Down
in Louisiana, when they're cooking up something in the kitchen,
they tend to throw a little bit of everything in the pot.
Applying that same homegrown creative philosophy to his life
and to his music, singer/songwriter Todd O'Neill has concocted
his own recipe for some seriously soulful, heartfelt and rockin'
country music. With a critically acclaimed debut album already
under his belt and fresh off the road from his year-long stint
as a featured cast member in the hit production, Conway Twitty:
The Man, The Myth, The Legend … The Musical, O'Neill
is re-energized, refocused and more than ready to take his
music to the next level.
Perfected
in countless honky tonks and dancehalls in the region around
his hometown of Hammond, just north of New Orleans, O'Neill's
all-inclusive country music vision embraces everything from
tear-in-your-beer ballads to flat-out country rock anthems,
wrapped up in a tall, good-looking package and delivered in
a pure-country voice. Growing up in a musical melting pot,
O'Neill was surrounded by a dizzying array of musical styles.
While
he was absorbing all of his musical influences – from
the eclectic sounds around his house to the rhythms of the
Big Easy to the south – O'Neill was busy being a typical
kid, concentrating on everything but music. But, while his
singing may have been restricted to the shower and "the
typical karaoke stuff kids do," O'Neill invariably found
other ways to express his creative soul. A self-avowed "ham,"
he was known among friends to break out in a particularly
inspired dance when the spirit(s) moved him. Hitting the dance
floor one night at a hometown club, his "Napoleon Dynamite"
moves caught the attention of guitarist Scott Feske, who was
onstage with his band, Big Cat Daddy.
For
O'Neill, that initial performance was the beginning of some
important friendships, and, though he didn't quite know it
at the time, the beginning a great career in country music.
Feske invited the young singer back, and O'Neill eventually
joined the group on the road. Armed with the 110-proof power
of their new singer's one-of-a-kind country voice and heartthrob
appeal, Big Cat Daddy quickly morphed into Todd O'Neill and
Big Cat Daddy, before the singer finally earned top billing
as a solo artist.
Boomer's
Roadhouse is located at 6650 Highland Road (M59) in Waterford
next to the Oakland County Airport.
One
lucky winner will each receive a pair of tickets to the Todd
O'Neill concert.
