"One part Maria
Muldaur, one part Suzy Bogguss & one part Ella Fitzgerald, Mollie O'Brien's
voice with its seemingly limitless range is the perfect vehicle for this
eclectic set of songs. Rich Moore's crisp harmonies & guitar playing support
in all the right places. It takes serious talent to play and sing this
effortlessly."
Gretchen Peters, Songwriter
“Mollie O'Brien and
Rich Moore have produced a splendid CD. It has rich music, lyrics and gorgeous
singing. Mollie O'Brien has one of the best voices in the business and she
really lets it loose here with a clarity and power that’s tough to beat. Rich
is a magical guitarist - listen and you'll agree with me.”

THE NEW ALBUM by TODD BURGE
IMITATION LIFE
Produced By Tim O’Brien
"He's got a great talent as a writer and unique view of the world; he's invented his own art form. His songs just get better and better. This album is a real Todd de force”
Tim O’Brien (Singer-Songwriter, Grammy winner)
Written during Todd's 50th year on planet Earth, this album was originally entitled "50 Songs", but fear of false advertising nixed that one. Burge, who may be best known for his method of writing songs from the perspective of odd characters, criminals, animals and bugs, (listen to Building Characters produced by Don Dixon) has recently released an album of personal songs entitled Imitation Life (MARCH 2015). The recording was produced by long term collaborator, Tim O’Brien. O’Brien is an inductee to the WV Music Hall of Fame and 2015 Grammy winner. Recorded live with few overdubs at John Prine’s Butcher Shoppe Studios in Nashville TN, and engineered and mixed by David “Ferg” Ferguson (Johnny Cash, Del McCoury) the album captures Burge’s melodies and unique wordplay in their element.
Imitation Life features O’Brien on multiple instruments, Kathy Mattea on backing vocals and a handful of other Nashville cats* rounding out the band.
Todd belongs in the company of Peter Stampfel, Todd Snider and Paul Thorn with Roger Miller winking from beyond. Look upon his works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Larry Groce – Host of NPR’s Mountain Stage
Employing wry humor, dexterous guitar work and drawing on a rich variety of life experiences, Todd Burge has emerged as one of West Virginia's most prolific singer/songwriters. Burge, has played everything from Alternative Rock to Contemporary Folk, performing concerts at festivals and in venues as diverse as CBGB’s, The Country Music Hall of Fame, The Kennedy Center, and of course, literally hundreds of clubs including the obscure, to the world famous Caffe Lena, Club Passim and Music City Roots. He is a repeat guest on NPR's Mountain Stage and has been called the “dean of WV songwriters, the best we have”, by its host, Larry Groce. In 2014, Burge wrote 13 songs for a musical adaptation of Love’s Labour’s Lost by William Shakespeare. The show received great reviews as it was performed at Muskingum Park in Marietta Ohio, produced by Marietta College/The Colony Theatre and directed by Geoff Coward. Todd Burge resides in Parkersburg WV with his wife Lisa and their children, Will and Sophia.
