Todd Grubbs: no known unknown

Thanks to Michelle Holland for reminding me to post something about this guy:
Todd Grubbs is an internationally respected rock guitarist/composer from Tampa, Florida. His music has been released worldwide and has received critical acclaim as well as commercial success.
Todd has been featured in major guitar magazines and on radio programs in the U.S., Europe and Asia. Todd has dedicated himself to composing and performing mainly instrumental music, focusing his talents on what interests him and is always trying to expand his musical boundaries.
Todd's current CD "Time, Space and the Electric" (Released 2008) is a perfect example of a culmination of years of experiences, experimentation and passion that has brought Todd to where he is today. From the first note, Todd captures the listeners ear with mesmerizing melodies and technical proficiency that takes them to a different plane altogether.

QUOTES
Time, Space and the Electric sounds incredible! Its a rare work of sonic art
20th Century Guitar (Robert Silverstein)

With a clear soaring tone, Grubbs has the chops to keep the shred heads satisfied but it's certainly not his raison d' etre, more interested in melody and feel than speed, Grubbs knows when to hold back as much as when to fire away.
Guitar World
Todd knows that chops without good compositions, original arrangements and a good sense of humor lead nowhere, as he has all the goods; he can go anywhere he wants. Todd boasts a big fat juicy tone, chops to kill for and a predilection for a certain hyperactive musical schizophrenia with compositions shifting stylistically on a moments notice.
