Funny, insightful - authentic & energetic. The perfect mix of modern and traditional folk.

Tod Pronto is a singer/songwriter from the Green Mountains of Vermont. In addition to his studio albums (Hide Away (From The Sun), It Can’t All Be Wrong & Nashville Stereo), he also composes instrumental tracks that have received placements in television programs such as “American Pickers”, “Last Week Tonight With John Oliver”, “Impractical Jokers” and a Golden Corral television commercial, among others.

His latest release, “I Don’t Want To Live On The Moon” is a reworking of a song from one of Tod’s favorite childhood memories while watching Sesame Street. Looking out his bedroom window, Ernie sang about his desire to visit the moon someday, but ultimately decided that he wouldn’t want to live there because he’d miss his family.

When Tod started performing the song live, he noticed how deeply it moved people in the audience. “With the current polarization in the country, I think it’s a perfect time to release this song. We’re so consumed by discord and constant negativity, and we could all use a little magic in our hearts again.” When performing it live, adults and children alike had a little twinkle in their eye while listening and would approach Tod after to tell him how moved they were by the song, whether they remembered it was originally from Sesame Street or not.  

“I’ve carried the memory of the song with me over the years and I’ve always wanted to do my own version and share it with a wider audience. I’m happy to finally have that opportunity.”

Tod’s music combines folk, roots, country and blues to create a unique blend of Americana music. On stage, Tod engages the audience with both his music and his humorous and energetic storytelling that is always a highlight of the show. Tod has shared the stage with Jonathan Edwards, Ellis Paul, Livingston Taylor and Ben Caplan, among others.
