INTRO   tOd and the Bad Ideas are a trio based in Columbus, Ohio. We describe our sound as “bombastecoustic” (bom-bast-ee-koo-stik) rock n' roll … amplified acoustic string instruments supported with a variety of percussion … a high-energy, vintage rock n' roll approach, with a dash of three chord, punk fury. Our songs tell personal stories, and speak to lessons learned in the heart of it all, Ohio.   We released our debut CD, Kaleidoscope Mind in 2017.   BAND MEMBERS   Todd (tOd) Greer - Songwriter, Bassist and Vocalist Pete Mako - Acoustic and Electric Guitars Mark Brennan - Percussion   STORY   The trio began as a one-time collaboration for a solo acoustic set being performed by tOd. Following a highly successful show, we were inspired to continue.   Over the following year we've been fortunate to perform with a number of highly talented and popular local acts, including pre-concert shows at Value City Arena prior to the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Tom Petty, as well as multiple music showcases throughout Central and Northeast Ohio.   2018 sees us getting out in support of our album, and working on new material for our second release.   Our live shows include a good number of our original songs, as well as classic covers by such artists as The Rolling Stones, Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen and others.   CONTACT   Find us online: Website: www.todandthebadideas.com Facebook: www.facebook.com/todandthebadideas YouTube: Use keywords: tod and the bad ideas   For more information, interviews and bookings: Todd (tOd) Greer tOd@todandthebadideas.com 614.378.6159
