- Every Tuesday, after you get done dancing the night away at Honky Tonk Tuesday on Gallatin Pike in Nashville, Todd Day Wait hosts his own little party across the street at the Underdog, an awesome local dive. One day, before the after party began, we hit up the empty bar to record with Todd and Kristina Murray. We also did a recording of her there that folks have been loving; • Kristina Murray, "Just... .
We're currently in the process of helping Todd upload his songs to streaming platforms. You can stream his GemOnVHS field recording of his song "Heart Over Mind" on Spotify at open.spotify.com/track/7AyVjA.... You can find him on Instagram at @tdwpigpen. Big thanks to our Patreon supporters for making it possible for us to help folks like Todd get their music to the masses. Soooo many folks have asked him to do this, but as a full time musician and not a techno-bro, he doesn't really know how or have the bandwidth to do it. He has us as friends tho, so we did it!
He is on tour in Europe right now, spending time in his favorite place on Earth, up in Italy. Go catch a show, you can find more of them here; tdwpigpen.com/events.
Our undying love and gratitude go to our executive producers for making this project possible: Brad Sirois, Mitchell Davis, Keith McQuillan, David Jameson, Lisa Galvan, Irvin Maddox, Josh Collins, Brady Jones, Julie Nestoroff, VJ Arizpe.
Consider becoming a Patreon contributor to help sustain this project. For the price of a cup of coffee every month, you let us continue finding and filming amazing artists.

Its a Classic... Beautiful tune guys. Yeeeeh haaaw! 🤙
Saw him live opening for nick shoulders after being a fan for many years. Very sweet and humble guy. Wishing him all the best with wherever he wants to go.
Todd day wait should be the biggest name in country music
Reason #89 why I want to move to Nashville. Great song, great music/musicians, in a low low-key venue.
He's definetly one of the guys who need to expand their plattforms to like, spotify & bandcamp. Very underrated. I know its all corporate bullshit, but showing up in some playlists definetly wont hurt. He had a stop in my town, sadly it got cancelled :(
Not every one needs to be famous
@@Profitocracy- oh i agree. I just think it would be neat if talented artists get something back for what they offer.
Learning myself a low G uku mostly play bluegrass but this has me missing my gramma he could kill anything with string never got to teach me tho... so thank you for feelings an memory’s amen
Love this man!
Met Todd a few weeks ago at one of his shows in Germany. Not only is he a great songwriter, singer, and guitarist, but he's a real gentleman as well. He's like a cross between Hank Williams and Willie Nelson.
Just saw this gentleman last night in KC with the Deslondes. I wanted to go when I heard the Deslondes were playing, but I absolutely had to go once I heard Todd Day Wait was gonna be there, and he did not disappoint. Thanks again for sharing your great music with all of us, cant wait for your new album next year.
Good one!
Gems you never miss man thanks for another banger
Appreciate that
Beautiful lyrics and performance. Your voices and guitars compliment each other .💚
One of the best voices in the game! 💯
All night long baby!
Not just half the night by god
It was a Pleasure to meet him in Cologne. Great and sympathetic Artist.
I absolutely love TDW. After last night, being a horrible night, it was great to wake up to this
i see Todd Day Wait, i click!!
So good.
His talent is, dare I say it, beyond this. He got the voice and skills to go far beyond a featured video.
so true man. i hope he goes platinum and gets as big as kenny chesney one day.
@@GemsOnVHS Hey, did I see him in Sierra Ferrell's Silver Dollar video? That's his guitar, and I've seen it in other videos as well. Love that for him.
Awesome...the two of you kick an old school...love it...never stop..thank you )
Fabulous. Really paints a picture.
Can't stop playing this song
Great tune, thanks!
Fantastic sound as always. Thanks Todd and company.
Easily a top 10 artist of mine. 🤝🏼

[Chorus]
Reuben you can play your banjo
All night long
I've been waiting all your life
Just to hear you sing your songs
Reuben you can play your banjo
All night long
I'll be sitting around that fire
Just in case we get to sing along
[Verse 1]
I was just 16 when I had a dream
Bout playing on my dad's banjo
I picked it up and made a sound
Couldn't let that darn thing go
It just felt so good, I knew I could
Keep playing, let my feelings go
I just hit them strings and let em ring
I was playing on that old banjo
[Chorus]
Reuben you can play your banjo
All night long
I've been waiting all your life
Just to hear you sing your songs
Reuben you can play your banjo
All night long
I'll be sitting around that fire
Just in case we get to sing along
[Verse 2]
Greatest friend I ever found, happy or down
Play and let my feelings go
Was like an earnest friend that stays til the end
That helped out when things got slow
Don't had to put it down, gotta make a new sound
Take it to a friend to show
To play it loud and clear, they can surely hear
Me playing on that old banjo
[Chorus]
Reuben you can play your banjo
All night long
I've been waiting all your life
Just to hear you sing your songs
Reuben you can play your banjo
All night long
I'll be sitting around that fire
Just in case we get to sing
Just in case we get to sing
Just in case we get to sing along
damn why so?!
On the contrary: He'll be playing at the Auster Bar next thursday.
@@marcwilliams1551 hell yeah, just saw it! I'll be there 100%
@@cedarriver Sure thing, me too!
Todd! Where you been, son?! I saw your show in STL last October, when you opened for Nick Shoulders, It was great. You spoke to me about an album, I'm keeping a lookout for it, as I've been discouraged by the lack of old-school Country singing ability by a lot of the newer artists. YOU'VE GOT THE GIFT! I'll be listening to my old Country records and my TDW 45 until that album drops 🤞 This song is pure gold BTW. Whoever isn't signing you is fuckin' up on a large scale IMHO. 🤘🤠🪕
Also, Kristina Murray is so damn good 🔥
i agree. he is working on getting that album done. just a bit more to go.
Do I see a young David Crosby? Great music.
Play your banjo!
TDW with the slappers
Ok, now i want to buy me a banjo...to play all night long
I just bought a $75 pos - but I'll tell you Ive never had more fun the last month or so plucking on it
you can
I'd listen to it in a minor key!
next time
@@GemsOnVHS Heck, I'd listen to Mr. Wait sing it in any key!
