TODD CAREY:
ABOUT TODD CAREYThis Chicago born, guitar slinging songwriter hit the top forty iTunes charts with his 2010 EP release "After the Morning After". "Todd Carey not only attracts your attention, he holds it...Carey's music is filled with class, style and the occasional electric guitar that strokes the listeners' curiosity level making it an easy decision to want to hear more."

Produced by Mikal Blue (Colbie Caillat, Five for Fighting) The new "After The Morning After" EP "kind of runs the course of a relationship," Todd describes. "My last record was about the birth and the bright-eyed newness of a relationship, but this group of songs is more diverse."

Todd knows the touring routine well, as he crisscrossed the country, playing over 250 shows, selling out hometown shows in Chicago and Wisconsin, and became a fixture on the college circuit while promoting "Watching Waiting" released through Universal's Independent Distro (Fontana)
