Todd Burge Returns to Mountain City Traditional Arts
Friday, April 18, 2025 All day
- DescriptionSinger songwriter Todd Burge returns to Mountain City Traditional Arts (MCTA) on Sunday, April 27 at 4 pm. Burge’s singular brand of folk-pop storytelling brings together his wry humor, dexterous guitar work and an ear bending vocal range to cover a full range of everyday topics. Each of his songs tells a story, whether drawn from personal experience or a tale of poetically woven fiction.
A native of West Virginia's Wood County region, Burge spent the '80s and '90s earning his place as one of the most important, prolific and enduring figures in the state's music scene, fronting everything from the alt-rock band 63 Eyes to the outlaw-country cover project Triple Shot. Since the early 2000s, Burge has concentrated on his singular brand of folk-pop storytelling. If it’s been discovered by man, Todd Burge has written about it.
Burge has graced stages at an array of venues, from iconic locations like CBGB's and The Country Music Hall of Fame to the prestigious stages of The Kennedy Center, alongside countless music venues and theaters. He has been a repeat guest on various nationally syndicated programs including Mountain Stage Radio (NPR) and Songs at the Center (PBS).
MCTA is a program of FSU and a founding member of Maryland’s Folklife Network. It receives support from the Maryland Traditions Program of the State Arts Council. For more information, call 301 687 8040. - Websitehttps://events.frostburg.edu/event/todd-burge-returns-to-mountain-city-traditional-arts
