Todd Mosby American HEARTLAND

A musical travelogue that tone-paints the geography and spirit of America.


American Heartland, is the second chapter in a musical travelogue that tone-paints the geography and spirit of America. “I have a lot of roots in where I grew up,” says Mosby. “Missouri is really isolated, but it’s very rich in musical history and culture.

American Heartland is a culmination of Mosby’s journey, thus far. His new concert series traverses contemporary jazz, New Age, contemporary folk, blues, solo acoustic guitar, and jazz-rock. Compositions feature lush orchestration, sultry female vocalise, with scene-setting minimalistic lyrics. “I studied poetry, and I like to use words to convey images,” Mosby says.

Those images evoke the soul of Missouri. The rolling hills, the golden fields, the star-filled skies, the lush greens, the sound of distant thunder storms, and the breathtaking sunrise over the Ozarks. Feeding the horses and cattle on his family’s farm is a ritual he immortalizes in the solo guitar piece,“On The Farm.”

Mosby’s individualistic and panoramic artistic perspective is on full display with American Heartland. “Witchi Tai” is an original musical rendition of the Native American phrase, reimagined in two parts. Part one is a New Age instrumental, and part two is driving 1970’s acoustic-rock with haunting vocalise.
