TODD LOMBARDO (KACEY MUSGRAVES, NIALL HORAN, MORGAN WALLEN)

Todays Guest is Todd Lombardo! Todd’s career has been a masterful balancing act of execution as a first call studio musician, songwriter and producer. 

His catalog of recording credits have amassed over 3 billion streams. He’s earned 2 nominations for ACM acoustic guitar player of the year, and has collaborated with artists ranging from Niall Horan and James Bay, to Morgan Wallen and Sam Hunt, to Kacey Musgraves and Vince Gill.

Todd’s path into the upper echelon of the recording industry started with his exploration of creating demos in his home studio and collaborating with a variety of songwriters. Eventually those projects caught the ears of many of Nashville’s top producers and Todd found himself on the tracking floor as one of the select few, first call guitar players in the studio scene.

While keeping up with a demanding schedule in the studio, Todd continued to carve out time for his Instrumental projects under the name TOLO, as well as songwriting and producing with artists such as Lera Lynn, Jana Mila, and Sarah Buxton.

This episode rounds the bases of Todd’s home run career, covering topics like building confidence in the chair, creating parts that fit the track, home recording ear, and so much more!
