Todd Day Wait, "I just don't know who to blame," // GemsOnVHS™

- Todd was a mystery to me when I showed up one fall day in New Orleans. I just wanted to find the talent, and everyone pointed me in the same direction. I instantly found myself right at home hanging with the down to earth, Mark Twain's mustache looking ass Todd Day Wait. I must've looked like a crazy person, showing up with my 1999 Sony Handycam, claiming to have a RUclips channel and wanting to document great talent. After band practice, the band dipped, but the ever terminally chill Nikolai (whom you may recognize from Chris Ackers band!) stayed around to film this video with Todd. His vocal stylings have that old-school honky tonkin' appeal I love, like a young Lefty Frizzell. I hope you all appreciate the talent.
Apparently, this November, Todd's lung spontaneously collapsed and he had to operated on. It came as a shock to everyone, the doctors say he's lucky to have survived. He's recovering alright we think, but one of the perks of being a musician in America is rarely having health insurance. Mutual pal Jon Hatchett started him a GoFundMe to help Todd while he's recovering. Check it out and throw him a dollar! www.gofundme.c...
You can find Todd on his website, and just about anywhere on the internet. He's a hard working musician, touring all over the US and Europe.

This man has nailed that nostalgic old county music feeling like I've never heard before.
Hope to see more of Todd in the future, extremely talented guy with a deeply classic sound
This is my favorite music channel.
Colin Hanrath Mine too Colin
40 seconds in and he's got a fan for life. His or mine. So glad people are saving country. It was sad to see and hear the sanitising of a beautiful honest form of music. Washing the soul out to please widget counter's
Somebody's been listening to Hank and Left,I love it!
Left?
Todd said he's recovering. My man always keeping it 60/50!
recovering from what??
What does that mean?
@@stevenandsowon keeping 60/50?
@@looking4afix yeah
@@stevenandsowon it's a thing Todd says, which is something like doing better than average. 60/50, like 11/10
This is the only guy I've heard that can replicate another time in country music. Well done my friend.
Just keep it 60/50! Love it!
Something makes me really happy seeing guys sing sad songs with a smile on there face.
Hope youre doin better todd. We'll all be keepin 60/50 for ya brotha
Really cool how a lot of young people are bringing back the old school country type music. It’s like a whole generation of this music coming in...
Need a proper recording of this on Spotify/iTunes!
Love this guys music! I wouldn’t even know who he was if it wasn’t for you! Thank you ✌🏻
that steel player should get some sort of award. he makes it sound like a pedal steel!
You do a wonderful job recording all these artists and not ruining the audio with over the top lashings of post-production reverb. I love that you retain the atmosphere of the room untouched and therefore it sounds correct and professional.
I have always been a big Jim Croce fan. Recently listening to Tod, and watching his mannerisms, I have noticed a similarity between the two.. I cannot put my finger exactly on what it that similarity is, but I feel it nonetheless.
Totally love Tod. I hope he recovers swiftly.
@YesSirNoMam Your point?
A bit crowded and messy sounding in a spot maybe?
Still, at least you hear what you see without anything else.
Ya know I love the sound of a steel guitar. This was enjoyable. Reminds me of when I was younger and on Saturday we all went to a friend's house and he had a jam with friends and we all drank too much. The entire time his cat demanded attention from random people.
I live near New Orleans. My wife and I use to go all the time for the music and food. The French Quarter has change greatly since Katrina. Now it is mainly tee shirt shops and condos. Where can I find him and his ilk in the Big Easy? Besides down Royal once in a blue moon.
Please someone get back to me.
we feature a bunch of New Orleans based folks on this channel. check them out, then follow their pages on facebook/instagram. they'll post about the things that they're up to in New Orleans. or just go up to any of the buskers on the street corners and ask where they listen to music.
How TRUE. So i just enjoy what little i have.
Mark Twain lookin ass mustache indeed❤️ Love everything about this one, thanks GemsOnVHS!
Love. It. Thank you
I hope your feeling better after all the troubles. Try and keep it 60/50 and keep on keepin on.
Yes!
Holy fuck this is immaculate
Who is this guy and why have I never heard of him? Finally, something unique. Talent pours out of this guy. Does he play live and tour?
