Saturday February 24, Todd will be at the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo grounds for several events. At 2 p.m. he'll do a "Meet and Greet" at the Texas Cancer Kids Benefit at the Planet Texas BBQ Cook-off Tent. Then at 6 p.m., Todd joins his band Stampede on the Main stage for a full-blown live set, which will include his hits, "Small Town Radio," "Every Honky Tonkin' Hero (Has His Day)," "I Don't Live Here Anymore" and "I've Got Mexico." While Todd is performing live at the Rodeo, KTRK (ABC, Channel 13) will air a pre-recorded segment on Todd as part of their HLSR coverage on the 6:30 p.m. news.
Rounding out the weekend, Todd makes history with a 2 p.m. curtain call (Sunday, February 25) at the Stafford Centre for the Performing Arts, becoming the first country artist to appear with the Ft. Bend Symphony Orchestra. Todd, his band, and the FSBO will join together for A Salute To America's Cowboys, which will include special renditions of Todd's "Cowboy Legacy" (a tribute to the late Chris LeDoux), "Five Mornings Down," "First Date For The Last Time" and "Bob Wills Song."
Fritsch's much-anticipated second CD, SAWDUST, (Diamond Music Group/Spinville Records) is due out April 17, and country radio - and Todd's fans - are already raving about the disc's first single, "What's Wrong With Me." The hilarious video (which features baseball's superstar pitcher Roger Clemens and country legend Eddy Raven) also showcases Todd's own stunt work. CMT LOADED has just debuted the clip, which has already generated nearly 8,000 downloads from Todd's site www.toddfritsch.com and his MySpace page www.myspace.com/toddfritsch.
