identify with. He is a T-shirt,
blue Jeans; I don't care what style is in kind of guy.
We are in a world where most things now seem to be so
make believe and cheap, just fluff, things to entertain
us for the moment and that's all. Here is the real deal,
no gimmicks, no pretend, no artificial hype. Whether you
listen to his albums or see him live his honesty and convictions
hit you like a hammer!!!!!
