Todd Lazar - No one lays down a groove or stays true to the pocket better than THIS guy. Whether it’s a thick funk, slammin’ rock n’ roll or an extemporaneous jazz piece Todd Lazar exemplifies the best of the best. Another guy whose stage presence is undeniable, it would come as no surprise that all of the members of bands he plays with say you just can’t take your eyes off him or keep from movin’ when he’s playing. His amazing ability to stretch himself allows him to play with many local acts.
When he was 10 yrs old he saw Stanley Clarke on TV and his love for the bass guitar has never waned. He went to the Chicago Musical College, a division of the Performing Arts school at Roosevelt University and completed his degree in Jazz Performance. While classically trained, his love of all genres allows him to tour all over the world with international artists like Gracie Curran and the High Falutin’ Band, Wild & Free Annika Chambers and Barcelona, Spain’s powerhouse guitarist Alex Zayas. Local artists include Black Diamond Sessions, Mitch The Lip and Side Hustle, Derrick Procell, Zach Avery, Darren Jay and The Delta Souls , Soulmatik, Irish Heartbeat and The Summer Of Love.
