Todd Helvig - Songwriter, Singer & Guitarist
Without a fancy-schmancy writer to pen my life, I'm inking this bio as I go. But hey, aren't we all? I thought I'd start by telling you a bit about myself. Like a lot of musicians, I have a day job to pay the bills. Well, honestly I actually really love my day job, but I certainly use it as a catalyst for my angsty music as well. So to make time for tunes I harvest the wee hours and greedily spend them as a singer/songwriter. Looking back, I think I picked up the guitar some 20 years ago just so I'd have something with which to sing. After learning tons of covers by a variety of folks, I started putting my own thoughts to melody. Over the years I've enjoyed many styles of music, but my ear certainly leans towards alternative, progressive, and indie rock. I love new sounds, new song configurations, and fresh lyrical ideas. I've been performing in Colorado since I moved here in 1999. Three bands and two solo stints later, Burn Sun Burn has come about as my favorite project yet. There's no BSB music posted here yet, but you can twist your ear around the sounds of past solo works and Edge of the World renditions. Patiently check back here 'n again for the birth of this new project. My friends, you wont be disappointed. I hope you enjoy what you hear on this website, become a fan (aka join the email list at top/right), and make it out to a set!
If you've got a sec, you can also check out some other sites and hear even more music (lucky you!). You'll find prior recordings of mine at www.cdbaby.com/all/tmhelvig. You can find much of my music at amazon.com, walmart, itunes, rhapsody, napster...and a host of other well known places. Just google "Todd Helvig" and hit the site of your choice. Better yet, get to a gig, join our friends, and pick up a disc or tee at your leisure. Join my Facebook friends (listed as Todd Helvig) today.
