"His music is distinctive...his guitar playing has as much power and expression as any guitarist I’ve heard in a short one minute solo....It’s just a matter of time before he gets a major label release." Putnay Thomas, Blues On Stage
"From the first note he strikes on his guitar, it's apparent that something great is happening...[Todd] plays with an almost incomprehensible intensity."-- Aiding & Abetting
About the Band
For the last fifteen years singer/songwriter/guitarist, Todd Tijerina (Tee-her-ee-na), has steadily made a living playing his unique blend of blues, funk, roots-rock and jazz. In addtion to frequent tours of the central and southwestern United States with his band, Todd has worked as guitarist for Chicago-based artists such as internationally revered bluesman, Byther Smith, the legendary Harmonica Hinds, and BB's daughter, Shirley King. Currently based in Albuquerque, NM, though originally from Chicago, the band is a former winner of Chicagoland's Rory's Blues Talent Competition (1999). This victory funded recording expenses for the group's 2000 release, The Lowdown. Since then The Todd Tijerina Band has released five more albums: Welcome Home (2004), Now(2006), Walk This Road (2009), Meant To Be (2010) and Shine On (2014) which have enjoyed radio play in the US, Australia and Europe. His song "Nothin' LIke the Blues" won the Blues Song of the Year category in the 2011 New Mexico Music Awards.
Todd has always striven to be musically unique. Rootstime (Belgium) declares that he "creates his own style and sound… His manner of guitar playing, singing and songwriting is refreshing and inspiring." The Promised Land Entertainment Magazine states "[Tijerina's] newest release is a perfect example of how to take the old and mix in the new to get a feeling of something very special." Todd's unique sound is a result of his own take on songwriting with an emphasis on maintaining potent hooks, personal identity and grooves that cross genre lines. This approach helps explain his musical contribution's relevancy to blues as an evolving art form.
The Todd Tijerina Band's unique sound and mastery over its music has enabled bookings at some of the most prestigious venues in the southwest and Chicago.

"Todd Tijerina is more ego-free soulman than six-string showboat. Not that he can't burn a fretboard with the best of `em--one spin of his new disc proves that -- but [Todd] and his band lay down a tune and a rock-solid groove well before the solo sparks fly, not the other way around. Nothing against the over-the-top likes of your Chris Duartes, but it's nice to hear a guy who puts his audience above his own stroke-fests once in awhile." Bill Frost--Senior Arts Editor--Salt Lake City Weekly
